QSL Card for KN5GRK
This is a front view of the QSL card that I send out to radio operators who
request one, or to persons in exchange for other cards that I need for awards.
I use my computer to custom make my own cards. I buy 8 1/2" x 11" card stock and
have a print shop cut it in half
to make 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" sheets.
I use MS Word 97 to lay out both sides of my card. I then put a full sheet of card
stock in my Cannon BJC 4000 printer, run a test print. I then use this test print to
make a template guide for the half sheet of card stock. I then drop a half-sheet of
the card stock in the guide and make a copy, I then flip the half-sheet over and make
another print. This makes two QSL cards that can now be cut into using a paper cutter.
You may have to make some changes in the program layout to make both sides overlap
each other, this is probably the hardest part.
The nice thing about doing it this way is: If at any time the information on your
QSL card changes, it is not hard to make these changes and you print only the amount
you need.
