Solomon Islands Ham Radio Stamps
During World Communications Year (WCY) 1983, I was involved in
the production of two Solomon Island Ham Radio stamps and First Day Covers:
 |
The 18c stamp depicting Amateur Radio that was part of a
four stamp set and FDC for WCY was also used on a limited edition FDC
commemorating the founding of Solomon Islands Radio Society. |
|
A special FDC using the 45c Shuttle Columbia stamp and
commemorating the first ham radio operation from the space shuttle. |
In 1996, the centennial year of radio
communications, Solomon Islands issued a set of four stamps commemorating
Marconi's achievements. This FDC is sought after by radio enthusiasts world
wide. These First Day Covers and stamps can be
seen and purchased by following these links:
