QSL HERITAGE

Presented is a collection of my grandfather, Les Miles's short-wave listening QSL cards from the late 1930s to early 1940's


 

A brief collection of SWL QSL cards from diverse locations during a turbulent period of world history. For my grandfather Les Miles the art of SWL (Short Wave Listening) during the 1930s and 1940s was constructing and maintaining all of his radio and test equipment. It conjures up the image of the fine art of the period, the large metallic receivers, the warm glow of the valves and a delightful smell from the transformer and wax-capacitors which if you have never experienced it, your life will never be compete.
