Introduction to QSLing

The final courtesy of a QSO is a QSL

You just completed an especially memorable QSO; you may have met a new friend with whom you share a number of common interests, it could be rare DX, or you may be working towards an award of some kind. What do you do now? Well, QSL of course.

There are a number of different ways to QSL:

  • Sending paper QSLs;
  • Electronic QSLs; and,
  • Email QSLs.

The advantages and disadvantages of each method are discussed in QSLing Methods.

There are a number of different ways of producing paper QSL cards; these methods are discussed in Creating Paper QSLs.

Tips for increasing your rate of return (the number of QSL cards you get) are discussed in QSLing Tips.

If you have never QSL'ed, dive in and add to the enjoyment of your favourite hobby.
