    Interesting eBay Find...

    So, last week I get an email out of the blue from a ham I've never contacted before, Ed PA3KOE (hey Cor, do you know him?).

    It's letting me know about an interesting piece of pre-WW 2 memorabilia that had just shown up on eBay.

    It was incorrectly listed as a "WW2 German Third Reich Nazi propaganda Radio permit card" -- but it wasn't.

    And I just found out I won the auction for it...

    Wow, you're older than I thought, Ron.

    On Edit: I wonder what became of Mr. Stuber. Hope he survived the war.

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Maybe I worked him via a club call or under a prior call? I will find out, as I owe him a big thanks.

    I do have a few of the original W3WN's QSL cards, collected over the years, plus one signed by Ed (with call) from another station he was operating from. So this will be a very interesting addition to the collection.

    Kind of funny that everything I've found was from the 1930's. Could he have gone inactive after WW2, kept the license but never used it, or used it much? I guess I'll never know.

    Thanks a heap. You're getting as bad as the ARRL on that, Your Holeyness. I just got my '40 years membership' certificate from them, unexpected & out of the blue, last week. I don't feel that old!!!!

    At least you have enough hair left for the Grecian Formula.
