RSA, around 1967.

Only one I ever bothered to get when I was using "the Driftmaster".

The first station that I heard was Kol Israel but the first QSL that I received
was from RSA in 1977.

Good DX!

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.

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.

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.

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.

I remember attending an ANARC Convention in Montreal in 1986 and later putting
in Ian's name for some kind of good-will-ambassador award from Canada.

He came up and remembered me at 1987 convention in Toronto.

If you see him, tell him I said hello, and that I have many fond memories of his
programs at RCI.
