The first station that I heard was Kol Israel but the first QSL that I received
was from RSA in 1977. Good DX! John Barnard Brian Hill wrote: What was your first QSL ? Mine was HCJB Bonair. I think the year was 1975 or 1976. -- 73 and good DXing.

My first QSL card was from Radio Moscow along with a lot of
propaganda material . 1963. My listening post was in Brooklyn, N.Y, and my receiver a Hallicrafters S-38B thatI bought on Courtlandt Street (Radio Row) in Manhatten. I still have the reciever but rarely use it. Chaz Marylabd, near the Chesapeake |
"Brian Hill" wrote in message ... What was your first QSL ? Mine was HCJB Bonair. I think the year was 1975 or 1976. Radio Netherlands from Bonaire in 1970. My favorite card is from WINB in Red Lion, Pennsylvania. The card itself isn't much. It's small, with a line drawings of a globe and a microphone, the words World InterNational Broadcasters and is rubber stamped with the Rev. John Norris' signiture. WINB was the first of the now common evangalical political shortwave stations. Rev. Norris lost an important free speech case in the Supreme Court dealing with another of his radio stations. The wording of that decision, however, eventually became one of the important elements in the downfall of the FCC's Fairness Doctrine. The card is a sort of periphial connection to one of the names responsible for the current political free speech radio environment here in the US. I stopped QSLing around 1972. My only regret is never having sent a reception report to Alan Maxwell. Frank Dresser |
My first was from Radio Canada International in winter 1973 (January),
heard on a - gulp - Radio Shack 10-in-1 electronics kit crystal radio! Charles Gursky and Lynn Henderson doing their Sunday morning Listener's Corner mailbag-style show. 20-foot wire antenna wrapped around my bedroom, no ground at all. FWIW, Deutsche Welle and another station whose identity is lost to me, but may have been France (had an unusual harpsichord IS), also came in with much power in my old Massachusetts home. Did not QSL those guys until I got my Astronaut-8 and HQ-100 a year or so later, when I went bananas. Bruce Jensen ************ John Barnard wrote in message ...

Radio Canada was "pleased to verify your report on the reception of C.B.C.
International Service" broadcast of May 24, 1969, on 21.595 mhz @ 1834 G.M.T. "Your report has been found to be correct. Thank you and best wishes from Canada". Basil "Pip" Duke's rubber-stamped signiature is faded, but still readable. Receiver was a Realistic DX-120, a Xmas gift from the folks. That QSL led to membership in Radio Canada's Shortwave Club as member # 10,279. |
