Re: What is the proper way to fill out a QSL satellite card

24 Jun 2010

      Hi Joe, 
Many stations do not have the grid printed on their cards.  I also
collect counties, and many don't have the county, either.
But it is OK to look them up and write it in PENCIL on the back
of the card.  I think that's in the ARRL's rules for VUCC.   I got credit
for
all of those that I had to find it and write it myself.
Also there are a lot of folks that still don't know what grid they're in!
That's probably OK if they're at home, but it they're out portable
or mobile it could be a problem trying to figure it out later.
73, good hunting!

Stan,
What would you do with cards that only have the grid of the 

respondent?
Living in South Dakota I get lots of QSLs, and my grid is well 
displayed on
the card, but I have never bothered to look the other guy's grid up 
and put
it on the card.
I figured he put his grid on his card and I put my grid on my 

card.....

Hello Yanko,
For VUCC satellite credit I want to see on the QSL card:

the word "sat",  or "satellite", or the actual satellite like

AO-40
2. The 4 digit grid of each of the QSO partners. 6 digit grid 
squares 
are OK too
3. Uplink and downlink frequencies or bands, eg 2M up, 70 cm down, 
U/S, 
V/U, etc.
4. the normal QSL info like call signs, date, time in UTC,
5. signal report: RST for CW (eg.599), RS for SSB/FM (eg.59)
      EME recognized signal reports would be OK for EME QSLs.
6. Multiple QSO's on a single card or sheet of paper are OK with all
required info.
      If typed/printed I want to see the senders initials to 
authenticate
      Multiple QSO's on a label, on a QSL card are OK.
