[Boatanchors] FS: lot of 26 DX QSL Cards 1950s

[Rob Atkinson]

I have two QSLs I have pulled out and sort of keep out in the open
because they are somewhat special to me:  One is a 20 m. CW QSO with
W6AM/6 when Don was in his Eldorado on the Hollywood Freeway.  The
other is KH6IJ because back when I was just starting, KH6 was a big
deal for a guy with a T60 and random end fed wire practically laying
on the ground.  Nose was such a good op he could copy a VFO to a zip
cord out of the noise.
