It's truly a lost art.

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.

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.

 

[Shadetree Mechanic]

Good Job !

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.
