In today’s mail, an envelope with 2 QSL cards from the K5D DXpedition arrived. There were 2 cards to cover the various K5D contacts I made. The difference between the 2 cards is one is a more standard QSL card and one is 2-card fold-out with the fold-out card having a picture of the entire K5D team, other pictures, info on the island and a short narrative on the DXpedition. You can see pictures of the cards at SQ8X’s web site as he designed the QSL cards. The back of the card isn’t show on that site and it contains logos of key sponsors and supporters as well as the names of many hams which much donated $100 or more I think to the DXpedition.

I requested the QSL cards on the K5D site after the DXpedition ended. Their Online QSL Request System is hooked up to paypal and for $5 or more (I donated $10), that was all you needed to do. I felt the donation was well deserved and I was glad to contribute. I’m glad to add these terrific QSL cards to my collection.
