[NJARC] Short Wave Listening

[Al Klase]

Hi Joe,

I never got very far into the QSL scene, but I do have a Deutsche Welle 
sticker on one of my cabinets.  We may be able to free up a little wall 
space for some SWL QSL's in the short-wave display. Currently we don't 
explain SWL very well.

Yes, we'll have to produce some QSL cards once the ham station is set up 
at the Museum.  The we'll need a budget for postage.   We are licensed a 
W2RTM.  We'll call that a good start.

Al
