Here is my new QSL card. Since amateurs have not had access to these frequencies in almost a century, I wanted to convey a feeling of that era. The earth and towers were taken from a 1906 Electro Importing Co. advertisement. The fonts are as close as I could come to the originals. I will be sending these to the experimental stations I have had QSO,s with.
