Club QSL Card

The club is currently designing a QSL card to confirm communications and to send as a thank you to community members who have worked with the club.   Here is the first card iteration presented at the May 25, 2018 club meeting:

First QSL card iteration presented by KO2V on 4/25/18

The card was well received, and further discussion at the meeting found some potential areas of improvement.  We concluded that the card needed more slugs, the callsigns 'G' was somewhat ilegible, and that we need to format a lot of information on the back.

Here is a reference for the contact information to put on the back:

QSL card format from VA3HJ's do's and don'ts page

The photo and cubesat icon files are (hopefully) posted below.  If you need help putting your vision, send me your attempts.  The large font is Archer (available for free here) and the small text is regular ol' futura.

 Moving forward, we need:

- a slug icon (perhaps with real antennae)

- a better callsign font, or better orbit positioning

- a format for the back of the card

If you would rather focus on one of these elements instead of the full card, contact me and I can post any ideas you have here/test your plan with the rest of the card format.

I wish you luck with your editting, and I'd love to see anything you come up with!
