Many thanks to Radio Kilohertz for this great QSL that showed up in my snail mail this past week.


Thanks to Sander for this great QSL from RNW.


Another great map/picture compilation from Mike at Over 60 Degree Radio.  Always a treat to get one of his unique cards (and a nice old map of eastern Canada.)


Finally, Herman sent me this great card.  It seems pirate ladies are popular. ;-)
