This is my QSL card, Ham operators usually confirm contacts by sending a QSL card with information about who the contact station was, the time, date, signal strength, power in watts used, and even the equipment used for sending and receiving the radio contact.
QSL is part of a long time standard in amateur radio to abbreviate various terms for quick understanding, it stems from the old days when CW (continuous wave) transmission was popular.
CW is another way of saying that Morse code was the method of signaling. QSL means to acknowledge receipt of contact, thus QSL card.
73 (The amateur radio term for all the best or cheers) a salutation usually given at the end of a transmission.
