Description

The Peoples Temple operated two radio stations in Guyana: one in Georgetown, WB6MNH/8R1; and one in Jonestown, WB6MID/8R3. It is important to note that although the calls were assigned to very real individuals, more than likely these same individuals were not the ones who sent out these cards. It is equally unlikely that these individuals made all of these contacts in the first place. Although we cannot be certain that this is true 100% of the time, evidence from tapes of these radio communications indicates that many of the radio contacts were made by individuals other than the QSL card’s namesake.

This is signed by Hariette Sarah Tropp and Albert Touchette.

This was sent from Jonestown few months before the Jonestown Massacre in a final attempt to show that it was a peaceful and wonderful place to live and that everyone was well and happy.

918 people died few months later by the hand of Jim Jones including Al Touchette and Sarah Tropp

Very rare and great postcard with intact stamps and postmark in near mint condition.

Very powerful and historical collectible.
