There is no substitute for opening an envelope and seeing a nice new QSL card or verification letter. The QSL cards made for KRSN 1490 look terrific. I'm happy to have one in my collection. Many thanks to the Mr. Westfall and the staff at KRSN for the bumper stickers etc...that they sent to Billings for our next radio club convention. The 50th anniversary is going to be a blast. ---Mike Sanburn
