The following QSLs are from contributor verifications that were cut from my upcoming QSL Report column due to space constraints. For this edition of EXTRA, we feature Brian Bagwell's colorful verification card from All India Radio, featuring the Devidol. . The Devidol, built in 1734, is believed to be the highest Siva Temple in India. Thanks Brian for sharing the card from AIR.
Thank you to all the contributors who share their QSL verifications with the magazine. Have you sent yours in yet?
