Default Do any of you non-hams have SWL QSLs that you share?

Yes, SWL QSLs were HUGE in the 1950s and 1960s.

Popular Electronics and Electronics Illustrated even assigned "call letters"
to SWLs which they
used on very attractive cards.

I still use mine occasionally and even though I am a ham I still enjoy
sending out SWL cards. Stations
seem to like getting them too.

Do a search on the Internet for "WPE" and you'll probably see a lot of the
cards we used to
send around.


That's great Clive - maybe I'll have a batch made and give 'em a
try...
