Ragged QSL card from Romania


This water-stained and pinhole-filled QSL card was sent from Bucharest (București), Romania, to the United States in 1957. The call sign of the Romanian operator, handwritten, appears to be either Y05-1641 or YO5-1641. The contact information on the front states:

REPUBLICA POPULARǍ ROMİNǍ
PSE QSL TNX
P.O. BOX 95
BUCUREŞTI

Sent 62 years ago, this QSL card was a response to a contact with W3AIT. That's a call sign that Papergreat readers should be familiar with. It belonged to ham-radio enthusiast Melvin C. Reed of Frackville, Pennsylvania. In May, I featured QSL cards that Reed received from the Soviet Union and France.
