I was wondering what others have done in trying to QSL North Korea. I

can't send it from the U.S. directly. Passport to World Band Radio
gave the name of someone I believe in Germany who could forward a
letter for you. Has anyone done this? I could also ask someone in
another country that I know to send it.
Looking forward to here others experiences.

You CAN send it from the U.S., however it will likely be intercepted
along the way, and you'll wind up getting anti North Korean letters or
literature from either South Korea or Japan, as Passport alludes to.
What I did to verify North Korea was to Send the report to the English
Section of Radio Beijing (now China Radio International) in a separate
envelope addressed to Radio Pyongyang (now Voice of Korea) along with a
letter to the folks at Radio Beijing explaining the situation with the
mail, and asking them if they would kindly forward the reception report
to Pyongyang.
Of course I put a $ or two in the envelope for the kind individual at CRI
who will forward your report.
A few weeks after following the above procedure, I received my QSL from
Pyongyang.
I hope this helps you to get your QSL.
You mean a letter from the US to North Korea will not be delivered? Even
during the height of the cold war, a shortwave listener could expect a
QSL letter to be delivered to any communist nation. The letter might be
opened along the way, but it would be delivered to the final address.
Chances are, it will be intercepted on it's way to N. Korea, trust me I know!
I've got the results (the anti North propaganda), several of them.
Who is intercepting the letters and sending the propaganda? Does the
USPS condone this or do they just pretend to be unaware of it?
I don't know who is intercepting the letters. Some are intercepted in the South,
some in Japan. Those obviously opposed to the N. Korean regime.
Might I suggest you write to your Congressman or Congresswoman and ask them!
Meanwhile, if you want a QSL from N. Korea, it's obviously best to follow a
circuitous route.
