[Boatanchors] Old-Timey QSL card for boatanchor era

[Jim Brannigan]

I think it comes under the heading of how much space is available on the 
card.........and did you write the exact frequency in the log.....

My logging program (Logic) prints labels with the frequency as read from the 
radio.  If I forget to enter the frequency from a B/A in the log it prints 
the band....

Bottom line.....it does not matter.....
