[SFDXA] Fwd: 1954 ARRL QSL card

[Kai]

I was relaxing with a cup of coffee, and with the movie "The High and the 
Mighty" (Warner Bros., 1954) droning on in the background on the Retroplex 
channel. I noticed a scene of a radio operator on a ship (the Cristobal Trader) 
listening to a radio signal from an airplane. I took a couple of quick shots 
with my cell phone camera. Notice the W1AW QSL card about mid picture! The 
operator later relays emergency messages from the airplane to a shore station on 
his home built radio. The radio, shown in later scenes, has a nice open chassis 
with visible tubes, one with a plate feed on top. .

The radio operator, Gonzalez,  is identified as "Pedro Gonzalez-Gonzalez  
(Amateur Radio Operator, SS Cristobal Trader)" on Wikipedia.

Thought you'd be interested in the 60 year old QSL card from a then 40 year old 
ARRL!

I wonder if I can use this for "SWL/received W1AW" credit in the Centennial 
Celebration?
