Hello all.

I don't know if there are any stamp collectors in this group, but I
came across information that the United Nations will issue six new
stamps (radio related-see photo) for World Radio Day 2013. 2 will be
from New York, 2 from Geneva, and the last 2 from Wein (Austria). I
can give out costs and mailing info for those interested in getting
them. They will be for sale through the UN Postal Administration in
New York. For those not aware, a country issuing stamps dealing with
any form of radio is considered rare in todays internet generation.
