Overview

What Is QSLShack?

QSLShack is a free platform for licensed amateur radio operators. It combines a logbook, a digital QSL card exchange, and a community in one place, and it shares one set of your data across all three.

Most operators run three or four separate applications to do this today. They log a contact in one, upload an ADIF file to another, re-key their station details into a third, and mail a paper card for the fourth. Every one of those steps can introduce an error, and every correction then has to be made in four places.

What Does "One Set Of Data" Mean?

Your name, your address, your grid square, your station details, and your callsigns are entered once, on your account. Every part of QSLShack that needs them reads them from there.

Add a second callsign and you do not create a second account. Correct your grid square and you correct it once. Send a QSO to QRZ or to Logbook of the World and it goes with the station details already on file. You do not re-key them into an upload form.

What Are The Main Pieces?

Your logbook. Log contacts by hand or import an ADIF file from the software you already use. A logbook belongs to one callsign, so operators holding several keep them separate without keeping several accounts.

QSL cards. Design a card once. When a contact is confirmed by both operators, the cards are exchanged automatically and appear on each operator's board. Nothing is printed and nothing is mailed.

Integrations. QSLShack syncs with your QRZ logbook and exchanges contacts and confirmations with ARRL's Logbook of the World. Both read the same logbook you already keep here.

The community. Posts, groups, clubs, events, direct messages, and a reputation system that recognizes the operators who help others.

What Does It Cost?

Nothing. QSLShack is free to licensed operators, permanently.
