This week on @swradiogram.bsky.social we're treated to a nice collection of QSL cards from the 60's courtesy of @radioactiveal.bsky.social — thanks for sharing them! Here are some of mine… RCI from 2007, and HCJB and KUSW from 1990. I sure wish I'd pursued more when I was younger!

A collage of images transmitted via the Shortwave Radiogram episode #421, at 2330 UTC on WINB 9265 kHz. Received on the Alabama gulf coast.

A QSL card for RCI, Radio Canada International, features various photographs of RCI personalities and Bill "The Bear" Westehaver, a mascot of sorts for the QSL "Maple Leaf Mailbag" QSL programme.

A QSL card from 1990 for former shortwave station "Super Power KUSW Radio Worldwide", which played rock music. The card has three snapshots of Utah's natural beauty, and the slogan "Utah! The World Is Welcome Here!" on the bottom.

One of the images from @swradiogram.bsky.social program 421 transmitted at 9265 kHz by WINB in Red Lion Pennsylvania USA (FM19) on Thursday 2025-10-09T23:30-24:00Z as received in Oakland California USA (CM87). See all the images I received at jrabold.net/swrimages/

A QSL card from Radio Canada. "QSL" refers to an acknowledgment of the receipt of transmitted information. In this case, Radio Canada sent the card to acknowledge a listener's confirmation of the receipt of the station's transmission.

They look great! A good signal here in FL. Images here all had that sort of grainy look with ragged edges. Par for WINB's early 'cast.
