OT: QSL reply to a SWL Enthusiast
 
|
I received a QSL card from a SWL Enthusiast in Switzerland, he copied my KX1 2 watt QSO and has requested a QSL card. Since this has never happened to me before I am not sure what to put on the QSL card.
Should I fill out the QSL information with my contacts information and then add my comments to him in the remarks section? I apologize for the band width but I would like to send the card with the appropriate info, and this is a first for me. 73 K2CG Chuck G.

Hi Chuck
I always reply to SWL QSL. If they have done an effort to write to me they sure deserve a QSL I just fill in the SWL number and insted of stating confirming QSO i cross over QSO and add SWL. I then add QSO data like date, time and my power. In comments field i add confirming swl of QSO between XXXXX and me Br.

Definitely send him a card confirming his reception of your signals.
Nothing is more satisfying to a SWL buff than to receive cards, and you should be proud of the card he sent you. 73, Gregg W9DHI -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of [hidden email] Sent: Tuesday, November 21, 2006 4:05 PM To: [hidden email] Subject: [Elecraft] OT: QSL reply to a SWL Enthusiast I received a QSL card from a SWL Enthusiast in Switzerland, he copied my KX1 2 watt QSO and has requested a QSL card.

Chuck,
By all means send the Swiss SWL your card. I used to do that long before I was ever licensed in PA, and it was a great treat to receive a response to my SWL card. It will also be a treasured card to add to your file for your KX1. Simply add whatever notes to your card seem appropriate to express your thanks for receiving it. As for the Solar Cycle, from what I read on propogation messages, it seems (and we all hope) that the bottom of the current cycle is quite close...perhaps in mid-2007. Nevertheless, there are still opportunities for QSOs on 15m and 17m. You have to be on your toes, however, to keep exchanges short if you run your rig(s) at low power levels.

He gave me a 339 report on 160m using a Trio 9R59DE and indoor rotary loop antenna! If you know the radio you can see why I was/am happy :-) Trev G3ZYY -- Trevor Day Sunny Saltash _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
