Gosh Lanny, I did not know u were that old!! HI  A QSL from 33 years ago…  I was back in the Comoroes in summer 1978 and was D68AF, staying with the PTT head guy in his home. Made it to /FH8 again, 3B8YY Mauritius, and ST2 and ST0 South Sudan that trip with quick stops in 5H and 5Z .

   I only needed D60 now on 6 meters and 60m but I am off those bands and won’t get D6 on all bands, sorry to say. ARRL does not allow 60m QSOs for DXCC anyway. I helped start the 60m DXCC award many years ago with two other hams in about 2015.  60m DXCC award now run by K3ZXL on 60m complicated band. HI 😊

   Searcy is a nice town in AR to live and close to getting almost anywhere you wanna go! HI  I covered a medical clinic there in your area many years ago when I worked for White River Rural Health out of Augusta, staying at night at my dad’s home in Heber Springs a couple of nights every 2 weeks or so. Get back to some good DXing tonight before you go to bed!! 😂

   73 for now

Well, I was the first D6 allowed to operate in 1976, coming from the President’s permission and prior to that was first /FH8 Mayotte approved by the authorities. If anyone needs a QSL, even if not a ham back then, I will sell a QSL with a CW and SSB QSO for only $1257.55 to help cover mailing costs etc etc…  hmmm 😊  Go get the D60!!
