Examples of Arthur’s 9CXX, W9CXX and WØCXX QSL Cards.

Almost all Amateur Radio Operators, then and now, use QSL post cards to complete their radio contacts with fellow “Hams”. Besides the station’s call sign, they generally include the date & time, band (or frequency) used and a note about the reception quality. If there is room on the card; the type of transmitter, power output and antenna are mentioned.

These post cards are just the right size to decorate the collector's “shack” walls - as reminders of a successful contact.
