It’s nice to have friends

January 20, 2022 By Dan KB6NU Leave a Comment

I got this card in the mail a couple of days ago. Bob is actually a high-school (and college) friend who I’ve kept in touch with over the years. It’s nice to have friends like Bob. I sent Bob one of my QSL cards noting that I owe a beer or a coffee next time that I get to see him in person.


One takeaway from this is that it’s OK to let people know you’re a ham. You never know when they’ll send you cool things like these stamps or get interested in the hobby themselves.
