Please, even if you work one station in a contest, we encourage you to submit your logs and be recognized as an Idaho Contester

 regardless of the score,  Everyone operating a contest is to be congratulated ..  Keep up the good work..
Also, I can't report what I don't know about, please report any contest activity from your station to the webmaster

Yes, as Jeeves says,  oversized cards are hard to file !

Although any qsl is nice,  the standard Post Card size
of  3.5 x 5.5 inches is the best.  When you have shoe boxes
full of cards, you'll know why  "one size" is better. Most Hams
save their cards forever, sometimes the big ones get pushed to
one side just because they don't fit into the scheme of things. 

what do you need  on your card.
your call, your name and address including county, Grid Square.
the words "this confirms two way radio contact with" or confirming QSO with

a place for his call letters, the date, time, band and mode, and RST.
Below is a card that has all you need,  if you google QSL card printers
you'll probably get dozens of places making cards,
