This QSL dates back to the 80’s on one of my first QSOs on 20m while at W3EAX at the University of Maryland. I remember this QSO because I called CQ and it came back with the KC4 call and I thought I had worked down I-95 into 4 land when the Op said that he was Maritime Mobile off the South Pole on the CGC Glacier. Long QSO with 2 ops. Nice Memory….
Here is the first London Olympics card that I recieved from their special ops:
Going through my old QSLs I found this one from the special event for the 200th anniversary of the Constitution. You could op your station with 200 in place of your number. This was a contact from W3EAX the club station at the University of Maryland. We also op’ed as W200EAX.
This is my shack. I proudly use Heil Mics the pictured one is the HM-12 which I love. My rig is the Kenwood TS-480SAT which is 160 – 6m and 100 watts. I use Ham Radio Deluxe for logging and radio control. I purcahsed 6.0 because I think it is a great piece of software. My antenna is a G5RV mini which is running East/West in the attic at about 20 feet. There is another G5RV mini running North/South in an inverted Vee in the attic. I just need to get my MFJ remote switch to hook it up. For digitial modes I use the Signalink USB and my power supply is Astron. I plan on adding a 2m/440 rig. The antenna is up in the attic, I just haven’t run the coax to the shack in the basement. I currently use Echolink and DvDongle for D-Star from the Shack. Mobile I use the Icom ID-880H which also has D-Star. I run it into a mag mount. The mobile also has the Uniden Home Patrol Scanner which is great! Here are the links for the equipment I use:

This is a card from the US Senate Club. I found a webpage for them and it looks like the station is no longer active and the call is held by the trustee. Here is the webpage:
