Does anyone remember the sunspot maximum of 1957 and 1958? It was a
block buster. The whole thing could have started then as far as
anyone knows.

I just pulled out my SWL logs from that time and the QSL cards are
from all over the planet.

Several of my favorites are small, 1k AM stations on nightime low
power. I also have SWL QSL cards from France, Ireland, West Germany
and a couple of other countries - all AM stuff.

The funniest one was from Liechtenstein. The engineer of the station
was a former Armed Forces Radio type and he wrote a three page letter
about living in a country the size of a postage stamp.

It's still funny now as it was when I was 12. :)
