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

Stan,
What would you do with cards that only have the grid of therespondent? 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 mycard.....

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.
