A QSL from 50 Yrs ago (Ham Radio)

Yesterday in the mail I received a gift from WN0FAM Danny Lang A fellow Ham that I met some 50 years ago on the air. The gift was a QSL card that I sent to him. We were both Novice operators and we both had just been on the air just a few weeks. We were using Morris code at about 5 words per minute and at a frequency on the 75 meter band of 3.730 Mhz. My antenna was an inverted "V" dipole at 30 foot, I was running 75 watts, the legal power allowed by a Novice license. I'm sure our sending was pretty bad at least mine was. This QSL card was a very welcome gift and meant the world to me. Thank you so much Danny KF0INL. 73, Jack WB9OTX/WN9GOA
