1930s cards for my collection of QSLs from stations whose callsigns spell words

March 20, 2024 By Dan KB6NU 3 Comments

I recently posted about the collection of QSL cards from the 1930s and 1940s that my brother discovered at an estate sale that he conducted. I was very pleased to see that many of them had call signs that spelled words. I plan to add all of these to my collection
