Description: CITIZENS BAND RADIO - KLP 6962 - Williamsport, PENNSYLVANIA - Bob & Gary Bernadi - Monoplane: Citizens Band Radio (also known as CB radio), used in many countries, is a land mobile radio system, a system allowing short-distance person-to-person bidirectional voice communication between individuals, using two way radios operating on 40 channels near 27 MHz (11 m) in the high frequency (aka shortwave) band. Citizens band is distinct from other personal radio service allocations such as FRS, GMRS, MURS, UHF CB and the Amateur Radio Service ("ham" radio). In many countries, CB operation does not require a license, and (unlike amateur radio) it may be used for business or personal communications. Like many other land mobile radio services, multiple radios in a local area share a single frequency channel, but only one can transmit at a time. The radio is normally in receive mode to receive transmissions of other radios on the channel; when a user wants to talk he presses a "push to talk" button on his radio, which turns on his transmitter. Users on a channel must take turns talking. Transmitter power is limited to 4 watts in the US and the EU, and CB radios have a range of about 3 to 20 miles, depending on terrain. A callbook is a directory of radio station call signs. Originally a bound book that resembled a telephone directory, it contains the name and addresses of radio stations in a given jurisdiction (country). Modern Electrics published the first callbook in the United States in 1909. Today, the primary purpose of a callbook is to allow radio operators to send a confirmation post card, called a QSL card to an operator with whom they have communicated via radio. Callbooks have evolved to include online databases that are accessible via the Internet to instantly obtain the address of another amateur radio operator and their QSL Managers. The most well-known and used on-line QSL database for the 11-meter/freebander community is QRZ11.COM, designed after its "big brother" QRZ.com for amateur radio. The husband and wife here (Bill & Jean Miller) call themselves “The Knight Owl”; they operate out of Vandergrift, Pennsylvania. This Photochromatic post card is in good condition.
