Also included was the UPC bar code from a bubble gum wrapper. (Barbour-NH) I receieved a similar WJFK QSL last year for a broadcast I never heard. Based on what I have read in the DX/Pirate press, WJFK did not broadcast this year. I will gratefullyy acccept it as my current QSL response rate has slowed to a crawl. Maybe this is the new trend in QSLing, stations you don't hear that don't broadcast issue cards while the stations you log and write too don't reply!
