Re: [IRCA] DXer Visits My QTH

["Chuck Hutton" <charlesh3@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Maria:

The CPRV is a well-established organization that takes QSL collections and
archives them in the University of Maryland library.

Advantage: they will be preserved.
Disadvantage: only visitors to the U of M library can see them. That's not
many.

Another option would be to see if the club is willing to take possession and
(hopefully) scan them so that they can be put on the web for all to enjoy. I
have not a clue if the club would take the bait.

Last option I can imagine: give them to a DX friend of Bob's and they might
get trotted out at conventions or get-togethers for a trip down memory lane.

I have 3 binders filled with QSL's that Bob collected over the years. 
The first one is dated Nov, 22, 1961, KOB Radio
of Albuquerque, New Mexico and the last one dated Dec. 13, 2006 received 
electronically from KERR 750khz AM 
for a "Big Sky DX" test event.

I also found snail mail correspondence dated December 1993 initiated by 
Bob as well as Web information dated
Sept. 15, 2005 for an organization called The Committee to Perserve 
Radio Verifications.  I don't know what Bob's
ultimate plans were but any input regarding his QSL's would be 
appreciated.
