Special QSL's

The QSL card has always been an interesting facet of amateur radio.  I have saved so many and will share a few of the many.

As noted on the card this QSL is for a Moonbounce QSO of June 1964 on 2 meters.

My station was a cobbled up transmitter/receiver which was interfaced to the 60' dish at Johns Hopkins.  Now a 60' dish sounds like a big antenna but at 2 meters it only has moderate gain.  For whatever reason the antenna worked well on receive but not so good on transmit.  We just did not have that good of a signal.  But it was FUN!

 

 

 

 

 

After only being licensed for a bit more than a year and been invited to attend the Potomac Valley Radio Club was a huge thrill.  I had only operated in a few contests but was keenly interested.  After the 1953 ARRL Sweepstakes I received this card below.

You might know his address!
