The letter explains how I am researching KZ5 Ham Operators.  Please take a moment and look at it and let me know if you are willing to help me out.  If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.

I know this sounds like an impossible task but I really do believe it can be done.  On average from 1960 to 1979 there were only about 150-200 operators.
