[HCDX] QSL Report for Al Muick, Week ending October 1 2011
BRASIL, Radio Nacional da Amazonia, 11780, no data "thank you for your
report letter" in 30 days for Portuguese report and US $3.00 sent via
airmail. Letter came back via "Registered Priority" mail, and my report
and $3.00 was returned. Wow. V/s. Luciana Couto, Coordinadora de la
Radio Nacional da Amazonia. Letter was on letter head showing coverage
maps of both shortwave frequencies, and I was invited to tune in live
via the internet and further enjoy their programs. Check this out!:
The reply was written in SPANISH! Go figure....
HONG KONG, RTHK Radio 3, 567 kHz, frequency-only "Hong Kong Harbour and
FM Transmitting Mast" in 565 days for English report, and US $3 return
postage. 30 days after follow-up via registered mail with another US $3
which was returned. This station was heard at my listening post on
Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan. Accompanying letter from Mrs. Elsa Ng
(for the Director of Broadcasting) apologizes for the delay but states
my initial report was never received. (see comment below - Al)
USA, WBCQ The Planet, 9330, f/d "The Planet" postcard in 32 days for US
$1 and English report via first-class mail. V/s. Allan H. Weiner
USA, WBT 1110 kHz, Charlotte, North Carolina, f/d logo and coverage map
card in 7 days for first-class stamp and English report. V/s illegible,
but report was addressed to Chief Engineer.
USA, WHO 1040 kHz, Des Moines, Iowa, date/frequency logo card in 8 days
for English report and first-class stamp sent vis first-class mail. No
V/s and returned the reception report.
So it seems my report to RTHK was another one of the victims of the Army
Post Office mailings at Kandahar Airfield. As the count increases in
this matter, I am becoming very disappointed in the APO. Perhaps it was
military intelligence folks that snapped up the mail addressed to
foreign places, but then one would imagine that I would have heard
something about it by now. Also of note is the fact that this
particular APO is run by civilian contractors.
There seem to be a few stations issuing QSLs and then just sending the
report back with the QSL. Is anyone else experiencing this? Perhaps
they scan them and digitally store things these days. I wish I would
have had such luxuries during my days as a CE.
I hope next week brings even more results!
