My own QSLs can be found in the AH6HY QSL Gallery ; this page is devoted to other Hawaii QSLs I've found particularly interesting or attractive. Unfortunately Hawaii residents have developed a reputation for making cheap plain cards or not bothering to QSL at all. It is with a sense of sadness that I discovered most of the prettiest Hawaii QSLs in my collection were made not by residents, but by temporary visitors.

Below, one of my first local QSLs, a card that always brings a smile to my face. Alfred's callsign was so close to mine (KH6HY vs AH6HY) that our bureau cards were frequently intermingled and it would be up to us to later send the wayward incoming cards to their proper places. After getting to know Alfred informally this way, we eventually made a sked so we could finally claim each other's QSLs for ourselves. He became a Silent Key in 1999 before we could arrange to meet in person, but I always considered him a friend.
