Hello Frank,
My first QSO with Don Miller was in 1959.
I was in the Army in Ansbach, Germany. My call was DL4SH and I worked Don
on 15 CW. He was WN9WNV on Lake Shore Drive in Chicago. I think I have his
QSL, if I look a bit. If I find it, I will post it.
I had a private DL call and it cost me $0.75 a month. I made $100.00 a month in
the Army.

Hi Carl,
My first QSO with Don Miller was in 1963 when he was in the army as HL9KH .
There is an interesting web site about W9WNV here:

What ever became of Herb Kline, K1IMP?
