[Elecraft] Old SWL QSL cards

[Dan KB6NU]

Cool! I still have a bunch of SWL cards from the late 60s. I'll have  
to scan some of mine and post them.

For a long time after getting my ham ticket, and cutting back on  
SWLing, I'd get New Year's cards from Radio Havana. They were very  
funny. The one I remember best had as the front of the card a  
caricature of Castro with a long beard that stretched to the ground.  
You lifted the beard to read the message, "Happy New Year from Havana!"

73!
