Günni's Holiday-QSL-Cards

The hobby "amateur radio" - on vacation carried out - helps to hold contact with the world from time to time. Often receives the selfbuilt "Triple leg", a vertical wire antenna for the 20m-band the advantage. Built up quick, uncomplicated and easily with the 10-m-high glass fiber-tower, quite a lot of non-European calls succeed with 100 W of broadcasting achievement in SSB from Kenwood-Transceiver TS-50S.

The QSL-card, a written confirmation of the effected radiocommunication, rounds the contact.


With this card amateurradio-contacts from home will be confirmed.

This QSL-card gets the more meaning if, besides, was broadcast by an island. In the beginning printed cardboard was used, later the home-made holiday snaps found use.
