1620 WJDI pirate QSL received after 25 years!

[Kilokat7]

This came in the mail last week from pirate WJDI after sending the operator a report last year for a broadcast that took place in 1989.  This came beautifully framed as shown, 8-1/2" x 11" card with hand written note explaining it would be the last WJDI QSL issued:




For those that don't know or remember, WJDI operated on 1620 kHz during the late 80s-early 90s before the AM expanded band existed.  WJDI was famous for running very high powered homebrew transmitters ranging from 2.5 to 15kw.

Many thanks to Dave for this great QSL, first class all the way!

Please Ops don't wait 25 years to send my QSL's. You will get a return to sender . All kidding aside that is one classy QsL .

Thanks guys.  Dave has provided me with all the history on WJDI which I am currently compiling into an article.  More to follow in coming weeks...
