around *seven million*, are located in a building opposite the headquaters
of ORF..the  Vienna collection also contains a large library of radio books

collection at the University of Maryland stands at almost 40,000. The oldest
QSL card in this collection is dated 1921, and approximately one third of
the entire collection is dated before 1950.

Tja, mit 3000plus ist man da nur ein "armer Schlucker".
