QSL Card

One of the interesting sides of DXing as a hobby is collecting QSL cards (acknowledgement cards from the broadcaster) confirming the listener's reception report (sometimes called SINPO report-see next section). QSL means Acknowledge Receipt in Radio term. Usually a QSL card will have a picture on one side and the reception data on the other. Most of the broadcasters will use pictures and messages indicating their country's culture or technological life. In fact these cards are much valuable compared to postal stamps collection of which has already became an international hobby.
