W8DFL QSL Cards - 5/9/2011
Today is right around the half-way point in this grand adventure around the globe on the airwaves of the past... I hope you're not too bored yet! :-)While cataloging the cards today, which came mainly from Sweden, I happened on one from Uppsala:
I knew that sounded familiar... Then I remembered The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Parma City... ;-) Stop and just read the card. Completely throwing I1CGK under the bus! Talk about dissing the dude.I looked it up and here's the card from the previous post:
From the same day too! This really just makes me laugh out loud! LOL for real!The last one today is from a DXpedition in 1960:
I just dig the DXpeditions! This one activated the Coco's Island entity. Even if it didn't say DX-pedition on the card you can tell simply by looking at the printed "April ___ 1960" date. There's no way you'd be doing that if you didn't send out a ton of just those -- and the only way you'd be doing that is if you were working the pileup that you caused by being the rare one!The last one is an odd one:
This is the first amateur radio call that doesn't have a number in it. "PZ" is a valid prefix for Suriname... and the card has a "1" in it in the address and the "I" doesn't look like that at all. I tried to look it up and got nowhere... anyone have a clue about this one?[smugmug url="http://vec.smugmug.com/hack/feed.mg?Type=gallery&Data=16982903_crXpfq&format=rss200" imagecount="100" start="1" num="100" thumbsize="Th" link="lightbox" captions="false" sort="true" window="true" smugmug="true" size="L"]
