[Hallicrafters] OT Icelandic Ham Assistance

[mac]

Something strange about Iceland.......

Back in the 70's when I was trying to collect the cards for a DXCC as  
DA1IN I had one TF contact and I just COULD NOT
get a card out of the guy.  Tried SASEs,  IRCs, and green stamps  
multiple times with no response.  Finally got one of those books of  
cheery QSL messages in 300 languages (book still available???) and  
laboriously copied several lines of greetings and pleadings in  
Icelandic on my card for a final try.  Got back his card verifying our  
contact this time with a LOT of hand written Icelandic on it.  Always  
wondered what he said (but maybe I don't want to know).....
