For very short run QSLs, I make up a card in a photo editing program and print it as a 4x6 print. I cut that down to 3.5" x 5.5" for a standard QSL size. I put all the QSO information on the front and leave the back as it comes from the photo shop.

For the 80-100 cards I need to print for the special event station that just finished, it has been suggested that I get a copy shop (Kinko's/FedEx etc.) to print them 4 up on glossy stock with anything I want on the back. For larger numbers, the various QSL printers are probably the way to go.


As for sending QSLs, I upload all my contacts to LotW (including net control contacts for the Elecraft SSB net). If I want a card from you, I will send you one with a SASE/SAE w/green stamps. If you want a card from me, send a request via email or postal mail. Since Santa Clara county isn't a rare one, I can afford the postage for the people who want my card.

I will add, I still don't know the procedure to apply paper QSLs to DXCC. I got mine entirely with LotW.

So while on the topic of cards (I print my own with my computer on card stock), I'm wondering if there is recommendations for someone that sells photo QSL's with custom printed info? Might like to upgrade the quality of my QSL's. I have different cards for 600m, 6m, 2m, and mw-eme plus terrestrial mw. I use the 6m card for any HF requests.
