K4NBN No Bad News/And PP display of QSL Cards for MAB

"NO BAD NEWS". Ah yes I remember this call from way back. As I was going through cards to use during a presentation for the Montreal Amateur Radio Club, Show and Tell meeting, I came across this card from 1984. Del, now a silent key, was the owner of the call K4NBN.

Del was a fixture on the bands. I remember working him in the 80's on 20M. He spoke of those who were Canadians and Brits as cousins and was often heard reading poetry on the air. The QSL card he sent was a voucher for a free Alligator, yes a real live free if you wanted it Alligator. It is also widely known that his wife was shall we say well endowed with a very large chest. I do believe at one time we had this card along with the free Alligator card but, to date I can not find it.

As I eluded to earlier the card was featured in a presentation to the M.A.R.C (Montreal Amateur Radio Club) during a show and tell session. I have uploaded the Power Point document to Windows Live and you can click on the picture to the right to see it and the other cards in the display. Of interesting note regarding our own QSL card. The card has been in use now for 29 years and probably will be changed now that the MAB has merged with the McKay Rehab Centre. The original call for the group was VE2GGU and the card featured the Olympic Stadium in blue on the front I apologize but, the cards for GGU are no longer in the shack as they were tossed out after the call was changed to VE2MAB.
