HERE IS A PICTURE OF MY HUSBAND, N1EA. WE WERE MARRIED IN GREENHARBOR, MASS. ON 14 FEBRUARY 2003 AT 2100 UTC. WHICH OF COURSEIS VALENTINE'S DAY. WHICH IS EXACTLY ONE YEAR AFTER OUR FIRSTQSO (CW of course!).

I really like QSL cards - and I like photography, so I collectQSLs with photos. Send me yours and I might put it here!

Here is my present QSL card:

Here is my Society of Wireless Pioneers QSL Card -

Here is my Orchid QSL

This is where I used to live- KB0RQN was in the shadow of the ARCH in St. Louis, MO - thenI moved EASTWARD...

I love the ORCHID SHOW held in STL in January.

KH6RF/MM SENT ME THIS SNAPSHOT OF DIAMOND HEAD FROM HIS SHIP ASIT ENTERED PORT IN HONOLULU.

THIS IS MY DRIVE TO WORK NOW! Isn't it great?

N2NA sends a photo of the SS UNITED STATES/KJEH radio room.

Paul Mac Carthy is standing next to where N2NA used to be stationed- it is his MILL (a MILL is a CW Telegrapher's typewriter - itwrites all caps with a slash zero.). At the rear is BillWalker (SK) who is working the RCA ET-8063 SSB radio which wasused to make telephone calls (ship-to-shore).

My husband, N1EA, likes to read me "bedtime stories". Since I have a commercial radiotelegraph license,but never managed to sail (he did for many years), he reads mestories from books having to do with Morse Code at sea.

One book I particularly liked was a fictionbook loosly based on the author's experience on SableIsland, VCT (MCT was their earlier Marconi call letters because they beganwith "M") -- called "The Nymph and the Lamp"by Thomas Raddall a Canadian author who lived in the AnnapolisValley near Halifax, Nova Scotia. He typed up some of the mostinteresting parts dealing with Morse Code in this file.

Extractsfrom "The Nymph and the Lamp" by Thomas Raddall.

N3DRK, John -- sends his QSLcard and a shack photo.

Look at all those RL Drake glowrigs - all vacuum tubes!
