Scott:
First of all, there's no need to apologize for all of the questions. That's
what we are here for, and believe me, I've bombarded the list with my share
of questions over the past 10 years or so as well!
Regarding QSL cards, I have two thoughts here:
First, I have a qsl template that I'd be happy to send to you if you want
it. It was made a number of years ago by scanning one of my original W4MPY
QSL cards into a Microsoft Word document format, and then putting tabs where
the various entry fields are. Once the information was filled out, I could
then print the cards out on card stock, and my XYL (who is a ham) would help
address and send them out.
Secondly, I am now exploring the Whitestick log program that apparently has
a QSL card maker in it. I have yet to try it, but that will be another
venture here in the coming days.
I like the idea of being able to QSL on line, but I think I would miss the
actual experience of getting cards that I can catalog for future reference
later. I saw the value of that a few weeks ago when our local club had a
QSL night at one of our meetings where I, and a bunch of others, brought
received QSLS in to share.
Anyway, this is just my two cents worth at the current time, and I'll be
happy to help however I can.

Hi all,
Sorry I am so full of questions, but I promise to tone down. :)
So, what do folks do for QSL cards? Are people going to online SLing? I =
see reference in Aether about online QSL cards, so this is a little =
appealing. I used to use a program called QSLMaker (if I recall =
correctly) and I think it ran on Windows, but that was a rather long =
time back. In any case I had this template and I would just fill in the =
stuff from my logs. NOw of course I'd like to be able to send QSL cards =
to folks and I do not have the software, templates, and well not much =
from then either. In fact I lost all my logs and can only assume =
something happen to them when I moved, but it is sad what eight years =
can do. So, that was the reason for getting Aether.
So, any thoughts appreciated.
