Questions Still Linger

How does he do it?

Dennis, G3PNF is venturing abroad again - September 2005 - and doubtless will be distributing his now virtually collector's items of homemade QSL cards.

In his own words:-

Here are samples (to add to those already displayed on the pages showing my earlier Overseas activities) of what can easily be done by any of our Members owning a computer/printer and some software .
Up until 2004 I used Migrografx Windows Draw © to design my cards. This year I have switched to Serif Drawplus version 4 ©, but they are up to version 10 now. It is a relatively simple program to use and has a good tutorial.
My printer is a bog-standard Epson Stylus Colour 880 inkjet ®. Where a camera is used it is a FujiFilm S304 digital ®.
I always use A4 card and put four QSLs on each. At present I am using 200g/m2 card manufactured by Sigel obtainable from Viking Direct. I have grey, blue and yellow.
The card is passed through the printer once, for the front of the card, then fed through a second time for the reverse side then guillotined carefully - none of the items nor inks etc. come cheaply!

Dennis sorts his QSL cards

And of course you want to know where and when - keep your eyes on our Special Events and Members' Activity page.

HB/G3PNF - 3rd to 8th September both dates inclusive.

I5/G3PNF - 10th to 22nd September both dates inclusive.

Although I will be taking my 40 metre antenna, I expect most contacts to be on 20 metres.
CW on 14.056 and SSB on 14.205 + or - (not on 14.180!)
I have also just taken delivery of a 17 metre mobile whip, so expect to be on this band when conditions allow
on 18.085 CW and will try SSB on 18.161.

Four at a time
