[ADXA] ADXA QSL Card

[Bill Priakos]

When I was president back in the 70’s, someone asked that if we could have ADXA QSL cards.  Being in the marketing and advertising biz, I had a local artist design them AND the ADSA logo that has the state within the “D”…cost us nothing and most members got some.  Like San, I still have some.  Spread the club all over the world, hi!

Thanks info San. Yes Jim was a super nice guy. I visited his station a few times. Nice Collins S Line and as I recall he had a quad antenna. I heard my first Antarctica station sitting in his shack. I believe it may have been KC4USA back then, don't completely recall. Was probably around 1973 to 1975 time frame.

That WAS a sanctioned QSL and I myself ordered 200 and still have some up in the attic somewhere. Forgot who did them. But they were to be mass produced and a little thinner than usual to save costs. W5IRG was a good friend from Hazen. I think we all who ordered had to put in our order at the same time to help printer setup costs.

So, Jim was a member way back when. This would have been in the late 60s or very early 1970. He attended my talk on KS4 Swan Island in NLR in 1970 and was a close friend of Ed Moory in DeWitt who sold mostly Collins for decades. IRG was not that active and mainly a big farmer at the time, owning about 2000 acres of farmland all around Hazen.

See attached.

Do any of you long term ADXA folks recall if this was an ADXA
"sanctioned" QSL card that was available or did Jim, W5IRG, just have
the logo on his card??

I cannot remember, other than he had ADXA on his QSL card.
