February 2026 QSL Card Inbox

DX QSL

February is a short month. So it’s fitting to also have a small number of cards come through the inbox. Here are a few that are of some interest. This card from OH0Z confirms a CW contact on 10M. Aland Island is a group of autonomous Finnish Islands in the middle of the Baltic Sea. […]

October 2025 QSL Card Inbox

DX QSL

It had been a quiet couple of months of incoming QSL cards. But a couple of QSL Bureau envelopes came in with some interesting cards including one for a brand new country. I worked TO4A on the island of Martinique on 10M, 15M and 20M using CW during the ARRL DX Contest. All contacts were […]

Deleted DXCC Entities

DX QSL
A15AW QSL Card

Here are few QSL Cards from contacts made with “countries” that no longer exist (deleted DXCC entities). It’s not as though they were erased from the map. Rather, they no longer count for a separate DXCC credit as they once did. The Abu Ail lighthouse in the Red Sea had been under French or British […]

May 2025 QSL Card Inbox

DX QSL

Here are a few of the more interesting QSL cards to come my way in the last couple of months. A glimpse into how I keep my QSL Cards safe and secure once I get possession. My sentry cat Oliver is hard at work, as always. I had confirmed contacts with Sao Tome and Principe […]

March 2025 QSL Card Inbox

DX QSL

Here are a few of the more interesting cards that I’ve received in the last couple of months. I’ve worked a few Namibian stations over the years. But I have not had great luck in getting confirmations. So I was happy to work V55LA on 20M, 17M and 12M using CW and SSB and getting […]

January 2025 QSL Card Inbox

DX QSL

The last couple of months have been very busy on the QSL Card front. A lot of DXpedition cards have come in as well a nice size stack of cards from the incoming bureau. So many cards that I had to leave out quite a few that were interesting, but just not enough to make […]

November 2024 QSL Card Inbox

DX QSL

Here are some of the more interesting QSL Cards that I’ve received in my Inbox over the last couple of months through November 2024. I’ve only worked two Andorran stations the entire time I’ve been licensed. So I was happy to receive this QSL Card from C31CA for a contact on 20M using FT8. This […]

Hidden Labels Control in HRD

QSL Software

I’m a big fan of HamRadioDeluxe (HRD). All of my logged QSOs go into it. QSL chores are much easier by having all of your contacts in an easily searchable database. As a software engineer, I delayed jettisoning paper logs for far too long. There’s no going back now for me. Despite buying HRD some […]

August 2024 QSL Card Inbox

DX QSL

Here are some of the more interesting QSL Cards I’ve received over the last couple of months leading into August 2024. I also received a nice card for 7P8EI in Lesotho from CW and SSB contacts 17M and 15M respectively. Strangely though, my scanner would not scan the card without a weird anomaly showing up […]

June 2024 QSL Card Inbox

DX QSL

I had another good run of QSL cards coming in through May and June. Several All Time New Ones (ATNO) and plenty of cards that filled in needed modes or bands. I had worked Saint Helena before but this QSL card from ZD7Z filled in a band and mode gap for me. I work Elvira […]
