The two QSL cards (from stations whose call signs spell words) in this post are both very cool. I decided to go with W0ZAP’s card first because it’s such a nice, cheery photo on a cold, snowy day here in Ann Arbor.
The second card is from Ron, K3SEW. I already have a card from Ron, but this card is much cooler. I’m going to guess that Ron, at one point, worked for a power company. My father in law worked for Detroit Edison, and when I showed this card to my wife, Silvia, she exclaimed, “That’s Reddy Kilowatt!”
Ashton B. Collins, Sr., of the Alabama Power Company created Reddy Kilowatt in 1926, and the image was licensed to power companies across the United States to represent electricity as a safe and useful utility. Reddy has a lightbulb for a nose, wall outlets for ears and a torso and limbs made of lightning bolts. At one time, more than 200 different companies used Reddy as their company mascot.
I think this is a great QSL card.
