1981 Postcard Ham Radio QSL Card from Moscow with Hand Drawn Artwork of Polar Bear

QSO Operator UA9YBR UA0-139-22
 

Amateur Radio Operator signed simply Victor

Sent from Cape Schmidt. Moscow  
A bit of FYI: Cape Schmidt is a headland in the Chukchi Sea, part of Iultinsky District of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, Russian Federation.  

Cape Schmidt sits at the northeastern most corner of Siberia, a place that is by definition remote. But even by that measure, this former Soviet  airbase is particularly desolate, a place so devoid of light and color. 

The Soviets built the base at Cape Schmidt in 1954. It was all but abandoned with the end of the Cold War, and largely forgotten after a particularly brutal winter forced the evacuation of more than 1,000 people from the region in 1998. The base now serves as an airport for the nearby community of Cape Schmidt.
