This page features a number of selected QSL cards from my career as a DXer, which extends back to October of 1981. These cards include AM, FM, shortwave, utilities and Amateur Radio QSLs.
This QSL is from KRMI, a pirate radio station known as Radio Michigan International. I received this station, operating on 6950 kHz, on Christmas Eve, 2000...hours before I logged my 700th AM station at my present QTH, WRVC 930 Huntington, WV.
This QSL card, from Radio Australia, depicts a sunset at the Radio Australia transmitter site at Shepparton, Victoria. This was from a reception on 21740 kHz in January 2001.
I had to go to Georgia to get this one! I caught the legal ID for this one from Woodstock, GA in January 1989. WIL on 1430 kHz was running a Classic Country format at the time; the calls became WRTH in 1991. WIL is still on the air at 92.3 MHz; both stations are now owned by Bonneville International.
This is my first QSL card, from WWV Fort Collins, CO. This was for reception on 10 MHz on November 1, 1981. I logged this with my first receiver, a Realistic DX-60 AM/FM/CB/SW portable receiver. It's still working today.
This is the first AM (medium wave) broadcast band verification I received. This was from 50,000-watt Class A (then Class I-A) station WOAI San Antonio, TX. This is one of Clear Channel's first acquisitions; long before they became the whipping boys of corporate radio.
