[Boatanchors] Old-Timey QSL card for boatanchor era

[Al Parker]

Hi Eugene, et al,
    I always think it's kinda silly when people put the exact freq. in 
there.  He may think he knows it, but I don't really care much where I am 
exactly, as long as it's in the band.  Putting the mode and band (meters or 
freq. band) is sufficient for all applications, as far as I'm concerned.

Hi all,

I am designing my very first QSL card. My interests are in antique and
vintage (boatanchor) equipment so I am trying to make my QSL card look
antique or vintage.  Many of the old QSL cards only indicated the band
that the QSO took place (ie 20 meters). I was thinking of doing that on
my card.

Question to the group is...When you receive a QSL card, do you prefer to
see the frequency of the QSO (ie 14.080) or is it quite ok to just say
20 meters? Does the answer to this question depend at all on if the QSO
was during a contest?

Thanks,
Eugene
