QSL Cards

Printing of QSL Cards

  • It's like with business calling cards: Because of changes in your life ( relocation, new call sign → after upgrading the amateur radio license from class E to class A, new phone number, new website URL,... ) most of the cards will never be distributed. If you buy 500, you will put 450 into garbage. If you buy 1000, you will put 950 into garbage...
  • ELLI QSL printing - “We print QSL cards that bring success!”.
  • HappyQSL.com - “800 QSL-Karten...”, “Schöne, farbige QSL Karten welche Sie für Ihre Verbindungen verschicken erhöhen die Anzahl der bestätigten QSO”.
  • The commercial HAM administration software HAM Office - Das deutschsprachige Standard-Logbuchprogramm.
    • It can generate QSL cards, so that the radio amateur can print it with the QSO-dates on glossy photo paper. The motive can be change by each mode. Mobile QSOs can be confirmed, with the proper location data.
  • MeMo Druck Fulda - “3000 QSL Karten...”.
  • QSL Shop - 500, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000 QSL cards.

Technology Suggestions

  • Get a A/D converter board with ADC 10 bit, successive approximation method ( not Sigma Delta, not Dual Slope ), e.g. AD 9280, AD9282, plus a controller board with USB interface, to control the device by a Windows computer.
  • Automotive SDR focusses on “Phase Diversity”. “Antenna Diversity” is already below the accepted requirements level. You need a DSP with about 500 Mips for data processing.
