[ADXA] ADXA QSL Card

[HamOP]

  NOW my faulty mind remembers more. I had thought it was in perhaps 1970 but, after banging my head, it had to have been done after the AXDA regrouped in about February 1973 before my CE0Z trip and then moving to Hot Springs in Dec 1973.

 Bill, I am SORRY for the lax memory. YOU were the one who designed that card, free to us all, just like you also printed up some free cards for my K5QHS/CE0 trip which were so much more nicely done than my “work of art”. TU again for that. But, you did have to be a member to get you ‘free batch’. My main use was to send them via the ARRL QSL Buro system all over the world. 

I still have some QSL cards for the VK9 stations the ADXA was manager for. We would meet at Moritz WA5EFL’s home and go thru cards and logs every 4-5 weeks. That lasted only 18 months or so. Forgot who made up those cards, but think Moritz had it done, nice and thick and glossy.

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.
