I'm so excited! I finally got my first QSL card, with a picture of a
technician working on a curtain array on the front--VOA broadcasting from
Tinang, Philippines, 15290 kHz on Feb. 17, 2005 2241-2250 UTC. Also
received a program guide, a page listing English language broadcasts, two
bumper stickers, two refrigerator magnets, and a calender with pictures of
various locations in the USA.

Received in Calgary, ABwith a lowly Degen 1103 (also could receive on my
ATS-803a at the same time), with a 20 foot horizontal wire antenna located
in my detached garage and away from interference.

I know VOA is a powerhouse broadcaster and this is no big deal, but with
all the loot they sent this is still cool. With the $3.75 postage and the
contents, it probably cost VOA about $6 to send this stuff out.

So, does VOA QSL to US locations?
