Hi Bob, > On page 246 it says to choose K9DD QSL Card, which I did, but its layout > is portrait instead of landscape, so how do I turn it?
I left it sideways and turned my graphics to the left. It makes it easier to use the card stock I bought > Next on the same page it says to select the variable "OPRCALL", which I > assume would be my call. Well instead of my call I got WB4GCP and have > NO clue where that came from. If you have multiple callsigns don't use my call, use oprcall. The display on any card you design by default will not be your call, or your name or your address but your info will print when you use the card. Don't worry about this. You can do a lot with this program. I have successfully build a nice QSL Card using DXBase. You can see it at www.w2nra.com/qrp . I've incorporated a few neat tricks that make it work well. For example it displays the correct callsign for any of the calls I've had, not just my current. It displays the correct rig based on log info and the correct antenna for the band. It also displays the frequency rounded to Mhz with a separate box for the exact frequency (when in the log). It includes the QSL route and well as the Ops first name if in the log. It's been a while since I designed my card so forgive me if I forgot some of the details. It is also very easy to modify and make several versions of your QSL card with different info and different graphics. I got some nice micro-perforated card stock and it works great. Play with the program, learn by doing and save often with slightly different names so you can go back if you make a mistake. Good luck, be patient, 73, Art W2NRA
