KICKER: A VIRTUAL WALL? IT'S IN THE CARDS
JIM/ANCHOR: Finally, this last story is for you in case you're feeling
a little off-the-wall. If you can't get to Ohio for Hamvention, you'll
miss the QSL Card Wall that's one of the attention-getting features this
year. So, here's another wall you can visit right there in your QTH
instead. Amateur Radio Newsline's Stephen Kinford, N8WB, explains.
STEPHEN: If you can't get to Ohio to see the QSL wall - a massive wall
of QSL cards planned for Hamvention - and if you aren't going to
Friedrichschafen Germany, where the tradition began, how about this? The
Les Nouvelles DX website where more than 14,600 old QSL cards are on
display in a variety of galleries and albums. The collection contains
some must-see cards - at least one card for each of the 60 deleted
DXCC countries, hundreds of QSL cards bearing prefixes that have long
since disappeared, and more than 500 QSL cards from the 10 most wanted
DXCC entities, collected between 2007 and 2016. You'll also see more than
450 QSL cards from the rare French Pacific Islands, and more than 950 QSL
cards from the bases in Antarctica.
The web page is located at lesnouvellesdx.fr.
This is a virtual QSL card wall you can visit anytime!
Best of all, just like the wall at Hamvention - and just like the big
wall in Germany, visitors will see in July of this year - you can add
your own cards. Upload them in .JPG format after creating a copy of
both sides of the card. Send them with your comments to
[email protected]
If you visit the website, you'll notice it's in French, but there is a
Google translate link on the left-hand side, so feel free to use it to
switch languages.
For Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Stephen Kinford, N8WB.
