AUSTRALIAN HAM RADIO STORE
This morning, my CQ was answered by N7RO. Dick is a legend. He started offering a QSL service to dx stations in 1957 and to this day, he still serves the ham community with the same gusto. Last year he mailed out his one millionth QSL. Sixty seven years of dedication – and still chasing. In may this year, in a brief 6m opening, I was honoured to hand him a new one on the magic band. Dick, our utmost respect and gratitude for your unselfish service.
