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.
