Hey Tom:
I have never sent a QSL card, but what i would like to be able to do is
print a whole sheet of them at once.
Not sure how this is possible since each card has to have different
information on it....
do you print a single card at a time in your printer?
Obviously the cheap skate method turns out to be probably the easiest for a
blind person since you can fill out the appropriate info for each card
yourself and don't have to inlist the assistance of a sited person.
They can become terribly busy or unavailible when it comes to filling out 50
QSL cards hi hi.
