1963 Mansfield Ohio QSL Card

This is an original 1963 CB radio QSL card from Alfred and Barb Hogan of Mansfield, Ohio, featuring their personal call signs KHG-9085 and KHG-8886. The card was sent to confirm a two-way radio communication (QSO) with a contact named "Radia." It reflects the classic mid-century tradition of CB radio operators exchanging QSL cards as a record of communication.

The card lists their address as 1108 Walker Street, Mansfield, Ohio. It includes various handwritten details such as the year 1963, channel usage, and a note indicating both base and mobile operation. The transceiver used was a Lafayette model, a well-known brand among CB enthusiasts of the era. The antenna and channel selections are also noted, covering channels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 22, showing a wide range of CB activity.

There are personal remarks written on the card, including phrases like "Mizerarking to You" and "Call Anytime," offering a glimpse into the friendly and informal communication style of CB operators in the early 1960s. The handwritten details and dated aesthetic make this a unique and collectible piece.

This QSL card is a great find for vintage radio collectors, CB history enthusiasts, or anyone interested in American radio culture from the post-war era. It captures the spirit of a time when CB communication connected people across towns and states, long before the age of digital messaging.

This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful host or hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
