Committee to Preserve Radio Verifications

Hornbake Library, University of Maryland

http://www.ontheshortwaves.com/cprv.html

Beginning in the early days of broadcasting, radio listeners developed the practice of writing to stations that they heard over long distances. They described the programming they heard, and asked the station to "verify" in writing that it was indeed their station that was heard. Stations soon began responding to these "reception reports" with their own distinctive "verification cards." These cards came to be known as "QSLs," the letters "Q-S-L" being the international Morse code symbol for "I acknowledge receipt." The Committee to Preserve Radio Verifications is a five-person group whose goal is to preserve QSLs belonging to hobbyists who are no longer active. Many QSL collections are misplaced or discarded when their owners pass away or leave the hobby. This is unfortunate because QSLs are not just souvenirs of individual listening experiences, but also an important part of the history of radio, reflecting changes in national politics, broadcasters, frequencies and relations between stations and listeners (From the Project Website)
