The result was '''merge''' both articles. I moved the content of [[Talk:QSL card]] to this talk page. -- [[User:Cyfal|Cyfal]] ([[User talk:Cyfal|talk]]) 19:59, 26 February 2008 (UTC)


The article "QSL" was formerly moved to [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=QSL&oldid=57240320 "QSL card"] and changed into a [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=QSL&oldid=69683308 disambiguation page], but currently both articles, "[[QSL]]" and "[[QSL card]]" have a wide overlap. I suggest we merge the text of the current "QSL card" into "QSL" and change "QSL card" in a redirect to "QSL". --[[User:Cyfal|Cyfal]] ([[User talk:Cyfal|talk]]) 00:08, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

:Those hams collecting QSLs for an award (such as Worked All States) should send a QSL card and a return envelope (with postage!) to a new contact, and the new contact would reply with their QSL card. I don't QSL 100%, but I reply 100% to those who request a card, whether they include postage or not. It costs me about $0.85 to get a QSL card back ( .01 for my card, .37 for postage each way, and .05 for each envelope) in the US. [[User:Johngriswold|Johngriswold]] 17:29, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
:An odd question -- An amateur radio contact ([[QSO]]) by definition is bi-directional. In practice, either party may send a card to the other and ask for a return card ("please QSL"). Often one person needs the card more than the other because one is working toward an award or one is a "rare DX" station. If the QSL is from an [[SWL]] - a person who is only listening, he/she can send a card to whichever station is heard -- this applies to shortwave broadcast reports as well as amateur radio. '''NB:''' It would be good if this article explained the QSL procedures, QSL bureaux, etc. a little more.--[[User:Albany45|Albany45]] 01:58, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

For those interested in Old QSL Cards, I have written a Webpage called "QSL Cards from the Past". The legacy of "Old Time" Ham Radio Operators can be found in the QSL cards they left behind. I have a collection of Old (US) Ham Radio QSL Cards dating from the early 1920s that now totals nearly 12,000 cards and can be viewed at www.w8jyz.com
