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'.
