    "content": "Hi Tom:\n \nYou could look into using something like eQsl (www.eqsl.cc) which is pretty cool. Also, get yourself a computer logging program (N3FLP's amateur contact log) that will interface with eQsl. Pretty neat, although there is a learning curve associated with eQsl.\n \nThe exchage is different on the FM sats vs the others (AO-7, FO-29, AO-16) where you can actually have a short conversation. listen in for a bit before you try to work anyone. On the FM birds, you have to be pretty quick, as well...people don't wait to make calls to others. The FM birds are a world of their own.\n \nEnjoy, and see you on the birds!!\n \n73, \nJeff WB2SYK FN13 \n\n--- On Sun, 1/4/09, Jim Walls <[email protected]> wrote:\n\n\nFrom: Jim Walls <[email protected]>\nSubject: [amsat-bb] Re: QSL Cards?\nTo: \"Amsat-BB\" <[email protected]>\nDate: Sunday, January 4, 2009, 5:32 PM\n\n\nTom Williams wrote:\n> I'm just starting to work sats - are QSL cards commonly exchanged?
