Interesting (to me) QSL cards received
 
I understand why electronic QSLing is preferred by some, but I just like to see the paper.  I made my living with computers, use a computer log, operate PSK31 and I am not afraid of change, but give me an old fashion paper QSL card.

QSL cards also tell a story about people and are often a history lesson.

m/v Sea Cloud - Caribbean Sea

I like the QTH received when at sea, the latitude and longitude.  Notice my call as /4.  For a long time I used the /4 when signing my call.  I got away from doing that so the cards would not be prepared as this one.
