Re: [IRCA] QSL replies
My best QSL ever came in March 1989 for a Feb. 27th wee-hours reception of KOMO. Not only was it one of my most-distant QSLs ever (just under 1400 miles from rural Oakland, Iowa), but it was the hands-down winner for most colorful, with a gorgeous painting of (I think) Puget Sound on the front.

Brian,
Yes, so mny wonderful memories. Living on the Oregon Coast, I have heard
lots of Australians/New Zealanders through the years. I remember back in
the Summer of 1979, I went to the post office and there were 7 QSLs, 4
from Australia and 3 from New Zealand! All in one day. In the bunch was
a beautiful full color card from 2GB Sydney. A picture of the sunset
with big Gold letters of "2GB" on the front. Ah...The good ol' days.
Ernie Cooper of MA and I were corresponding quite often on QSLing as
we loved it as much as I did at the time.
73,
