INTRODUCTION
Whew! Now that we got the nonsense out of the way, I must say
This is my 1st try at the Shareware method. If it works, I may
add improvements to this program and work on some other HAM
related ideas I have. Being a ham myself I find that there is a
very limited amount of Software available. Hopefully with
encouragement this will change. The reason I developed this
program was because I did not like the idea of paying such high
prices for QSLCARDS and only having a limited selection. QSLCARDS
gives me an option to buy only a few cards to send out. so my
selection of cards is much greater. I have found that Name Badge
labels of the size 2 3/16" x 3 3/8' work very nicely. These can
be gotten from just about any stationary store.They are about $4
per hundred.
INSTRUCTIONS
When the program is loaded the 1st time you must create a config
file. (QSL.CFG) The 1st prompt at the screen asks for label
alignment. (Don't do this with your new labels do it on some old
tractor feed paper).
The Second prompt asks if you would like to create a config
file. Type Y (Yes) if this is your 1st time using QSLCARDS. If
not just hit return.
The 1st prompt you will come to asks for the date of the
contact. You can put this in any way you like. Such as 6-27-89
or 27th June 1989
The 2nd prompt is for the Frequency that the contact was made
on. Such as 14.205
The 3rd prompt calls for the mode of contact such as LSB, USB,
CW E.t.c.
The 4th prompt asks for the Callsign of the station worked.
The 5th asks for the time of contact in UTC time.
The 6th prompt asks for Signal strength. If you are using LSB,
USB or FM, You only need to give the R/S and not the R/S/T The T
is for the Tone in CW.
Next is the Name of the QSL contact
The 8th prompt asks how you would like the QSLCARD sent. The
selection is S/C/T If you type S the request for a QSLCARD is in
return for yours is typed and says you are trying for the W.A.S.
Award (Worked all states). If you type C, a request for a
QSLCARD is also typed but says that you are trying for the
W.A.C. Award (Worked all Countries). By typing a T the Line "TNX
for the contact" is typed on the label. This is if you have
already received a card from the contact.
After having answered all the prompts if you type a letter S (s)
the label will be typed. and prompts you for more. This is
asking if you want to continue with the same info such as Mode
frequency and date. If you say yes it will take you back to the
prompt for a new call sign. If you say no, it will take you to
the opening screen.
Registration
I have tried to be fair in the price and am asking $10 for the
program. Of course help as much as you can. If you feel it is
worth more great. (Inspiration makes for more programs) But in
any case I hope you enjoy the program. With a donation,
Diskmailer and postage, will be sent a copy without the register
me logo in the opening screen and the shareware screen will
magically disappear.
P.s. I can also be reached via the PC-Relay -Common- or
-Shareware- conferences.
