Antwan Horfée - Buzzard Control

The great thing about radio, say people who love radio, is that the pictures are all in your head. The history of radio is usually about the broadcasters and the audience, but QSL cards tell the story of a different culture: the two-way world of Citizen's Band radio. "QSL?" means "Do you receive me?" and "QSL" means "I receive you."

The first card was sent from Buffalo, New York in 1916.

For decades, the cards became a social medium for amateur radio enthusiasts. Aficionados could use the blank sides of QSL cards as classified ads, promoting services, clubs and societies.

The images in this book come from Antoine Horfee's QSL card collection, assembled as a novice celebration of the QSL card.

Inside Buzzard Control, the footage is now all in your hands.
