QSL Card & Ham Radio Patch Making

Join us for a hands-on session where we’ll explore the art and utility of QSL cards—the traditional way amateur radio operators confirm contacts around the world. In this workshop, you’ll learn the essential requirements for creating a valid QSL card, including layout, key information, and design standards. We’ll also discuss eQSL file formats for digital confirmations.

Participants will have the chance to design their own QSL cards, print sample copies to share, and walk away with a ready-to-use design.

In addition, we’ll dive into making CNC embroidered patches. Each attendee will have the opportunity to learn how create a personalized patch with their call sign—a perfect addition to your shack, field gear, or jacket.

What you’ll learn:

• QSL card standards and design essentials
• How to prepare and exchange eQSLs
• Basic design tools for creating your own cards
• Introduction to CNC embroidery

Whether you’re new to amateur radio or an experienced operator looking to add a personal touch to your station, this workshop combines tradition and creativity for a fun, practical project.
