[Boatanchors] Old-Timey QSL card for boatanchor era

[Jim Brannigan]

Big mistake......

On a IBM PC I wrote a program to track DXCC in dBase...
That worked for a few years...
I also started to use CT (on a dual drive PC) for contesting.....
graduated to a WIN-app send CW from the keyboard...
More changes...more changes....won a few ARRL DX contests with the computer 
and S-line on CW and went "modern"

upgraded the radio and went full computer control.........what a "rush"

Found LOTW....uploaded 12,000 QSO's and got many QSL hits......


Try it you might like it...
