W6MRV's wooden QSL card from our 7.163 MC* CW QSO. It was August 2, 1970 and I was still WN6CDA	Here's the original 6 Cent Postage Stamp still attached to the back of his card!!
Here's the card I mailed to Louis (It was 1970 and I was 14 years old).

In November 2008, about a decade after I created this QSL card page, Carl Champion wrote me from the Bay Area to say he knew and remembered Lou Perasso. Here's what Carl wrote me about W6MRV (With his permission):

Roger, I found the pic.

I was looking for something else and found it in a place I would not have guessed. Better to be lucky than smart! I have no idea who the second man is though. In the original photo you can see water in the background, could be S.F. bay and could be a picnic area at a place called Coyote Point- just a guess but it fits and popped into my mind as soon as I looked at the photo. The trees are young eucalyptus and Coyote Point is covered with this tree (now considered a "weed" by many). I remember discovering this photo several times over the past 40+ years and despite having no reason to keep it Lou was such a nice man, and invoked such good thoughts, I could not help but save it.

May God bless him.

Thanks for bringing a worthy man back into my mind Roger, Lou is deserving of rememberance.

Thanks, Carl C.

Here's a view of my current QSL card (I'll be updating it since I no longer live at that address!)
W6ZZM's 1975 QSL card - The Station was located at the Coast Guard's Training Center ("TRACEN") near Petaluma, California and was mostly used by students from Radioman "A" School (Of course!).

KH6UL's 1975 QSL card - "Uncle Louie" was located at NAVCAMS EASTPAC near Wahiawa, Oahu, Hawaii.
Click HERE to see photos of the station.
K6LY's 1977 QSL card - The Station was located at the Naval Post Graduate School in Monterey, California.
As a Coast Guard Radioman from down the road (Coast Guard Group Station Monterey) I was allowed membership in the club.
9TW's 1920s QSL card - This is from the collection of Ken Yarcho, a friend and climbing leader in the Colorado Mountain Club. Ken's father, Carl, was a Ham in Illinois, operating later out of Colorado as WØTW.
9TW worked the Coast Guard's experimental station in 1924.
(This QSL is also from the collection of Ken Yarcho, son of 9TW)
