W9TQL 1959 Winfield, Illinois
Tom,
My father was a ham radio operator in the 50's and early 60's. I
would spend Saturday afternoons with him in his radio room filing
his QSL cards and stamping the cards to be sent in the mail.
After his death his supply of cards was thrown away. I am looking
for a copy of his own QSL card. His call was W9TQL out of
Winfield, Illinois. Do you have any suggestions for how to go
about finding one of his old cards?

Hi Liz,
I do know someone who has it. I emailed him for the scan. There
is a good chance that I also have the card. I do have the 9's
seperated (1930 - 1959) but not alphabetized. There are several
thousand. It would take more time than I have to look through
them. If you are ever in eastern Ohio, Trumbull County area, you
are welcome to come over and look through them.
Tom,
Thank you so much for your time. I have such a clear picture in
my mind of his card. It would mean so much to be able to get one.
Thank you again.
Liz
Hi Tom,
Thanks for your forward of this QSL Card request. The Old QSL
Card W9TQL is dated 07-06-1959 from Bill Nolan of Winfield, IL
and sent to Tom Hughes K2JGG in Morris Plains, NJ. I have
attached the card for your review. Please feel free to display
this card on your page and I would appreciate the credit. The
more ways for people to find our work, the happier we are....
Also you can ask Bill's (W9TQL) daughter to email me and we can
make arrangement for her if she wants to obtain the card.
Thanks again Tom and 73 from Horse Shoe, NC
