A special Altoids® tin cover for our members

I'm creating an Altoids® tin cover for the club.  ;)

What's the exact size of the blue area (in cm)?  ???

Clever idea! I would certainly be interested in buying a few...  ;)

What about a QSL card? See https://www.qrpclub.org/qrp/index.php?topic=478.msg1457

Can anyone verify that the size is correct?

Download, print, cut, test.

Hi Nicola, I think it will depend on the individual printer/programme etc.
I am using Firefox and I just went to "Print" and finished product was 7.7 x 4.4.
I am sure if I used "Paint" or some other program, I would be able to massage it to fit the lid dimensions.

Ok, Mike, the image size is 82,96 × 47,40 mm and GIMP (for example) reads correctly the size.

Can you try to print it with GIMP?
