Hello,
I'm a stamp collector that likes unusual postal history items. I
bought these recently and put a page of them together starting back in
the early thirties. When did the cards start?
It may be interesting for radio enthusiasts to view.
Here is a selection of QSL cards:

take note of the russian zeppellin or flying saucer towards the end.
they are sort of in alphabetical order.

Thanks for that; they were interesting to see.
I'm frankly amazed that people in the USSR were chatting over the
radio with Americans in 1950. Those guys must have worked for the
secret police, received special permission, or had balls the size of
grapefruits. We used to hand out 25 year terms in Kolyma for crimes
like that!
