Vintage QSLs Collection, August, 2025

 

                     Celebrating the Art, History, and Stories Behind Classic Radio Confirmations

Thank you  for the kind comments and suggestions for this month's Vintage QSLs Collection. This month, we're focusing on QSLs from Canadian contributor Kanwar Sandhu. Thank you, Kamwar.

The Vintage QSLs Collection is truly a step back in time, allowing you to remember classic QSL cards that tell stories of distant signals, fading stations, and the golden age of international radio. Whether it’s a card, a letter, or even a colorful pennant, each one has a story to tell.

Do you have a QSL with a special memory behind it?

Maybe it arrived during a holiday or a marathon all-night DX session. Perhaps it was captured from a remote listening post or marked the first—or final—broadcast of a favorite station.

Shortwave Central welcomes you to share your QSLs and stories with fellow listeners around the world.

Please send a scanned image and a brief description of the station or the logging occasion to: w4gvhla@gmail.com
