QSL Card Designer

Tools → QSL Card Designer… turns a few photos into a polished eQSL card.

Design flow

  1. Pick 16 photos (jpeg/png). OpsLog analyses them offline (detail / luminance grid) and proposes 3 designs — callsign placed in the calmest zone of the best photo, operator name, CQ/ITU zones + locator line, country flag, the other photos as bordered inserts, and a per-QSO confirmation box.
  2. Fine-tune: click an element to select, drag to move; change font / style preset (gel gold, gel silver, classic white outline, script, flat) and the per-preset knobs on the right. The QSO info box has opacity, background colour, corner radius, title and text-colour controls.
  3. Save the template. Photos are copied into data/qsl/templates/<id>/ (the originals can move afterwards). One template can be the default per profile.

Sending

Right-click a QSO → Send eQSL by e-mail. The card is rendered with that QSO's data, rasterised to a ≤ 800 KB JPEG, archived in data/qsl/outbox/, and sent via the configured SMTP account to the address from the QRZ/HamQTH lookup. On success the QSO is stamped EQSL_SENT=Y.

The e-mail subject/body templates live in the designer, with {CALL} {DATE} {BAND} {MODE} {MYCALL} variables.

Fonts & flags

Fonts: Archivo Black, Lilita One, Baloo 2, Oswald, Great Vibes, Allura (all OFL, embedded); Cooper Black is offered when MS Office installed it. Flags: flag-icons (MIT), embedded for the commonly-worked DXCC entities.
