For Members
State-Side QSLs
Need to send a QSL card? Look up the call sign at the QRZ.COM Callsign Database (includes foreign and FCC licensed stations) or the FCC ULS database (only FCC licensed USA stations) and write the address on an envelope and affix the correct amount of postage. An envelope template is available for you to print an envelope with the correct return address. There is also a QSO information template so you can print the QSO information directly onto the back of our QSL card with your own computer printer.
International QSLs
Some stations (especially DX stations) may require you to send a SASE if you want them to send you a QSL card in return. If you want to get a response from these stations, you will need to include enough International Reply Coupons.
It is important that you DO NOT mark the envelope with anything that shows it is from an Amateur Radio Station (ie, don't include call signs) because in some countries this mail is targeted and the IRCs or in some cases cash money is removed from the contents by people handling the mail. This means you SHOULD NOT use our club envelope template since it can easily be identified as coming from an amateur radio station.
If your mail is intercepted and the contents removed, then you won't receive a QSL reply. Amateur radio operators must be careful with international postage and shipping because IRCs and currencies have value - and are known to be routinely sent in the mail by amateur radio operators. So the less your mail looks like it was sent by an amateur radio station, the less likely it will be intercepted by thieves and the better your chances are of getting a QSL reply from a rare DX.
