DXRC QSL-card Design School

Delta-Xray Radio Club has made a set of Guidelines, in order to support our members when designing and printing QSL-cards.
At this page we present a list of "things" that we recommend are remembered while designing a good QSL-card.

This page focus at Personal QSL-cards. If you search for information about Activity QSL-cards - please click here.




Personal QSL-cards.
===================


==> General statements:

Several callsigns at one QSL-card
We believe every member should have his/hers own QSL-card.
This QSL-card can, withour problems, contain several callsigns, like:
30DX400
30DX400/E317 Tamarit Island
30DX400/_____


Shorts
We recommend you to use as few "shorts" as possible, as not all understand what the "short" means.
Examples:
Please write: "Tamarit Island", do not write "Tamarit Isl." or "Tam. Is."
Please write: "For example", do not write "i.g." or "for ex."


Island name
If you live on an island, we recommend you to print the Island name and "IOTA-code" at your QSL-card.
Example: "Sealand Island - EU029"
Graphic example - click mere.



==> Need to have:

1 to 5 - A box for general QSO-info
We suggest you design a "box" where you can type in general info for the QSO. A standard box can look like the examples showed here.
The box contains the following fields (below listed as number 1 to number 5):

1 - Callsign

There must be a box where you can type in the callsign of the operator you have worked.
"Confirming QSO with:" (30DX400)
Example: click mere.


2 - date/time
There must be a box where you can type in the data and time for the QSO. We recommend that all times are given in GMT.
"Day" - "Month" - "Year" and "Time (GMT)"
Example: click mere.


3 - RS(T)
There must be a box where you can type in the radio report (RS) for the QSO. We recommend that the box is named "RS".
"RS"
Example: click mere.


4 - Frequency/band (QRG)
There must be a box where you can type in the frequency or band (QRG) of the QSO. We recommend one of the 2 formats are used:
- Band ==> normally typed as "11"
- Frequency ==> Normally typed as "27.600"
Example: click mere.
