QSL Card

My latest iteration of the QSL card. Getting happier with it by and by. I like the 1864 Johnson map of the area for the historical oddities but it is a little busy even when washed out. If anyone knows where to find a line drawing of the six state area centered along the Missouri River I’d be much obliged. I need the image to be large (>=2000px) because I’m going for 4×6 print-quality image file.

Spinning classics

Behold the Rek-O-Kut turntable, my father’s pride and joy. Special were the days we were allowed to play records on it. Many more were the days we played records without permission.

Finally hooked it up to an amp and speakers tonight. My god this is a great turntable. Rock solid performance and completely isolated from ambient vibration. The motor is strong enough to drive a tractor. The platter has more inertia than many solar systems. Unfortunately the stock tone arm went somewhere in the late 70s or early 80s. Still, this aftermarket Pioneer arm is the schnizit.

I have a hankering to dig up the Big Sounds of the Drag Boats LP and play a little Tricky Nicky.
