QSL Cards

Introduction

QSL cards are a way of confirming an amateur radio QSO. Q codes were originally used as a way of simplifying a number of commonly used terms used in amateur radio. The term QSL when used in a contact is a request for confirmation of a contact and a QSO is a contact. Click here for a more exhaustive list!

Here is a small selection of some QSL cards which are currently sitting gathering dust in my shack.
