1990 Real Photo Postcard Finland Beach Curacao Neth Antilles Raimo Bjork Ham Radio Operator QSL PJ2-OH2BGD Vintage Real Photo Postcard of a Finland Beach Curacao Neth Antilles sent by Raimo Bjork A nice QSL Card from Raimo Bjork Call letters PJ2-OH2BGD Dated 09-11-1990 Front of card features a Sepia tone photograph of a man standing on a beach with a grass hut in the background, wearing a swimming mask and holding a pair of swim fins. There is a portion of a palm tree along the edge, so I am assuming this photo was taken on a beach in the Caribbean where the return address is located, which I suppose was discussed during the Ham Radio talk between Raimo and Whitey. The bright white back side of the card is plain, (no printing), but has a gold return address sticker label in the bottom left corner, and a white sticker with the standard QSO information in the top right corner. There is also a Blue Printed (or Stamped) signature of Raimo Bjork in the bottom right corner. Finland is a Northern European nation bordering Sweden and Russia. Its capital, Helsinki, sits on a peninsula and coastal islands in the Baltic Sea Historically the Netherlands Antilles included the colony of Curaçao and its dependencies. The former Dutch colony of Surinam Located in the Caribbean. This photo postcard is a nice historical specimen to add to any collection. CONDITION: Very good condition. No pin holes, rips, tears or creases. Corners and edges are crisp and not dinged or creased. There is no postmark, postage or mailing address, so I am assuming this may have been sent in an envelope with a separate letter. (see photos). Has been stored in, and will be shipped in archive quality clear postcard sleeve The light blue border around the scan of the backside is not a part of this postcard, we used blue paper when scanning white cards to better define the edges of the white backside of this postcard.
