Why did I get a QSL card from QSL.now?
You got this email because an amateur radio operator logged a contact with your callsign and sent you a QSL card to confirm it. QSL.now is a free service that makes those cards from their log and emails them. A QSL card is the traditional thank-you between two stations after a contact, and this one came by email instead of by mail.
Where we got your address
From your callsign's public listing on QRZ.com. If QRZ shows no address, a signed-in sender with a confirmed email can use the address in their own log. The sender never sees the address we looked up.
What is in the email
- The date, time in UTC, band, mode, and signal reports the other station logged.
- Your card, attached as a picture and as a PDF that prints at its real size.
- Sometimes a short message from the other station, up to 60 characters.
Nothing to download, install, or sign up for. The card is yours to keep.
If you want to send one back
Press Send a QSL back, free in the email and upload your own log. No account is needed. When your log includes your contact with them, we tick it for you, and nothing goes out until you press send. Replying to the email itself goes nowhere.
If you would rather not get these
Each email ends with two links, and neither needs a login:
- Unsubscribe from that callsign stops cards from that one station.
- Unsubscribe from all QSL.now emails stops every sender.
To block your address and your callsign in advance, use the Do Not Email list. Not a ham, or never made this contact? The same links stop the mail, and you can tell us at support@qsl.now.
Does this card count for an award?
Not for ARRL awards such as DXCC or WAS. Those take a Logbook of The World match or a card that came through the mail. What counts for awards explains the difference.
