QSL Cards from Belgium / Netherlands (1975–1995)
A collection of QSL radio cards from Belgium and Netherlands, produced and used between 1975 and 1995.
The term "QSL" comes from the radio Q code meaning "I acknowledge receipt" or "I confirm receipt." These cards typically include details of the contact such as call signs of both parties, date, time, frequency, mode of communication, and signal report. QSL cards often feature unique designs, including images related to radio, geography, or personal interests of the sender. They serve as a tangible record of radio contacts and are exchanged globally among amateur radio operators to confirm and commemorate their communications.
This collection features QSL cards that employ illustration, lettering, typography and photography to create distinctive regional calling cards. For designers, students, and scholars interested in design by discrete and local communities, this is an excellent resource.
