Finished designing the QSLs for our recent trip to Belize and got the first batch of cards from the printer. Made a few adjustments and out of the 5 different motives test-printed decided to use these two for all the … Continue reading

PJ4 QSL designs
As usual I do have some difficulties choosing the “right” QSL front side! 😀 I spent a few hours last evening designing them (and the back sides with small scene explanations, too). So now decided to order batches of 100 … Continue reading

P4ØFA QSL card variants
Finished the artwork for the P4ØFA QSL cards, too. Still undecided which one to use, somehow I like them all! 😉 Ordered a small batch of cards for every design to see how they look like in reality. It always … Continue reading

Aruba Contest QSLs
Finished the QSL design for our contest QSOs. Paul is using MS Publisher for his QSL artwork while I’m usually doing it with my (very old) copy of Paint Shop Pro. He was so enthusiastic about it when discussing the QSLing … Continue reading

P4/DL5CW QSL
Paul had a nice idea for his QSL card. I suggested to put a smiley behind the sentence as I’m sure there *will* be people who don’t get it’s intent. 😉

New QSL design
Needed to order some new QSLs so invested a bit of time to do a new design, too. QSO details are printed directly onto the card (up to 5 QSOs per card as currently configured) using DF3CB’s BV7, alternatively I … Continue reading

My first week on “four”
Having spent my first week on the new for me 4 m band it might be a good time to sum up my first experiences. As anticipated the band is very interesting. Despite running QRP only into a small 5 ele Yagi … Continue reading

QSLs, QSLs, QSLs
It’s been quite a while since my last blog entry. Reason is very simple: a lot of QRL and not much interest in playing radio. Basically only worked a few W1AW portable slots here and there and a very few DX QSOs … Continue reading

QSL of the month – 70 cm Aurora confirmed
This time I had another VHF/UHF goodie in the QSL pile from the local QSL manager. Kjell, SM7GVF, confirmed our Aurora QSO on 432 MHz done back in July 2012. What makes it so special is 2 things: a.) It’s … Continue reading

Japan – Germany on 500 mW
Usually I don’t care much about eQSL.cc. Occasionally I upload my logs there, too, for all those who like these “cards”. While doing it I fly over the inbox and mark the “cards” received for archiving. This time one comment … Continue reading
QSL of the month
Just digging through the latest pile of QSL cards received via the bureau. One that caught my eye immediately was the confirmation of a 2 m QSO from England. What makes it so special is that Andy, G7PZL, was running … Continue reading
Mt. Athos SV/A confirmed
Had the nice folding QSL of SV2ASP/A in the mailbox today. I was lucky enough to work him via Sporadic E on 6 m in summer 2011 and then again on 10 m in autumn. Mount Athos is a separate DXCC entity … Continue reading

VK2DX QSL received / applied for 5BWAC
Finally received my first VK QSL on 80m. Usually I would not send any card direct to countries that have a working QSL bureau. But had to make an exception for VK2DX as he’s my only Oceania station on 80 … Continue reading
