SPUTNIK ONE QSL |
QSL FOR SPUTNIKS ONE and/or TWO |
A QSL Card is a written confirmation, either of a two-way radio contact between two Amateur Radio Operators- (HAMS) or a one-way reception of a radio signal such as the Short-Wave Listeners- (SWL) when they tuned in the Sputniks. Typically, SWLs would mail in information with the date/time and the frequency of reception plus the strength and duration of the signal received, and the type of radio and antenna they used. QSL collecting is a hobby of its own. During the 1950s - 60s - 70s and 80s HAM / SW Radio and Radio/TV Electronics was the geeky thing to do, kind of like computers and the Internet today. |
