Re: [IRCA] Home Display of QSL Letters & Cards

[Mike Hawkins <michael.d.hawkins@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just for reference (I emailed Don directly), I recommended scanning so that
he could doctor them back to nice condition, keep the originals and also be
able to share them if someone put together a web-based QSL collection.  That
way all the rare and old ones could be saved for posterity.
