Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

QSL Card 29 Pemberton Road, 1948

"QSL cards confirm either a two-way radiocommunication between two amateur radio stations or a one-way reception of a signal from an AM radio, FM radio, television or shortwave broadcasting station. They can also confirm the reception of a two-way radiocommunication by a third party listener. A typical QSL card is the same size and made from the same material as a typical postcard, and most are sent through the mail as such." (Wikipedia).

There were many standard abbreviations used by morse operators to speed up traffic. 73 = best wishes, 88 = love and kisses, XYL = wife ( work that one out ) and the one you didn't want to get - LID = annoying little git.
