Although we really didn’t hear any complaints, a friend recently pointed out that the site doesn’t look right on his mobile phone. We checked on our phone and we had to agree. We now have a separate presentation of the site specifically for mobile devices. Please use the link above to switch to the mobile version.

This website is in memory of my grandfather, Thomas "Tom" Russell Gentry. He was one of the first Amateur Radio Operators, getting his license in the early 1920s, and actively broadcasting around the world until his death in 1979.
This site includes his collection of QSL cards from all of his contacts from around the world (a collection that exceeds 5,700 cards), along with a collection of pictures his fellow "hams" sent him of their "rigs", and the pictures he collected while with the Army Air Corps.
If you would like to use these images for any purpose, please contact me at DonRetzlaff@gmail.com.
Select an option in the menu above to display content. When viewing the individual QSL cards, click on a thumbnail to view a full-size version of the card.
