1977 Vintage Real Photo Picture Postcard QCWA QSL Card W3HAX
Full color Glossy front features an edge to edge color photograph of "Ed", an Amateur Radio Operator sitting in front of his Ham Radio Equipment in Reading, PA. (If you know this person, we would love to hear from you!)
His dog sleeps comfortably at his feet, and his collection of QSL cards on the wall. Although it looks like his "man space" might have been set up in a converted garage, it looks like he has more space than most I've seen.
You can tell a lot about "Ed" from the photo, and it was interesting to find all the little things in the photos, and identify all his equipment.
On the bottom right corner is the QCWA Membership logo, and his Call letters printed in the upper left corner.
On the back (address side) of the card, there is no "mail to" address, and according to the message he must have included this card with a letter, and the copy of the letter from "Heathkit" regarding fan noise, which W6HRA must have had an issue with at the time.
(We are still looking for the letter to learn more about "Ed"...(W6HRA my husband who passed away in 2009- saved "everything").
The usual exchange of amateur radio information, Dated Nov. 10, 1977 was clearly printed on an "old fashioned" typewriter, and hand signed by Ed.
The QSL Card itself has the normal Amateur Radio information pre-printed, by; (printed along the center spine; "PictureCards, Box 5471, Amarillo, TX, 79107 671-856
CONDITION: Very good condition, no fading or discoloring, no smudges or staining and no pin holes. Along the back (address side) right edge is a thin line, which looks like it might have been a cutting mark, and along the very bottom edge are faint marks which looks like @ signs ? (see enlarged photo)
