I stopped at an estate sale yesterday and found a treasure trove of Ham radio QSL cards. (These cards are sent to and from amateur radio enthusiasts to confirm receipt of transmissions, often over great distances.) The aesthetic beauty and design of the older ones (especially those dating from the 1950s-1970s) won me over, so throwing down twenty bucks for hundreds of cards like these still seems like the right decision, even 24 hours later.

It's also safe to assume that NO ONE ELSE would've bought them and they'd have been chucked had I not wandered in off the street. I hope the radio gods are pleased with my offering.

@K3LOE I log to a self-hosted Wavelog instance, that then sends my QSL to LoTW, QRZ.com, ClubLog, and others, so I don't have to manually do it all:

What does the fediverse use for #QSL logging, if not LotW? I get more international QSOs confirmed on QRZ. I have a Club Log account but I have’t actively used it.

I was away from HF for 9 months and coming back to LotW is definitely a drag.

I picked up a used Bencher BY-2 off FB marketplace today. I think it was a good deal for $80. It cleaned up very nicely and has some great stories behind it. I bought it from the son of a silent key KL7LF, who had stations in Colorado, Fairbanks AK, and Johnston Island. His son gave me a few of his dad's #QSL cards as well.

Got another patriotic AI-generated #QSL card today! Callsign redacted, again. This time, no weaponry in the image. Much classier

Projet QSL : La Table citoyenne Littoral Est réclame une évaluation environnementale indépendante

Vendredi dernier, le gouvernement du Canada a officiellement désigné le Port de Québec comme terminal de conteneurs international. Cette désignation permettra à l’entreprise QSL de déposer son projet de terminal de conteneurs en eau profonde. Situé dans la baie de Beauport, à l’embouchure de la rivière Saint-Charles, le projet inquiète la Table citoyenne Littoral Est et d’autres conseils de quartier. Ceux-ci demandent un processus d’évaluation...

En date du 21 avril, on apprenait que le gouvernement désignerait officiellement le port de Québec comme terminal de conteneurs international, permettant ainsi à l’entreprise QSL de déposer son projet de terminal de conteneurs en eau profonde dans le secteur de la baie de Beauport. Une dizaine d’organisations citoyennes et de conseils de quartier demandent la tenue d’une enquête indépendante.

Le port de Québec s’invite au Jour de la Terre

Une centaine de manifestants étaient présents mardi dernier lors de la marche organisée par la Coalition régionale pour la justice climatique et sociale afin de souligner le Jour de la Terre. Une phrase résonnait pourtant parmi les murmures des manifestants : « As-tu vu la nouvelle de QSL ? ». En date du 21 avril, on apprenait que le gouvernement désignerait officiellement le port de...
