Well, here's a little surprise...


After I received my February QSL on March 3 from R. Prague in only ten
days, I shot them another message quickly to thank them for their
rapid response, and to give them just a brief "attaboy" for their
excellent signal on that day at about 0227z on 7355 kHz. *I don't
think I included any program details at all, just a report of a good
signal.


So here comes another QSL, also in very short order, for that
incredibly brief report. *This one has a photo of Czech Poet Karel
Hynek Macha.


It pays to be nice, and R. Prague is very generous with it's QSLs :-)
Now, let's not take advantage, OK?


I just had to go dig out my first Radio Prague QSL, for reception on August 3,
1967 on 17840 at 0100.

Cool! Back in the good old, bad old Cold War days :-) Remember the
way they used to sign on in choppy slow English with that stuffy-
sounding lady, "This - is - Ray-dee-oh Pra-a-a-a-gue" and then to
invite letters at transmission end she'd give the address in sing-
songy slow motion, except for the last word which she'd say at high
speed, "Czechoslovakia!" How essentially Communist! :-D
