QSL cards.

The QSL card..a must have accessory for any CB'er!!

.

So, you've installed your Audioline 341 in the MKII Escort, complete with Sirtel CBE-2002 echo microphone.

.

The trusty Cherokee Half Breed has been checked for a low VSWR. It is below 1.5:1 so you're content with that!

.

The solder is still warm on the patch leads linking your Zetagi B300P to the radio, and you are racing your mate in his Chevette to the local high spot for a bit of DX'ing....

.

When you get there, the whole skyline is filled with antennas, and the "Free for all" has begun to see who can get the furthest.

.

You park up next to Dave in his Morris Marina, and his 7' Firestik gently sways in the soft breeze, against the soft glow of the Summer sunset.

.

He is chatting away to somebody in Cheltenham, and although everyone is listening to the conversation, you can't wait to have a try yourself.

.

So you signal "Me next" to him in a strange hand gesture, and he nods to confirm. He tells the station in Cheltenham to call you, and then your moment arrives.

.

Your throat goes dry in anticipation of what the signal report will be, bearing in mind you have 200 Watts just itching to fly through the night sky.

.

"I can hear you super fine here mate.....what's my signal to you?"

.

"Your nearly thirty plus here mate!" replies the guy in Cheltenham.

.

"Thanks a lot mate" you say, "My PO Box is ......"

.

Well you know the rest!!

.

The cards come in thick and fast, as a few listeners send cards along with the Cheltenham QSL card.

.

The rest is history as they say.........
