In the world of amateur radio, exchanging QSL cards is more than just confirming a contact — it’s a tradition, a way to connect with fellow hams across the globe, and in many ways, a badge of honor. But as with many things in life, technology is changing the way we do things. Today, we have two clear options when it comes to QSLing: the classic paper QSL card and the modern digital QSL system, like LoTW (Logbook of The World) or eQSL.

So, which is better?

Let’s take a look at both sides.

The Charm of Paper QSL Cards

Paper QSL cards are like postcards from the airwaves. Many of us still remember the joy of opening the mailbox and seeing a colorful QSL card from a rare DX contact. Some cards are beautifully designed, featuring landscapes, antennas, or even family photos. It’s something you can hold, frame, collect, and display.

Pros:

• Tangible and personal: You can hold it, display it, or flip through a binder of memories.
• More meaningful for many: Receiving a physical card can feel more special than an email.
• Great for awards (Traditional): Some award programs still require or prefer paper QSLs.
• Customizable design: You can showcase your shack, call sign, and personality.

Cons:

• Cost: Printing and mailing cards internationally isn’t cheap.
• Time: It can take weeks, months, or even years to get a card back.
• Storage: They take up space, and organizing them long-term can be a challenge.

The Power of Digital QSLs

With systems like ARRL’s LoTW or eQSL, confirming a contact can happen instantly. No envelopes, no postage, and no waiting for months. Just upload your log, and if the other operator logs the QSO too — voilà, it’s confirmed.

Pros:

• Speed: Instant or near-instant confirmations.
• Convenience: No printing, stamps, or physical mail required.
• Cost-effective: No postage fees, especially useful for frequent or international QSOs.
• Perfect for digital awards: LoTW and eQSL have streamlined paths to many popular awards.

Cons:

• Lacks physical appeal: No card to touch, display, or admire.
• Less personal: It can feel transactional — just a log match.
• Tech barriers: Some hams (especially older ops) may find it tricky to use or set up.
• Not universal: Not every ham uses LoTW or eQSL, so some contacts go unconfirmed.

So, Which Should You Use?

Honestly? Both.

There’s no reason you can’t embrace the speed and efficiency of digital QSLs and still send out a few cherished paper QSLs when the moment feels right, like a rare DX, a first contact with a new country, or a memorable ragchew.

For example, LoTW is fast, accepted by most major awards, and doesn’t cost a thing. But when you made contact with really special contact — maybe a rare island, physical QSL is still enjoyable.

Final Thoughts

At the end of the day, QSLing is about making connections. Whether you confirm your QSOs with a digital match on a server or with a glossy card in the mail, the important thing is that you’re keeping the tradition alive in your way.

Some hams love the smell of fresh QSL cards and the joy of a full binder. Others are all about speed, efficiency, and automation. And many of us sit somewhere in the middle.

Whatever your style — paper, digital, or both — the real magic is in making that contact across the miles, across the bands, and the world.

The post Digital vs. Paper QSL Cards: Which One Should You Choose? appeared on Hamradio.my - Amateur Radio, Tech Insights and Product Reviews by 9M2PJU.

In the analog days of amateur radio, confirming a QSO (contact) often meant waiting weeks — or even months — for a paper QSL card to arrive via postal mail. These cards, beautifully designed and personally meaningful, were — and still are — treasured by hams around the world. But with the rise of digital logging, there came a need for something faster, more secure, and scalable for the modern era.

Enter Logbook of The World (LoTW), a game-changing system developed by the ARRL (American Radio Relay League). LoTW enables licensed amateur radio operators to submit and match QSO records electronically, eliminating the need for physical QSL cards while still offering a trusted confirmation process.

At the heart of this system is TrustedQSL (TQSL) — the official software used to digitally sign and upload your contacts to LoTW. It ensures that:

• Your identity and callsign are verified via a certificate issued by ARRL.
• Your log files (usually in ADIF format) are cryptographically signed, proving their authenticity.
• Confirmations happen automatically when your logged QSOs match with others in the system.

How This Changed QSO Confirmations Forever

Before LoTW, confirming a DXCC or WAS award required collecting and organizing piles of paper cards, often at considerable cost and effort. Now, with LoTW:

• Confirmations can happen within minutes, not months.
• There’s no postage or mailing involved.
• It’s globally accessible, 24/7.
• It reduces errors, fraud, and loss compared to traditional QSL methods.
• Operators can easily track award progress with automated tools.

While paper QSLs still have sentimental and collectible value, LoTW has become the de facto standard for official QSO confirmation in contests, awards (like DXCC, WAS, and VUCC), and everyday operating.

In short, LoTW and TrustedQSL have brought amateur radio into the digital age, without compromising trust, authenticity, or the sense of connection that makes this hobby special.

For amateur radio operators who log their QSOs digitally, the ARRL Logbook of the World (LoTW) is an essential service. To upload your logs securely to LoTW, you need a tool that signs them using a valid certificate, and that’s where TrustedQSL (TQSL) comes in.

If you’re using Arch Linux or an Arch-based distro like Manjaro, EndeavourOS, or CachyOS, you won’t find TrustedQSL in the official repositories, but thanks to the Arch User Repository (AUR), installing it is straightforward.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to installing the latest development version of TrustedQSL using the trustedqsl-git AUR package.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have an AUR helper installed. The most common options are:

• yay
• paru

If you don’t have one yet, you can install yay with:

sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel git
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
cd yay
makepkg -si

Installing TrustedQSL from AUR

Now that your AUR helper is ready, you can install TrustedQSL:

paru -S trustedqsl-git

Or with yay:

yay -S trustedqsl-git

This package pulls the latest source code, compiles it, and installs it on your system.

Note: The -git suffix means this package builds the development version of TQSL from source.

Launching TQSL

Once installed, you can launch TrustedQSL from your application menu or by typing:

tqsl

The interface should feel familiar to those coming from Windows or macOS. You can now:

• Request or load your LoTW certificate
• Sign ADIF logs (e.g., from WSJT-X, Log4OM, CQRLOG, etc.)
• Upload signed logs directly to LoTW

Why Use trustedqsl-git?

Using trustedqsl-git has its benefits:

• You’re always running the latest version with the newest features and bug fixes.
• Great for testing upcoming features or contributing feedback upstream.
• Works well for those comfortable with the rolling-release nature of Arch.

However, keep in mind that development versions can occasionally introduce instability. If you prefer only stable releases, consider building from ARRL’s release tarballs.

Updating TQSL

Like any AUR package, updates trustedqsl-git won’t come via pacman -Syu. Instead, update it with your AUR helper:

paru -Syu

Or specifically:

paru -S trustedqsl-git

This will rebuild TQSL from the latest commit.

Final Thoughts

TrustedQSL is a crucial tool in the modern ham operator’s digital workflow, and it works beautifully on Arch-based systems with just a bit of help from the AUR. Whether you’re uploading FT8 contacts from WSJT-X or submitting your latest DXpedition logs, TQSL keeps your LoTW submissions valid and secure.

The post Upgrade Your Trusted QSL (TQSL) Now appeared on Hamradio.my - Amateur Radio, Tech Insights and Product Reviews by 9M2PJU.

Logbook of the World (LoTW) is a web-accessed database provided by the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) to implement a contact verification service among amateur radio operators. Using LoTW, radio amateurs (hams) can claim and verify contacts (QSOs) made with other amateurs, generally for claiming credit for operating awards, such as DXCC. This kind of verification formerly required exchange of paper QSL cards and submission to ARRL, a slow and somewhat expensive process. LoTW began operation in 2003.

The LoTW system emphasizes secure authentication using cryptographic key distribution. An amateur’s computer-based logbook, in ADIF or Cabrillo format, must be “signed” using a key obtained from ARRL. (Logbook data includes callsigns and locations of stations, contact time, frequency, and operating mode.) ARRL assigns such keys to amateurs who appear in the U.S. FCC licensing database or to non-US amateurs who provide alternate proof of identity.

Once a log file has been signed using ARRL’s “TrustedQSL” (or equivalent) program, it is uploaded to the ARRL server and entered in the database.

Log records in the LoTW database are automatically compared so that when a contact at a particular time, operating mode, and frequency band is claimed by both participating amateurs (who both must have submitted their logs), a “QSL” (confirmation) is declared for a later award claim, e.g., for contacts with all U.S. states or 100 different countries. The matching process is blind, meaning that none of the two stations can see pending confirmations for him before he uploads a matching record. The LoTW QSL is purely electronic; there is no paper confirmation.

A LoTW-registered amateur may log in to the LoTW website to view his or her logged QSOs and the verified QSL matches. When the amateur has a sufficient number of LoTW and/or traditional paper QSLs, he or she may apply for an ARRL award. As of January 2012, LoTW credit may be used for credit for awards issued by the ARRL and by CQ Magazine. The ARRL does not recognize other web-based QSL systems, such as eQSL, for awards credit.


So, which one do you prefer for QSO confirmation? paper QSL or lotw ?
