Excellent - did you send an electronic report? Less stations send cards now
but an email "QSL" is so uninspiring. Mike "acquamarina" wrote in message ...

I agree with Mike, the e-QSLs just lack something. I guess I miss the stamps, and the personal writing. Just pining for the good old days of DX in the late 60s and early 70s.

Al For e-mail QSLs I use my CD case liner making software to create a 2 sided "card" that will fit in my QSL sleeves (about the size of 3x5 photo holders a normal album holds). Side one is an appropriate picture for said station and side two is a copy/paste of the e-mail text confirming reception. Print, crop, fold and put in sleeve. Looks great. Do a couple of practice ones to get the size right. Make a template if possible and you can whip one out in a couple of minutes. |
You'd think an E-QSL would only be sent when you manage to "catch" their

and what if you don't have an email address?
I know several people who don't. I guess they simply wouldn't get a QSL. |

Might be easier to send the $2 that they request. How much are IRC's these days? I haven't used them in years, preferring the 'green stamp' route', and typically I'd only send one. dxAce Michigan USA You might be right. The cost seems to vary - the ones I'd sent to Guatemala recently were around 75 cents, if memory serves (and it doesn't always anymore ;-), and the IRCs for Sri Lanka were a buck more than that. When I purchased them, the PO wanted to know the specific nation, and the IRC had the nation and value printed on it. If they want two, there's probably a good chance that they intend to send along more than just a QSL postcard. Bruce Jensen I just purchased 30 on Saipan the other day. The brand new ones are about the size of your typical QSL card AND expire on 31 DEC 2006. I guess the UPU was trying to stop people from hoarding them and using them as currency or for trade. AND what's more, the buggardly things now cost $1.75 (printed on them). They are bar-coded too.... The old 80 cent jobbies are history, I guess. I only sent 1 to RNZ, and at a buck seventy-five, that ought to be enough to airmail me a stinkin' card!
