Go morning Jeff NT1K, My name is Barry Rimer WA2WAO, I’ve been printing QSL’s since 1962, yes I’ve been doing QSLs for over half a century, and a Ham for 54 years this year, first as “The WA2WAO Press” and a name change in 1971 to Corner Press, since I became a full serve printer, vs The WA2WAO Press that just did QSL’s. I’m updating my website, but you can see my current one at CornerPress.com. I have standard designs and I do custom work at no charge unless it get complicated or requires outside artwork.
I’d like to be included in your listing of QSL printers.
73’s & thank you, Barry WA2WAO
