QSL QSL QSL ...

QSLs are confirmation cards that amateur radio operators exchange after having met on the air. Unlicensed shortwave listeners may also get QSLs from ham radio stations if they send them listener reports. Some of these cards are exchanged via (snail) mail, however, the bulk of cards gets exchanged via radio clubs.

This is one of my QSL cards featuring a German Junker standard keyer and a pretty young operator. The secrets of excellent CW are perseverance, musical talent, and an early start...

IK2RMZ QSL policy is as follows

• I like QSL card exchange but I don't mind if others don't.
• I send out QSL cards via bureau immediately after the QSO if the contacted station requests a card.
• I send out a card if I receive one from a station that did not request a QSL during the QSO. I cross-check all incoming cards with my logs.
• I answer all QSLs the way I receive them.
• I reject wrong QSLs.
• I send out cards to CW beginners.
• I send out cards for all (non-contest) QRP-QRP contacts.
• I send out cards to DX stations (just like most of us).
• Electronic QSLs? No, thanks.
• I honor all SWL cards.
• If you wish a real fast direct QSL ask my postal address via e-mail.
