Front of the NSS QSL card–the back has contact info an excellent explanation of NSS with photos.<\/p><\/div>\n

Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Ulis Fleming (K3LU)<\/a>, who writes:<\/p>\n

I wanted to pass along some information regarding the NSS Annapolis radio station.<\/p>\n

Last year\u2019s cards were sent out for Armed Forces day with one generic card with all the callsigns. This year the ops at NSS will be sending cards direct on their own to ALL amateur stations who worked NSS without solicitation via their address posted in QRZ.com.<\/p>\n

SWLs can send a full SWL report with station worked, time to K3LU via the QRZ.com address or email me for my address at K3LU@hotmail.com<\/a>. A SASE is helpful but not necessary.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks so much, Ulis! What a great service to the SWL community!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
