Welcome to the QSL stamp and card pages of
Mike, EI2CL
History of changes
The initial purpose of the
site was to provide some information and images of the "stamps" that
are seen sometimes on QSL cards and to invite readers to provide similar
information on stamps that might be missing from the list. In the
circumstances, the early happenings to the site - from November 2000 to March
2001 - record such changes. By April 2001, I had decided that the site should
be developed further with links to other sites, and expanded to take in some
other aspects of amateur radio and QSL card collecting.
