[ADXA] Morroco QSL Card

[EJ Jones]

Thanks for BV2A story.  I’ll have to see if I can find that QSL.  It was in the dark ages before computerized records obviously.

I like the old paper QSLs.  The eastern block cold war QSL’s are  interesting to look at now.

There is an industry selling old QSL’s on EBay.  Prices are crazy on some of them

Up early today.  Nice openings into Asia on 160/80 at sunrise.  10 meters is picking up.  Lot of Europeans and African stations in morning

Best

I love LoTW simply because it affords a very quick confirmation (without QSL card expense) and also provides a very quick and effortless DXCC submission. What I really miss, and was reminded of this a few days ago while searching through some old cards, is seeing the QSL card designs from Africa, Middle East and Asia. Some enchanting cards, to say the least, of distant lands.

Sadly, today's young folks don't seem to care about that. I remember K5UR relating his presentation to a high school group a few years ago about amateur radio and he had some really neat QSL cards displayed. Their interest in them was zero!

When they can watch live color images from Mars these days that makes a remote broadcast from the other side of the world old and, as my youngest granddaughter and her friends say "BORING!". It still gets me all excited, though, and I still love seeing them! Thanks for sharing, Scot.

p.s. K5EJ - other day I was looking through some older QSL cards IARU had on displayed and I saw your QSL in the group for a contact with BV2A back in 1988 or 1989. I need to look that up as I may have been the op. When I was making runs back and forth over there during that time Tim would come over and meet me at the station downtown Taipei, not too far from my hotel, and let me operate.

Nice QSL and what looks like a rare prefix Scott.  Pretty quick turnaround on the card during COVID mail delays.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

Received a card for 5E1EC (commemorative call for CN8EC) today for a FT4 contact on 20m from the end of October via a Russian QSL manager.

Still after Western Sahara and Mali that have been showing up recently, but I'm limited to 40m at the moment.

73,
