There is a long list of "Q-signals", used in place of common statements or phrases, that
originated during the period when most communication was in the form of Morse Code.
'QSL' means 'I confirm that I received your transmission'.
Many ham operators worldwide often exchange post cards, as 'hard copy' proof of
their meeting on the air. These cards are also referred to as 'QSL cards'.
They are asking if you acknowledge receipt or that they acknowledged receipt.
Impedance is not unique to ham radio and applies to all electronics. Impedance is a property of electrical circuits that can impede the current from flowing.
You may have a Ham radio antenna anywhere in the US, unless there are restrictions as to its placement, such as in a condo or apartment. If you meant a Ham radio transmitter, then you must have a Ham license to operate it.
The primary function of ham radio is to provide amateur radio personalities and opportunity to showcase their effervescent characteristics. Apparently, specific equipment is needed to produce quality sound and to prevent feedback.

The correct abbreviation for Queensland, Australia is QLD. QSL is a Q code for radio communication and radio broadcasting. It means "I am acknowledging receipt."
I believe you are referring to QSL or QSO cards- which mean, in Ham radio jargon- Quested Signal listened ( roughly) or Quested Signal Observed) for commericial stations these are printed postcards with the station"s call letters, for example- WCBS-FM and frequency allotment- in that case 101.1MGH ( FM) band. the radio stations, if you write them, will probably send you a verification card. this whole thing is a sub-hobby within the radio-listening ( not necessarily Ham or Two-Way hobby- and was very popular in the thirties. QSL and QSO cards are more-or-less interchangeable terms. Most of the old-time (Q) ciphers are no longer used.(these were both verbal and in CW code form.).
It is used in ham radio terms as a term for the wife of the ham operator.

You are thinking of a "hamlet" which does mean a small village. But the word "ham" often refers to a food that comes from a pig; or it can be a slang word that means a person who is a show-off and acts in a conceited way; or it can refer to somebody who is involved in the hobby of amateur radio-- such a person is called a "ham radio operator."
Amateur radio, often called ham radio, is both a hobby and a service in which participants, called "hams," use various types of radio communications equipment to communicate with other radio amateurs for public service, recreation and self-training. But we still don't know the origin of the word HAM.
