I decided I just HAD to hang around to see who won the grand prize drawing... crossing my fingers it would be me. It was for a Kenwood TS-590, which is the radio I have had my eyes on since it was introduced. What a great prize! Well, guess who won... that's right.... Santa Claus...

While I was there, I saw a few items worthy to photograph and this box is one of them.  I didn't see until I got home what the articles were, but how interesting they were. I should have bought them both.

Compare and contrast... 
73... May 1975... $1 unidentifiable (homebrew?) Handie Talkie... Rolls Royce, Mink Coat, Dated fashion... and on the cover it tells you there's a story on how to write for their competitor!

CQ... January 1975... $1 unidentified ham with equipment still being used to this day at a field day or contest outdoors. This could have been shot yesterday! Interesting that they were talking about no-code licenses back then and it actually came to be, but almost 31 years later!

Seeing these made me smile and remember when I was young and looked up the bound copies of these magazines in the local library because I couldn't afford to subscribe.

Enjoying a day at the Hamcation 2011 hamfest. One of the largest I've been to in years.

Some of the features for qsl.fm include callsign lookups with the ability to use wildcards. This would allow you to search for all hams with a particular prefix or suffix.  Also you can search by zip code or name as well.

Want to know what repeaters are active in a particular zip code, State or Province in the USA or Canada? That's supported as well. Filtering by band is also supported. 

Future upgrades will include the ability to search for hamfests in your area.  I'm looking forward to this feature.  

The best part about qsl.fm is that there is a matching iPhone and Android app for it, with much the same features, including the ability to determine your search by geo-location of the phone instead of having to input your zip code or State.  Check below for obtaining your copy of the app. (Note, there is a nominal charge for the app)

Please also note that I have no connection to this new site or app other than to be a happy user of them and wanting to share with my fellow hams.
