Q. I QSO'd with Jonestown and received a QSL card from Guyana. Is it worth anything?
A. When you attempt to put a value on something you generally consider two things: Scarcity and want for the item. Although the Temple sent out lots of QSL cards, there is definitely a limited amount out there. So, scarcity helps the value, but since there isn't a real mass interest in obtaining one of these cards, the value isn't that spectacular. I've seen these cards go for $15-$30, and that's for filled out cards as well as blank ones.
Q. I QSO'd with Jonestown and may have spoken with Jim Jones. Did Jones ever talk to hams himself?
A. Yes. Yes he did. Although he often refered to himself as, "Al". |
