QSL (Query Station Location) cards are postcards sent by amateur radio operators to verify station reception. The cards provide a visual identity for radio operators and are popular collectibles. Garth Hamilton, operator of station VE3HO in Fonthill, Ontario creates map based QSL cards for other operators. Here are some examples:
Here's his own card.

Um, I don't get it. Does the radio operator send the cards to colleagues, in effect asking them to check his signal?
I like the variety of the cards! Don't tell National Geographic about VE3HO's card!
Yes I think that's the basic idea since it's sort of a one way communication otherwise. He also steals from MapArt but I won't tell them!
