I saw that another listener in Virginia got his on Saturday, but as it's a
holiday here and no mail delivery today I figure that I might get one tomorrow.

Will be checking in Hobe Sound, FL for that special QSL this week.
Also, I am adding a "new" radio this week, an HQ-145x.

I too received my 85th anniversary QSL card.
My last QSL from Radio Prague had a schedule and
the letter opener thing enclosed, so this time I was
thrilled when I found ... a sponge.

lol, yes a sponge... dry and smashed flat to about
1/8th inch thick... one side has the Radio Praha logo
and "Come ride the airwaves" in many languages.
The other side says I will have the perfect sponge if I place
it in water. I've put it with my other souvenirs from SW
stations.

Your comment about waiting on the Radio Jordan QSL brought back an old
memory for me. Back in the 1980's when I finally managed to pry a QSL
out of them, the route I finally took was writing a cover letter to
King Hussein who was an amateur radio operator. Evidentally that
tactic worked because I promptly received a QSL from the station in
about a month or so. Whether he was instrumental in that or not, I'd
like to think so, hi hi.

Koikus, thanks for the anecdote. Well, I can't write to the King
since he passed away in 1999. I have to keep trying I guess...........

I sent one report back in 1988, received one QSL.

Your luck may vary.

My interesting experience was that I talked to King Hussein on the radio. At the
time he was talking to another amateur in Kenya on 15 meters. I had no idea who
he was at the time but I just wanted to see if I could be heard in Kenya (I was
using CW, the only mode I could use at the time, and was crystal controlled). So
I broke into their QSO, and both came back to me.

Unfortunately, I never attempted to QSL either one of them :-(

This was in the 70-72 time frame.

When King Hussein passed away I sent my condolences via an on-line guestbook
somewhere, can't recall, and related the story about talking to him on the
radio. About 2 months later, I received a very nice personal letter from HRH
Princess Ghida Talal, who was at least at that time, the Director of the
International Press Office.
