[Dx-qsl] Received: UG6GAE from 1982

[Vladimir Sidarau]

It looks like EK4AA managed to source a cheap stock of postcards with 
cancelled stamps and then used the postcards as QSL cards.
Post cards with cancelled stamps, just like cancelled stamps are usual items 
manufactured for sale to collectors.
