Thanks for the info Darin. Yes 72dpi explains it. I agree with your suggestion to increase the dpi on the uploaded file and then let the user decide file size to download. A few hams are displaying there qsl images in digital picture frames. I think thats a great idea and greater dpi would look better in that application too.

BTW I am a new op. Been licesensed for less than a year. I like the "personal stamp" that comes from a QSL card that I receive from a station I have worked. I send paper with SASE and have a nearly perfect return rate. I keep my cards in photo books and enjoy showing them to non-ham friends and family. So I'd love to see the e-qsls looking sharp next to the old school paper ones. I can't leave the e-qsls out of my collection because I have already received some that are great original ideas.

Hi Guy,

Thanks for the reply. Yes I figured a e-qsl in any form coming out is only going to be as good as the file that first went in. Looking through the e-qsls that I have I can see differences in photos. Some are very sharp and some are not. The qso data font is the same on all of them of course.

I don't mean to sound picky but my business is graphic arts. I am an industrial screen printer. I have and still am learning lots about digital imaging as it has completely revolutionized how we do things in the graphics industry. So by all means I am not complaining about e-qsl especially since I use the service for free. I just have to echo the comments from Jay Horman KA3JLW's earlier post that I hope improving the resolution is somthing being considered for the future. It would help persuade me to upgrade my membership too.

Is the resolution of a qsl image the same if I order an e-qsl printed and shipped for $1 on card stock versus just printing it out on my own printer and paper? To me it would be worth the money if the card would be a sharper high res version and not the blocky low res version I get printing them myself. I have searched the sight and forum and can't find an answer. I love the ease of using e-qsl but this resolution issue bothers me.

Thanks
