Since I'm new at this, what information should one put an a satellite QSL? What information is different than on a terrestrial QSL. I've based the few I've sent so far, on examples I've seen on the web. I'm guessing they are most likely of the terrestrial type.
There are a few different fields for satellite. I had satellite specific QSL cards made up with the following fields: Callsign, Day, Month, Year, UTC, Satellite & mode, Mode, RST, and QSL PSE or TNX There is a picture of the card at: http://home.earthlink.net/~k6ccc/QSL.html
Since I had to explain the "Satellite & Mode" box as a separate "Mode" box to the QSL card printer (he wanted to make sure that's what I wanted), I will do it here. Satellite & Mode is which bird and the band mode that was used (mode A, B, J or in more modern terms, V/U, U/S, etc); whereas the "Mode" box is for the emission mode (i.e. FM, SSB, SSTV, etc). I got mine from W4MPY, and he was happy to make a custom set of fields for me.
