IRIB VOIRI - QSL card

Sent a reception report to IRIB for their English language broadcast on 15525kHz for the Indian subcontinent. Got a reply a few hours later:
Dear Georgi Bancov ,
Many thanks for your kind email and attention. We are so happy to have  a new listener. We will send you a QSL card, 2012 calendar and some other products as soon as possible.
We wish you a blessed new year.  I also want you to extend my warmest regards and greetings to other members of your family. I hope that this year will be a great year for you and your family.
Your comments will help us improve our programs.
Please keep in touch with us
Best regards,
English radio staff

All India Radio QSLs

I have not received any QSL cards from All India Radio emailed reports yet, but I'm going to send another by post on Monday. By the way, I got very interested in the AIR domestic services, while scanning the 60m. broadcasting band earlier today on my remote location in the village of Patreshko, high in the mountain (700 metres), far away from any local QRM. Most of the AIR stations popped up with strong signal, playing beautiful traditional music from the Indian subcontinent. I'll try to verify as many transmitter sites as I can (it would be interesting for you to know, that there are 26 shortwave transmitter sites in India), including Gangtok, Chennai, Guwahati, which I observed today, and of course the ones of the General Overseas Service of AIR.
