NICE IDEA!
All QSL's from here on in for WABV will be issues on standards 2-ply!

Saul,
Heard them in late '70s. They were CKWS at that time. They and CFTJ were
the only Canadians I could get on that frequency.

Saul,
Paul's report of reception of Kingston jogged my memory and I checked my logs.
I heard CKWS-960 on 11/23/81 at 0123 CST from Galva, Iowa (while vacationing
there). They were doing regular
programming. Never heard from California, unfortunately.

We will issue QSLs, but I am not yet 100 percent sure who will handle the
reports. Either the station, or me, or both of us. Regardless, we will

QSL is a radio broadcasting and communication code message meaning I
verify your reception. QSL cards and letters are a written manifestation of
that verification. E-QSLs are just another form of verification. Even hams
have embraced electronic QSLing - over 150 million QSOs have been submitted

Don't settle for imitations. Last I checked, the term
QSL is a historical ham radio term, and is still defined as a
card. [

I should give some background as far as QSLs and CFFX are concerned. The
station is doing us a favour. The station had received an e-mail from
someone else, and the engineer was sitting on it, when I contacted him, by
chance, by telephone. The engineer was extremely friendly, and explained
were for DX Tests (KEVA,
KRSN, KCKN). They're getting pretty rare.
Good luck.

I realize that some folks like collecting QSL cards from AM BC

it really matter in what form it is? I mean, there

I do care. Most QSLers do. We would love to have that QSL card or letter
rather than a ppc. But in this day, we have to take what we can get. It
is no longer the 1960s or 70s, or even the 80s.

I cannot complain with 39 replies in 07. I used to a 100 or more a year
