Confirmations from NHK/Radio Japan were already in my list. However, they related to relays in Singapore and Chile. Nothing from the stations’ land. Luckily enough, the 6085 kHz evening broadcast in Japanese (from Yamata) is not an impossible catch from Europe. I had it last December, at 21.13 UTC, in a week when also Nikkei (internal shortwave service) was well heard in our continent Read more →

After the Camping turmoil, many people wondered how did Family Radio react, also in terms of staff remained to the station. I don’t know who’s in charge of QSLing at the station, but the handwriting on their cards is the same of the era before “the end of the world”. I sent, to the usual e-mail address, a report for the Turkish programme (on 9430 kHz at 17.08 UTC) and for the Urdu Read more →

Voice of Russia’s “50 years to the first manned flight into space” QSL serie is really impressive and evocative. So, I was glad to get another of these cards, confirming two far east relays for this station. Novosibirsk (which I got on 21805 kHz), and Irkutsk (on 17805 kHz), were received during last december, both in English language. Report went to the station through e-mail Read more →

So, looking – as always- to fill the gap, I received them on three different frequencies: two (15240 and 15480 kHz) originating from Meyerton (in South Africa), and the other (11645 kHz) from Moosebrunn (Austria). This broadcaster, having to cover mostly Africa and Middle-East, has not that many relays. However, Read more →

Last summer, I had the chance to receive VOA on 1530 kHz from Sao Tome (altough struggling with “Romania Actualitati”). Reception can be witnessed here, and you can guess how determined I was in looking for a confirmation of it. Fact is, as the most active among you in sending reports will know, that the “central” e-mail address for Voice of America that gave QSL results lately Read more →

Radio Vaticana confirmed my reception report (which was submitted via e-mail) in less than two weeks. The two cards I received (concerning receptions on 3975 and 4050 kHz, in December and June 2011) were kindly anticipated by a message from the Frequencies Department, and are duly completed, including transmitting site and characteristics. So, I learnt that 3975 originates from Read more →
