How does an amateur QSL an SWL report?

摘要

I covered basic SWL QSLing last time. Several comments were received - mostly from licensed amateurs who wanted to know how to QSL an SWL report. The theme was one of wanting to encourage listeners by replying to SWL reports - even if they were not terribly useful - so that they continued their listening in the hope that one day they would decide to become a licensed radio amateur. For the purposes of explaining how to go about QSLing an SWL report, I shall assume that most licensed amateurs use 'sample' cards, ie use their own design for the front of the card, but use a standard design for the 'business' side. On this basis, you will probably have a layout featuring the standard six-box design which allows space for callsign worked, date, time, band, mode and RST report. Marginal changes are required if you are QSLing an SWL report.
