Remember this jingle?

"Pepsi Cola hits the spot,
12 full ounces, that's a lot,
twice as much for a nickel, too,
Pepsi Cola is the drink for you."

Looks as if the 100000watts site charges a fee. 73 Mac N8TT


it used to be free... ah well a Coke used to be a dime

Dear Butch and Cecil;
It is good to get confirmation of such events from long ago.
Somehow, I also associate the year that it happened as being the year
when a postal card went from one cent to two cents. The new postal card
had a red square "stamp."
Anyone remember what year that would have been?
Oh. Even then, I was keen on antennas and radio. 73 Mac N8TT

The year Ben Franklin was postmaster?

Possibly.
However, it seems that from about 1873 'till January 1, 1952 the rate
was one cent. 73 Mac N8TT

Hi Mac,

It must've been quite an expense initially, later a bargain.

Let's see, all within reach I have some QSL cards from the mid 60's.
One from WLW at 4 cents, WCBS for a nickel, One from K7UGA also a
nickel and one from K4LIB, one from CBC for 3 cents Canadian, and a
post card with several cancellations marked Hamburg, Innsbruck, and
New York for One Cent (cancellations 1887) with an extra One Cent
stamp (for international?).

K7UGA would be livid with the crop of candy-ass, pansy republicans
that inhabit the hill these days.

I recall that postcards had "just gone up" to 2 cents when I started
kindegarten in 1954. Same time frame that Ohio started their temporary
sales tax of 1%, which is up to 8% now but still "temporary."

It'll be enough that the voters that will
show up at the polls in November are livid.

Worked Berry Goldwater and Art Collins aboard Arts boat the SUNDANCE in the
60's while operating maritime mobile in the Pacific.

They said if I voted for Goldwater there would be 100,000 troops in Viet
Nam. I did and sure enough there were.
