Contact (amateur radio)
An amateur radio contact, more commonly referred to as simply a "contact", is an exchange of information between two
in person, between two ham radio operators, is humorously referred to as an "eyeball QSO". An All-Time New One (ATNO) is an operator's contact with an amateur station that they have never worked before on any band or mode.[2][3]
Many amateurs will send QSL Cards to stations they have worked.[4] Computer-based logging software, such as the American Radio Relay League's Logbook of the World, can also be used for logging contacts. Logs and QSL cards can be kept as keepsakes and used as proof of contacts for awards, such as Worked all States or the DX Century Club.[2]
