How do I design a QSL card?


Designing a custom QSL card is easier than you might imagine- one place to start is with some free software available here: http://qslmaker.mi-nts.org/  or check out the web site of Robert Patterson, K5DZE who has a nice page describing how to use a PC word processor to make a custom QSL card.  You can also use your favorite search engine to search for “QSL card maker software”.  

73 and good luck in the contest!
