Hadi's Playground - Hadi's QSL of the Month

DX and other challenging Skips

A QSLhibition

No question - one of the highlights in amateur radio is receiving QSLs. Some people even regard QSL cards as "the final courtesy of a QSO". I believe this to be absolutely true - provided we are talking about genuine paper cards, those designed and despatched by your QSO-counterpart as sort of his very personal "business card". I use to receive more than fifty QSL cards from the Club's QSL bureau once every month and another half-a-dozen cards coming by mail. I every now and again ask myself: Which, in terms of graphic or photographic design, is the most appealing or remarkable card, and which, in terms of usefulness for a certain diploma or another self-set target, is the most helpful QSL? In addition to that: How did the operator or the group of operators behind the card perform in the QSO(s) I had with him or them? What is my experience with the QSL manager? Which QSL possibly covers all these aspects in a more than just positive way?

A decision like that, monthly as it is, can only be a very subjective one. Nonetheless, I would not really like to keep my decision from you. So here it is: my, Hadi's QSL of the Month, the card for my (virtual) clip-on picture frame.
