Ham Radio QSL QSO Postcard IKØWMQ, Anzio, Lazio, Italy

The QSL card from Italian amateur radio station IKØWMQ, operated by Rino Cinquegrana, features whimsical blue drawings depicting various stages of radio operation, including a preamplifier and discriminator. Clearly marked with the call sign and address in Anzio, Rome, the card details a contact with the station XL3BLU via VE3BLU on July 1, 1994, at 21:20 GMT on the 20-meter band, with a reported signal strength of 55S in CW mode. The playful illustrations are accompanied by a humorous note suggesting that the receiver was constructed "during the Stone Age," adding a charming touch to the technical information presented. The reverse side is mostly blank, containing just the address for XL3BLU and the routing information.
