    Surfin': Still QSLing Those Radio Memories

    By Stan Horzepa, WA1LOU

    This week's Surfin' considers the QSL card for one more time.

    The Galerie de QSL of the Les Nouvelles DX Web site displays an amazing array of Amateur Radio QSL cards.

    In response to last week's column, "QSLing Those Radio Memories," Jean-Michel Duthilleul, F6AJA, wrote that he has a Web site displaying a collection of more than 6000 Amateur Radio QSL cards. Somehow, I missed Jean-Michel's Web site last week, but it is something that you should not miss!

    Visit the Galerie de QSL of the Les Nouvelles DX Web site; if you are not fluent in French, click on the "anglais" button in the right frame to view the pages in the "King's English." When you do, you will see, among other cards, QSLs from:

    The Web site is French-centric, but there is plenty of cardstock for everyone to feast their eyes on. And after you have gawked at all the rare QSL cards, visit the Web site's home page to discover a treasure trove of DX information, both new and old.

    Until next time, keep on surfin'!

    Editor's note: Stan Horzepa, WA1LOU, added a Hallicrafters S200 receiver to his Christmas wish list. To communicate with Stan, send him e-mail or add comments to his blog. By the way, every installment of Surfin' is indexed here, so go look it up.
