QSOCardCreator
This program was developed to assist me in confirming my QSO contacts on amateur radio. It can interface with either the N3FJP Amateur Contact Log (ACL), Ham Radio Deluxe (HRD), or Log for Old Men (Log4OM) and automatically maintain a record of QSO confirmation emails. The application also allows for the import of standard ADIF files from other loggers, annotating in its database which contacts have received QSL cards through this program. Each ADIF import is appended to the application’s database. When the ADIF - Amateur Data Interchange Format Use ADI logging system is selected on the setup screen, two additional menu items are added to the file menu: one for importing and one for deleting all records in the application database. Deleting all records from the ADIF database should provide an alternative method for determining which contacts have already received emails. The application utilizes QRZ membership features to retrieve the email address of your contact for the purpose of sending an electronic copy of your QSL card.
If you possess a QRZ account with XML privileges, an email account, a Windows 64-bit computer, and desire to utilize the program, you may acquire it from my online store. Upon purchasing the application, you will receive an email containing a lifetime key that grants you access to one custom card created by me (refer to the card page). Additional custom cards can be created for a nominal fee. The image files are 1800x1200 JPGs, which are postcard-sized. A Photoshop template (PSD) is copied to the program’s installation directory for use if you have Photoshop, facilitating the creation of visually appealing cards. The program necessitates a QRZ account with XML capabilities to retrieve email addresses and operates optimally with either N3FJP (ACL), Ham Radio Deluxe (HRD), or Log4OM logging to monitor sent emails. ADIF files can also be utilized. The program is exclusively compatible with Windows 64-bit operating systems. If you fulfill the prerequisites, you may purchase the application by clicking the “Purchase QSOCardCreator Now” button on my website. Further information is available on my website, which is linked below. I generate the background image using a template I created in Photoshop.

"Dear Robert, Thank you for creating the special program for our club's five (5) stars Rhode Island Award program. It is unusual to find a company so willing to adapt to customer needs and produce quick and effective results. We will be sure to contact you when we need further custom software. Thank you.
“There is no question in my mind that the Robert J. Simoneau - N1ET "QSO Card Creator" program is meant to be used to send QSL cards via email, however I also use it to make & print QSL Cards that I send out by regular snail mail as well. Bob, you cover it all in a clear, concise, comprehensive manner. You have helped me immeasurably to advance my capabilities and there is no question that you are the gold standard in the online & snail mail QSL Card creation/sending arena. Thank you for all the work you have & continue to put into your QSO Card Creator program. Cheers & 73.
I think single sided e-mail QSL cards are the way of the future. As with all new programs, software problems will pop up from time to time. What counts is the promptness of the support you get to fix the program. Being a beta tester for this program, I have a unique view on how fast a problem is fixed once a it is found. I know for a fact that Robert has dropped working on other projects to get a bug in this program fixed fast. As for support, I would give him an “A+”. Over the last few months, I have watched as Robert received various user requests and has added feature after feature, all of which have made this program faster and easier to use. He has told me about many more enhancements which he is planning to add as time becomes available. This program would be a great buy at $200, but it is a super deal at $50.
