Non-responsive Shortwave broadcasters
Reception reports with no responce yet:
I think BBC didn't send their QSL Card again,
ReplyDeleteqsl-shortwave.blogspot.com
Hello, Sefrizal and thank you for your comment! I know BBC no longer provide QSL cards and that's why I send reception reports for their broadcasts directly to the relay stations. I hope they will send me confirmations soon. =))
DeleteThe most responsive relay station of BBC is the 'Ascension Island relay'
ReplyDeleteHave yo try to log Indonesian Shortwave station?
Which particular station? Voice Of Indonesia? They promised me a QSL card a week and a half ago. =))
Deletesome stations want to receive reports with detailed program details,
ReplyDeletewill be better if you could make brief recording of reception in mp3 format (2-3 minutes), and upload the file, inform the station the link to your file.
Yes, I ALWAYS provide detailed program details and comments, and enclose a return postage. 73! :)
Deleteand more : be patient
ReplyDeleteWhere do you send The Reception Report to Radio exterior de España??
ReplyDeletefernando.almarza@rtve.es Here is the address, thank you and 73! :)
Delete2 questions: Radio Exterior de España Send you a QSL, a Letter, o a e-mail?? and where do you send the Reception Report a BBC World Service, English (via Seychelles)
ReplyDeleteHello, nanito100 and thanks for the comment. REE frequency manager Fernando Almarza (fernando.almarza@rtve.es) verifies reception reports to his personal email address with paper QSL cards by post. The address of BBC Indian Ocean Relay Station is the following:
DeleteBBC Indian Ocean Relay Station,
PO Box 448,
Victoria, Mahe,
Seychelles
For RT Tchadienne, try this:
ReplyDeleteMr. Dingam Toudji:
fils_ngana@yahoo.fr
For BBC Oman Relay, try this:
Mr. Afrah Al Orimi
opsaseela@yahoo.com
For Voice of Korea, you MUST use this address:
Voice of Korea - Radio
Pyongyang,
Democratic People’s Republic of Korea
Hello! Yes, I tried this email and I was chatting for a while with Mr Dingam and he gave me a more secure postal address to send my reception report with return postage. But my letter had probably been lost. Thanks for the other addresses.
ReplyDeleteNice information. As for BBC transmitter sites verification was not so tough earlier, but now they seems difficult. Seychelles, Thailand, Singapore, Oman, Ascension verified for me. Cyprus is difficult perhaps my report went to wrong address. Never tried Rampisham, Wofferton or Skelton sites.

Hi! I regularly visit your blog to check for updates! It's awesome. By the way, I'll try to send my reception reports for every BBC relay station including return postage. I'll try Ascension (South Atlantic Relay Station), Thailand (Asian Relay Station), Oman (Middle East Relay Station), Singapore (Far Eastern Relay Station). I already sent a report to the Cyprus station with an IRC coupon inside. BBC transmissions from Meyerton may be verified via Sentech. BBC has also broadcasts from Kimjae (South Korea) and Al-Dhabbaya (United Arab Emirates). Do they have any addresses? What about the UK sites? Have anyone succeeded in veryfing them in the past years?
DeleteKBS WORLD will verify BBC transmission from Kimjae. Complete their on-line form at KBS web site. A KBS WORLD QSL will be issued, but will not mention BBC on the card.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting list. You will find lots of QSL-pages on the web, giving details about their cards, additional material and addresses in a positive way. But now I can compare to my own internal "black list" and I see some similarities here. BBC has stopped decades ago, but there is still a little chance by contacting them via their local email addresses. WYFR did reply after writing to their South East Asian department via snail a few years ago. North Korea is very cooperative so far, but indeed Radio SAWA, Farda, Swoboda, RFE, RL and also VOA do not respond anymore due to the large number of reports. It is a matter of luck if you are going to receive one card, even now after the re-structure of the IBB / BBG system. Writing to the management is an option, try the governors bord. Most of the relay stations have stopped issueing qsl cards couple of months ago. China depends, English and Russian section work out quite well, German and France do not even reply any longer. What I tried and never succeeded in was Macedonia and Montenegro. Also no use in contacting Faroe Kringvarp, sent them dozens of letters since years, never gotten hold of any reaction, in which way. Radio France, Radio Vatican, Radio Maria, Radio Catalunya and most other stations deliver e-QSL. That might be an option for those who want to have something colourful to print out and not only some black white text.
