G. C. Liesenberg, Photographic QSL Card, South Africa, 1939

G. C. Liesenberg, Photographic QSL Card, South Africa, 1939
"G. C. Liesenberg, B.O. Box 48, Empangeni, Zululand, S. Africa. Photo by H. Duncan Abraham, P.O. Box 1699, Durban."

A photographic QSL card from 1939 that provided G. C. Liesenberg's old radio call sign--exZT5F--as well as his new one--ZS5AW. The writing on what was intended to look like an oversized QSL card that Liesenberg's holding is an acknowledgement that he made contact with another radio operator on January 14, 1939. I like how his kid is pretending to turn one of the dials on the radio.

W3FLM. Would have been looking forward to adding the return card to his "W" (U.S.A.) cards in the fourth column at left. The "Z" cards would all be from South Africa. There are a few others there from Europe, including a bunch of CR7 - which falls in Portugal's range - but which I expect were probably from Portuguese Angola and/or Mozambique.
