- 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.
