I have been trying to find a good template of a QSL Log page, that I could print out to make it easier to keep track of logging the stations that I pick up on shortwave. I know that there are plenty of good computer programs that handle this, but 1) my receiver is not near my computer, so I have to use pen and paper, 2) one of the reasons I am playing around with shortwave is to get away from my computer.
After much searching on google, I wasn't able to find any templates that I cared for (in fact, I only found one with some help from rec.radio.shortwave). I did find one brand of log books for sale, but didn't feel like waiting for them to get delivered. So, I just ended up making my own, which I can print double sided and put in a three ring binder.
I am posting them here in case anyone else has a use for them.

THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT AND GREAT TEMPLATES.
I am with the WSWLR, WORLDWIDE SHORTWAVE LISTENER REGISTRY, a non-profit group devoted to expanding SWL as a hobby to young people and eventually bringing them into Ham Radio.
The idea is to increase the kids interest in science and engineering by presenting Science While Listening, SWL = SWL. Kids love music and gadgets, by putting a shortwave radio in their hands, and showing them how to listen to music and more from around the world, some will develop a passion for SWL and Ham radio that requires science. We plan to offer SWL Call Letters and an incoming and outgoing QSL bureau. We don't want to compete with anyone and we certainly don't want to step on any toes. I know that SWARL issues SWL call signs but I have found that very few SWLs or HAMs know about them. I would appreciate your ideas on our project and particularly the issue of issuing and registering SWL Call Letters.
I hope to hear back from you.
Thanks
