In the QSL serial, a narrative unfolds, spanning a century of the wireless emergency networks of amateur radio. It is a story told through images of disaster and invasion, conveyed by QSL cards; notational documents mailed by post to confirm radio contact. ‘Q’ codes and other design and alphanumeric elements, are the argot of QSL cards, used as the shorthand of radio operators. Cultural fears of an invading outsider are observed through various incidents encountered by the semi-fictional “M49 Emergency Response Unit.” The narrative corresponds this apprehension to the integration of technology into all facets of human existence.
