Amateur radio operators exchange QSL "postcards" to confirm two-way communications (QSO) between stations. A QSL card sent from one amateur radio operator to another contains details about the contact and the station. As a minimum, this includes the call sign of both stations participating in the communications, the time and date of the contact (usually specified in UTC/GMT), the frequency used, the mode of transmission used, and a signal report. The latter report is a two or three digit number that expresses the quality of the signals being received: RST for "Readability" (1-5), "Strength" (1-9), and "Tone" (1-9) of CW/Morse Code communications, RS for voice, and RSV for SSTV (V = "Video", 1-5). See here for more details. Note: "QSO" and "QSL" are two of the over standard 200 Q-code abbreviations that are used in Morse telegraphy. See here for a complete list of Q-codes.
