Each card contains details about one or more contacts, the station and its operator. At a minimum, this includes the call sign of both stations participating in the contact, the time and date when it occurred (usually specified in UTC), the radio frequency or Band used, the mode of transmission used, and a signal report. One national association of amateur radio operators, the IARU Region 2, recommends a size of 3½ by 5½ inches (89 mm by 140 mm).<br><br>QSL cards are a ham radio operator's calling card and are frequently an expression of individual creativity — from a photo of the operator at his station to original artwork, images of the operator's home town or surrounding countryside, etc. They are frequently created with a good dose of individual pride. Consequently, the collecting of QSL cards of especially interesting designs has become an add-on hobby to the simple gathering of printed documentation of a ham's communications over the course of his or her radio career. </p></blockquote><p>From the https://www.qslmuseum.com/</p>https://peoplesgdarchive.org/item/20659/qsl-card-nampa-idahoSun, 14 Dec 2025 02:31:29 +0000<blockquote><p>Amateur radio operators exchange QSL cards to confirm two-way radio contact between stations.
