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?



Damnit, that was supposed to be a new topic, not part of the military radio
thread.
