[Boatanchors] FS: lot of 26 DX QSL Cards 1950s (Mostly) 1960s

[Richard W. Solomon]

K1MEM ... now that brings back memories. He was a dear friend that passed 
much too soon. 

I think the guy that had them all was W1GKK (SK). He had one more than W6AM 
(Portuguese Goa, IIRC). I was listening to the Desecheo (I think it was that 
one) Operation on 20 and heard George work Jim down there. Jim said something 
like ..."glad to see #1 back to the East Coast"... .

I have a 160 Q confirmed on the back of a Polaroid shot of the Island as they 
approached it. Jim did work for Polaroid for a number of years. Worth a lot to 
me, but probably nothing to anyone else.

73, Dick, W1KSZ
