Hi Andy You may like to review https://www.amateurradio.com.au/qslcards for size and weight restrictions for QSL cards. At 300 gsm your cards could be twice as heavy as 'normal cards' and may not be readily accepted by outward QSL bureaux. Cards that are twice as heavy means only half as many can b...

Obvious stuff, but in time have a webpage showing examples of what you have done, particularly examples of "stock" standard designs like the W4MPY, so people can see what's on offer, how to place an order etc. Yeah i plan to do that this is just a new process at the moment i have only jus...
