The first one doesn't require a scanner: all the graphics are standard clip art, including the ARRL logo. This particular QSL (to Dan, AC6PI) was made up just for the Halloween weekend:
The next QSL (to Lou, G5RV) followed a DX QRP contact (but see the letter I got back from G5RV).
Note the Washington State silhouette in the top right corner: you can find your own state's silhouette on the Microsoft Office 97 Professional Edition CD-ROM:
The next QSL (to Cid, PY1DUB) added a scanned photo, and moved the Washington State outline into the background as a "watermark".
The personal note to Cid is translated from English to Portuguese, using the AltaVista translator mentioned in the Parlez Vous DX? page:
This QSL (to Don, WB8OCV) includes a "Two Meter Mobile" photo my wife took during our Christmas 1998 trip to Big Bend, Texas:
The next QSL (to Brad, W5BK) adds a picture of my primary rig, lifted from Kenwood's web pages.
This QSL (to Peggy, WB6LRV) adds a photo of my wife on her white Arab at the beach.
The border pattern is provided by Word's page border function (click Format, Borders and Shading, Page Border, Art).
This QSL (to Alan, W6BAK) was never printed on paper: the word processor image was lifted directly from the monitor with a screen capture utility, reduced as a JPEG, and then attached to an e-mail.
No printing, no scanning, no postage -- just an instant QSL.
This QSL (to Vlad, RV3DAR) has more brown tones -- bright reds don't display as crisply on some monitors.
