A nice oversize envelope brought today a confirmation from NHK. The QSL, in the usual high end Nippon Hoso Kyokai style, depicts "Nippon Maru" (Kanagawa Prefecture), and confirms a reception of the Portuguese broadcast to South America, relayed from the Santiago (Chile) transmitting site, at 21.30-22.00 UTC, on 11880 kHz. The reception, that happened on 2nd June 2011, can be witnessed here. The report was sent via e-mail, to the address nhkworld@nhk.jp on last 19th June. So, it took a little more than sixty days to get acknowledgement Considering the envelope brought also an equally stylish card of the station, a Portuguese Service flyer and a global Schedule of Radio Japan, no complain at all!
