Although there were four amatuer radio license holders in Peoples Temple, only two kinds of QSL cards were made for 2 of those calls. One style is the "Tri-panel" card, and the other is what I call the "map" card. You will find examples below.

The majority of QSL that I have see bear the call
WB6MID/8R3. That callsign was issued to Albert Touchette.
The other "Guyana" callsign was WB6MNH/8R1
and that call belonged to Paula Adams, who lived in Georgetown at the Temple's Guyana HQ.
An  example of her card can be seen below.

All of the QSL cards used a standard "report" format on the reverse side. This is where contact information was written.
Below the contact info there was a space for the operator to write in some kind of comment. As I pointed out in my article about QSL cards, these comments were often cookie-cutter in nature; the same 4 or 5 statements used over and over. Examples of these "blurbs" appear on the
"blurbs" page.
