They've also got a thing for that young lady with the short dress and high
heels sitting in front of the radios in their showroom. Her photograph has
been in every single catalog I've received (for years). Universal says
they've been in business since 1942 and I have to wonder at this point if
that same photograph has been in the catalog throughout all that time.
Indeed, that "young woman" could be 70-80 years old today. However, the
dress, hair style, and style of high heels, suggests the picture was taken
in the 70's, which means she may only be 40-50 years old. :-)

Universal is a couple miles from my home. I've bought small items
from them, but have never ordered by mail any radio, so did not
comment on topic. But as far as the slender blond with the high heels
goes, I've seen her there and she's one of the hottest ladies in
amateur radio, but I don't think she has a license. She's probably in
her 40's.

That would be Barb Osterman... She is KC8VWI

Ham Radio sure is busting out all over!

What is the Djibouti card on your site?

It's a QSL from Radio Djibouti.

I was fortunate (or was it unfortunate) enough to visit Djibouti in 1979. Quite the experience.
No, I didn't hear them on SW then, but I did hear them on MW.
