Big thanks for operating the W5L special event station. The Louisiana Purchase is such an important part of our history.
The QSL card is informative and looks great. I was operating remote on 20m SSB from northern New Mexico, just outside of the western limit of the purchase. Bobby had a very strong signal indeed.
