A Sample of my latest Digital Image QSL Cards

The photo’s that I use on my QSL Cards are 99.9% my own photos. Photography is my 2nd hobby.

"NOTE: FOR ENVIRONMENTAL REASONS, I PREFER TO EXCHANGE IMAGE QSL CARDS BY EMAIL."

 

   

Note on QSL’s
QSLs:  Having been operating for 50+ years and QSLing 100% for most of that time, I have invested a small fortune in printing and sending paper QSL cards. With the advent of electronic confirmations, I have limited most all confirmations to electronic means only.  Logs are uploaded automatically, when a contact is completed & I manually push Log QSO, to LoTW, eQSL, ClubLog and my QRZ.com log. Therefore please seek any needed confirmations by these systems.  If you really want a paper card, I will send one Direct if Canadian postage (or US$’s) is included with request. CDN postage costs $3.25 to mail one DX card. Myself I enjoy an emailed QSL card more than a paper one. I display all received QSL Cards to my flickr collection:
