About the Author
A year ago, Laura Piipari fell head first into the fascinating world of amateur radio while sorting through her late father's QSL card collection. Known by the call sign OH2BBR, her father was a founding member of the legendary Finnish radio amateur club OH2AM, which is celebrating its 60th birthday in 2024.
Inspired by the rich history and personal stories on the cards, she set out to write Atlas of QSL Cards. Laura resides in Helsinki, Finland.
