This vintage QSL postcard from 1969 is a unique piece of amateur radio history, sent from Les Kalmus, call sign K2SHL, in West Nyack, New York. The front features the distinctive call sign and location against a vibrant yellow background. The reverse side meticulously details a confirmed radio contact (QSO) on April 23, 1969, at 2043 GMT on 14 mc, with WA9UVJ in Waukesha, Wisconsin. It provides fascinating insights into the equipment used, including a Ranger I transmitter at 75 watts and a Heath SB-301 receiver with a 20 M Dipole antenna, making it a valuable artifact for radio enthusiasts and collectors.The postcard bears two United States postage stamps: a 4-cent Abraham Lincoln stamp and a 1-cent Thomas Jefferson stamp, both indicative of its era. The handwritten details confirm communication between two dedicated ham radio operators, offering a tangible connection to the golden age of amateur radio. Published by W7IUZ Press in Eugene, Oregon, this card represents a slice of mid-20th-century communication culture and is a compelling addition to any collection focusing on historical technology, regional Americana, or the enduring legacy of ham radio.
