I was surprised to find that KKXA has a card, so there are still some that do. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin Seaside OR KGED QSL Manager ___ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
Re: [IRCA] KGFW QSL
My first QSL was Radio Norway in English on medium wave, I was thrilled to hear them and to receive a beautiful card, I didn'tknow what a QSL card was before then. Radio Portugal soon followed, also in English on AM.

Re: [IRCA] KGFW QSL
Indeed, cards are a lot rarer than they used to be.I was very surprised to get three in one week earlier this month, from KKXA, KFQD, and WBBR. That hasn't happened in a very long time. 73, Nigel Pimblett Dunmore, Alberta On 27/12/2011 1:47 AM, Patrick Martin wrote: Yes, the good ol' days when a lot of station had QSL cards.
