Sneak peek at a collection of QSL Cards. My grandfather was an amateur radio operator, obtaining his license in 1932 as a teen. He collected QSL* cards for the next 50 years. I thought I’d share some of them.
*From Wikipedia: QSL cards are a ham radio operator’s calling card and are frequently an expression of individual creativity — from a photo of the operator at his station to original artwork, images of the operator’s home town or surrounding countryside, etc.
