This first one isn’t a QSL from a station whose call spells a word. Heck, it isn’t even a QSL card at all, but I enjoyed it as much or more than a regular QSL.

Hi, Dan (KB6NU),
I enjoyed chatting with you on 30 meters on August 4, 2018. I operate a lot from out boat and often don’t get contacts on 30 meters, since the antenna (our backstay) is cut for 40 meters. That’s where the marine nets and emergency services are located. But, you got me at home with my 135-ft. dipole. I like a lot 30 meters.
Thanks for your patience Just starting CW.
The pic is from the street we lived [on] in Paris for 20 years.

I worked K9HE in a recent contest. As in a contest exchange, this card was sent without any personal comments.
At first, I wasn’t going to include this in my collection of QSLs from stations whose call signs spell words, as I don’t usually include the number as part of the word. After reading Matthew’s QRZ.Com page, I changed my mind. He writes, “I changed my call from K4ODA to K1RAQ to honor friends lost in Iraq (did 5 tours).”
WM3PEN is the station of the Holmesburg Amateur Radio Club. It was part of the 13 Colonies Special Event.
Here are the latest additions to my collection of QSL cards from stations whose call signs spell words. The KE8BED business card was given to me by Hugh at a recent hamfest. He’s the organizer for the Hazel Park ARC hamfest.
Normally, I post QSLs two at a time, but this one is interesting on two counts. First, it is obviously a callsign that spells a word: AM
Second, as it says on the card, it’s a submerged DXCC entity. That’s right, it’s mostly underwater!
The back reads,
Handing out QSOs from a practically submerged island makes for a true adventure when trying to keep your feet dry. Such was the Sepetember 2014 outing to this low-lying piece of solid granite, which provided us with an extraordinary DX experience.

Eri actually sent me three cards. She writes, “I just made QSL cards. Sorry for the delay!
This card notes, “The photo shows the railroad station in Yorktown Heights, NY on an early 20th century postcard. The station was a stop on the Putnam Division of the New York Central Railroad. The “Old Put,” as it was called by commuters, provided freight and passenger service from 1881 to 1958 between the Bronx and Putnam County. The station on the far right of the photo still stands and has been renovated to form a part of Railroad Park. The tracks were replaced by the North County Trailway for bikers and pedestrians, which now spans over 22 miles in Westchester County.”
Here are two more QSLs for my collection of QSL cards from stations whose callsigns spell words. The first, from W2RAN, is of the train station in Manchester, NH.
This one is a custom-printed card from WX4TW. How does that fit into your collection, you may ask? Well, Tom’s original call was KK4CUP, as noted just below his callsign on this card
