ABOUT QSL.NET "Connecting Hams around the world!"
QSl.NET was started in the Winter of 1996 by K3TKJ as an experiment in managing a live Internet network and learning the Linux Operating System
The System you see here has grown by word of mouth to be largest site devoted totally to Amateur Radio on the Internet.
Recently QSL.NET went over 400,000 users, it sends and receives over 1 million e-mails daily....and has online over 50,000 individual and club web pages. Not links...the pages live here. Now 6 years old, QSL.NET, QTH.NET and SWL.NET are the largest collection points of ham radio knowledge to be found anywhere.
The QSL system consists of 21 servers offering the following FREE services....all you need is to be a ham.

Real time propagation pulled from sites all over the world and displayed in one easy place with valuable data and lots of graphics. This site has won many acclaims in CQ, QST and other DX Journals.
CQDX IRC chat room with worldwide DX spotting in real time.
QSL.NET also hosts domains and provides other internet services to individuals, clubs and businesses at very competative rates.
QSL.NET is a hobby site not a business, I do this because it allows me to give back to ham radio some of what it has given me. Licensed almost 40 years, ham radio has driven many of my life decisions and I am most grateful to the hobby. Running QSL is not cheap, in 2001 the total budget was over $36,000...
This is funded by user and club donations and income derived from the non-free services.
Please extend my invitation to your friends to use QSL.NET and to e-mail me or call me if there is anything I can ever help them with. Also please remind your club members to tell a friend about QSL.NET.
