On Friday, I received a pack of QSLs from the bureau. The two most notable are from OO175B andn DF0HQ:
- OO175B. This card commemorates the 175th anniversary of the Belgian nation. The nicely-designed card shows roughly the Flemish-speaking area in the north and the French-speaking area in the south.
OO175B is a callsign used by the club station of the UBA, which, accoding to the card, is equivalent to our ARRL. One factoid really struck me. The UBA says that 95% of the licensed amateurs in Belgium belong to the UBA. As a point of reference, less than 25% of licensed amateurs here belong to the ARRL.
- DL0HQ. This is a card from the Ilmenau Contest Club. What struck me about this card is that the club members look so young. A similar card from a club here would look much older.
