QSL cards have been used by Citizen Band(CB)radio Folks for decades to indicate that they have talked together on a certain radio frequency, date and time. There is a distinction between CB Radio QSL cards and Ham Radio QSL Cards! Ham Radio QSL's go back to the turn of the century. Therefore, many CB Amateur operators have their own postcards made, many even make their own hand made ones.

Many operators proudly display these cards as records of their achievements. Some, for example, try to get at least one card from every county in the United States. Others, try for a card from as many countries as possible. 

The basic content of a QSL card is the name and location/address of the sender, his or her call sign, technical details concerning the equipment used, and notes on the quality of the transmission. Very brief personal messages are common. The basic content is sometimes supplemented by artwork (much of which is originally designed or commissioned for these uses) or, less frequently, by "real photos". Some of this artwork is imaginative and exceptionally high quality.

Condition: The front and back covers are shown, and condition is very good. The card is curled slightly (typical) and the green is faded some and has pin hole over the "4."  VERY NICE
