1934 ZS2U South Africa Ham Radio QSO Card small footed bowl 2" across at lipAnother old amateur radio QSO postcard, with a wonderfully earnest and hopeful looking image of, I imagine, sender A. F. Akers himself this one dated 1934 and sent from ZS2U (Cape Town) to W9NGB in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. As noted with one other I just listed, Im feeling inclined to snatch up really good examples of these when I find them (even if they just wind up as my own little collection)I really love the low tech production of them,
