Quoting the Wikipedia:
CB Radio enthusiasts often exchanged colorful QSL cards, especially during the height of CB's popularity in the 1970s.
Thanks for the update ! I never could afford a Sideband radio back in the day let alone a amp or fancy antenna. Talking skip was only a dream back then. So trying to fill my bucket list. LOL
In my truck using a Galaxy DX 94HP and a
Almighty Antenna 63" mobile mag mount antenna.
From South Central Missouri to Yorkshire England
on channel 37 LSB. No amp.
These really are a great antenna. Mine talks and hears great.

South Africa from Delaware. Stryker 955 and xforce 4 pill. Sirio Vector 4000, 40 feet up.
Most memorial was talking to a guy from Missouri to Michigan three times in one week, it was just like we were locals there that week. If I remember or come across his handle I will put it up here. Could be somebody on here, knight or night something etc.
Not real long distance but it sure was fun.
I know I had one contact from Rio de Janeiro it's a bit of a stretch for my wire.

Out on my boat with my Cherokee AH 100 walkie talkie I made contact with a guy on the big island in the Hawaiian Islands. From the lower Keys to out there is about 4900 miles. I'll take it.

Thanks! That's about 9,700 miles as the crow flies. I have heard Australia several times, and I heard one of our locals make contact before. But I haven't been able to yet. Australia is a little over 10k miles from Delaware, maybe someday soon.
20 some years ago I made a brief contact with a station in Australia, never kept track of dx contacts back then
I was talking on a Uniden Grant with a silver streak 150 backing it up through a 102" stainless whip.
More recently I was heading to Palm Springs area a few years ago and made contact with a station in Belize. I was passing through Calimesa at the time. I was able to get his #'s and wrote them down in my book.
At that time I was on my Grant XL with a Texas Star 350 and a crappy fiberglass whip.

I'm not sure of distance, but last week has been mighty good DXing. I spoke with Australia, Ireland, Scotland, London, British Columbia, Spain, and a few others. Since I've sold my FT-990, and a few others, all I have left are two Stryker 995s. A V1 and a V2. My V2 is my primary rig as I have the upgraded finals and the setup I want. I also run a Texas Star DX-500V. The antenna is a Sirio 2008.
x2 the sirio 2008. i got to 310 in queensland last week and ireland yesterday
