[TVARC] QSL from I0JX

[K2PS Pete Stafford]

Neat!

Reminds me of a QSL I received a long time ago, from some ham from the USSR.
On probably one of the cheap stock QSLs available to them at the time, was
depicted one A.S. Popov, "Inventor of radio."  Who knew?

I'm not one to mention receiving a QSL from ordinary DX like Italy. 
I0JX's card shows him when he was first licensed in 1964 and his shack
today.  The frame from 1964 shows his station consisting of an ART-13
transmitter and a BC-348 receiver.  Many of us old timers probably cut
our teeth on one of these WW II surplus radios.  When he is in the US,
I0JX has a reciprocal callsign of K4ZVZ.

So what is the big deal, you ask?  The back of his card has old dated
photo of a pilot standing next to a very famous WW II aircraft.  The
pilot is the original holder of K4ZVZ, General Paul W. Tibbets.  Yep, he
is the guy who flew the Enola Gay - the aircraft in the photo.
