Title:
QSL Card from WN4HAQ, Atlantic Highlands, N.J., to W4ATC, NC State Student Amateur Radio
Description:
Transcribed from back: W4ATL Heard you on 80 meter CW at 8:50 P.M. Jan. 7, 1955. You were R5-S5. You were in contact with WN4HAQ. I was listening to you at a ham's house. We both copied you. There was QRM all around you but he had a HQ-129-X which picked you out and held you. That is why you were R5. My own rcvr is a 5-38C and I a 15' ant. I am studying for my Novice exam and hope to work you when and if I get a call. Hope you will confirm. It would be my first 80 meter W4 card. 73 ES DX.
