Description
Ready to take a trip down memory lane to when the airwaves belonged to the people?
The Art of CB Radio: QSL Cards 1980-1990 is your ticket back to the golden age of Citizens Band - when handles replaced names, channel 19 was trucker territory, and a handshake came in the form of a QSL card posted across continents.
A Visual Feast of QSL Artwork
From hand-drawn cartoons to professionally printed designs, discover the creativity that flourished when CB enthusiasts wanted to prove they'd made contact. Each image tells a story - some humorous, some heartfelt, all uniquely personal.
This collection honours Anthony "Tony" Whelan of Portsmouth, whose callsign Bandit 010 connected him with hundreds of fellow enthusiasts during the 1980s and 90s. His carefully preserved QSL cards form the heart of this book - a personal archive that captures the spirit of an entire era.
