The modern way to send QSL Cards, via email.  Cuts out need for using a QSL Bureau to send cards, or stamps and envelops!  You can still print them out if you want to put on the wall or file away.

If you use ACLog, LOG4OM, HRD or even save logs as *.adif file you can use this program to send email QSL cards!  It can be a little difficult to set up but the man that wrote it is very patient and helpful.  It costs $50 and comes with 1 qsl card format you can use, you can also make your own and have multiple ones.

Then you can just go through your log and select and send QSL cards by email.  The assumption is that the person in your log has an email address available in QRZ or FCC database.  If not, you can still create the card but print and send snail mail.  After configuring, click on QSL/s and then send email.  It reads the log, creates the QSL JPG with QSO data, attaches it to the email below and sends.  You set up how you want the email to read… no muss no fuss!  I print out my received cards to put in my display.  Getting the old custom of QSL cards up to date with the modern era!

Now gonna spend the next few weeks sending out about 10k QSL cards for 3 years of FT8 and phone contacts!  FYI this card (k5wjf.jpg) is the free one I got with the purchase.  the email reads:

<name>,

Thank you for the QSO. Please find my QSO card attached. I have also uploaded the contact to LOTW, QRZ Logbook, eQSL, and Clublog.
