QSL SV1YY (1965)

Amateur radio QSL card send by SV1YY to VE3BLU in Ontario, Canada, confirming a 7 MHz CW QSO in May 1965.

This is an unlicensed operation under a self-assigned call sign, quite common in Greece before 1967. Dimitrios Psimorifos (now a silent key) was eventually licensed around 1980 as SV1NY. The reference to SV1AY is also spurious, the actual owner of SV1AY was named Dimitrios Kokkinis.

QSL card mailed directly to Canada, franked with a pair of "Traité de Sèvres" stamps of 2 drachmae, cancelled with an "ATHINAI- AVION" postmark on 31 VIII 65.

QSL SV1IS (1978)

SV1XV has posted:

QSL card sent by SV1IS to W9QWM, confirming a 15 MHz CW QSO in June 1978. A stock Olympic Airways postcard was used with rubber stamps for callsign and data. The sender affixed a RAAG QSL stamp for sending via the bureau.

It appears that SV1IS held also an experimental radio station license of unknown type/purpose using callsign SZ2AAA.

nobody@ipernity.com (SV1XV) — Sat, 11 Jan 2025 06:22:24 +0000

SV1XV has posted:

QSL card confirming a 21 MHz FT8 (Digital) contact with Special Event Station SZ1AB aboard Armoured Cruiser Georgios Averof in June 2024.

The official ITU callsign of Averof was SZAB and it was adapted during this event to SZ1AB for compliance with the format of amateur radio callsigns.

The photograph used for the QSL card was taken after the 1925-1925 refit.
