Collecting QSL cards is almost as much fun as making the initial CW contacts. I anxiously search my mailbox every mailing day for QSLs. Since I generally mail out one or two of my own cards daily, I often find one or more cards waiting for me. Here are several of my favorite QSL cards that I have received lately. To speed up downloading, I have divided the cards into groups of about 15 cards per page. I now have two pages of cards up on this page.
First of all, here is my own QSL. Produced by me on a copier. I drew and colored the tree.
On the following QSL pages I may go back and comment about the designs on many of these cards, but for now I'll simply display them.
Like most folks, I love photo QSL cards. They are more expensive to have printed, but I believe they probably result in higher return rates. The AC4LC photo card above was made not by a commercial company, but by the ham himself. Both I and my own cat Rasta enjoy this card. There's one of those vaunted ...FSV cards. I have worked VE3FSV three times on the 40 meter novice band. And the famous W1AW QSL, no QSL card collection is complete without a couple. I don't work very much DX since I mostly do just 40 and 80 meters, but did manage to work KH6DFW Hawaii on 40 CW, and 5T5CJ Mauritania on 80 CW. Hawaii from Ohio on 40 meters during a sunspot peak is really quite easy, but for some reason I have always had trouble finding hams in Alaska on 40 or 80 meters.
