Not sure if this is the best place to post this but here goes.

I was at the dump the other day looking for "stuff" and saw this QSL card about to be ground under.  It is old for sure.

I see it is from San Francisco to Portland.  It was well before Portland's streets were re-organized. 

I see the transmitter lists "210" tubes at 180 volts

Some of the writing might be easier for and "old timer" to spot more.  Grin

Otherwise, I just thought it might be of general interest..... I couldn't let it go to the trash burner.... at least not yet.

73, Tom

There is an OM that is attempting to preserve old cards, etc. At least that is what he says.

The old QSL cards guy is a good bet. But he might just want a PDF.

Otherwise, send it to me.

An old classmate of mine found one of my QSL cards while going through some junk. He returned it this past October.
Ross would get on 3745KHz cw after school and chat while I was recovering from knee surgery.
