Default Do any of you non-hams have SWL QSLs that you share?

Just curious - anyone have these that they use for "QSLs", like "I'll
trade ya?" *Am I even asking the right group this question?

I'm sure it's the right group. You mean like if I wanted a particular
QSL and I had one you didn't that we'd swap or make a color copy and
swap?


Well, not exactly -

More like, if you hear a ham and cannot communicate back with him via
RF, or hear a nice little SW station in the Amazon who you think might
like a personal touch when he hears from you - and you could present
your confirmation of hearing his signal using a colorful little card.
I know these things are printed and made available to SWLs; I just
have no idea whether anybody actually uses them or how successful they
are.

If I was a ham, you can bet I'd have a mess of QSLs to share with
contacts - but I don't think these ever caught on with SWLs the same
way. Just checking to see if I am wrong... :-)
