The middle one is from my youth. in 1975 Nick in Moscow USSR heard my contact with OD5IO. I didn’t remember the contact with Lebanon. It turns out that the operator was K4NYY (who is now a silent key. See https:\/\/www.qrz.com\/db\/K4NYY\/?mlab=<\/a>). <\/b><\/div>\n

The bottom one pre-dates me by more than twenty years. It comes from Berlin in 1936. W5AIR was heard working EI7F on 20 meter CW. Does anyone have any info on this SWL? <\/b><\/div>\n

Over on The SWLing Post blog<\/a>, readers posted this info: <\/b><\/div>\n
