"Picture Decatur" (Decatur IL)

Based on this collection of QSL "trading cards", there was a significant number of Decatur folks who took their CB (Citizen's Band) Radio hobby very seriously. (For those who might need a little primer on what these photos represent....... a  QSL card is a written confirmation of either a two-way radiocommunication between two amateur radio stations or a one-way reception of a signal from an AM radio, FM radio, television or shortwave broadcasting station. It can also confirm the reception of a two-way radiocommunication by a third party listener.)

Here's a new collection (the 13th) of photos celebrating and memorializing the history of Decatur Illinois.  TAGS: boat license, bottle, Cadet, jazz band, Lincoln Theater, MacArthur High School, Melvin David, memory lane, MHS, Millikin Building, millikin university, MU, Pythian, Wabash Railroad,
