BLANK QSL CARD OF
JAYANT BHIDE, 474011 GWALIOR, MADHYA PRADESH, INDIA
|
A QSL card is a written confirmation of either
a two-way radio communication between two amateur radio stations; a one-way
reception of a signal from an AM radio, FM radio, television or shortwave
broadcasting station; or the reception of a two-way radio communication by a
third party listener. A typical QSL card is the same size and made from the
same material as a typical postcard, and most are sent through the mail as
such.
QSL card derived its name from the Q code
"QSL". A Q code message can stand for a statement or a question (when
the code is followed by a question mark). In this case, 'QSL?' (note the
question mark) means "Do you confirm receipt of my transmission?"
while 'QSL' (without a question mark) means "I confirm receipt of your
transmission.". (WIKIPEDIA)
