QSL CARD FROM DELTA BRAVO 042 (GWYNEDD-NORTH WEST WALLES)

Gwynedd (IPA: ['gwɪ.nɛð]) is a principal area in north-west Wales, named after the old Kingdom of Gwynedd. Although one of the biggest in terms of geographical area, it was also one of the most sparsely populated. A large proportion of the population being Welsh-speaking, it became once again a centre of nationalism, with Plaid Cymru gaining a toehold which helped the party on to greater successes.

Gwynedd is the home of the University of Wales, Bangor and includes the scenic Llŷn Peninsula, and most of the Snowdonia National Park.

The name "Gwynedd" is also used for a preserved county, covering Anglesey as well as the principal area.
