Most hams will gladly send you a QSL card. *The QRZ database has all
their addresses.

Good info, but I think he's looking for SW radio station addresses.

I agree, some stations make it easy, some more difficult. *WRTH and
Passport used to have physical and e-mail addresses, but of course
Passport is now "on hiatus". *A word of caution - some stations that
accept e-mail reception reports will also send back only e-mail
veries....no physical QSL card, if that is what you seek
specifically. *Radio New Zealand is like this, for example, although
for a postal RR and $2 US they will send a QSL card.

Thanks, Bruce. Shortwave stations is indeed what I was looking for
(this being r.r.*shortwave*, after all.) So far I've only sent in one
report (China Radio International, by email) and they responded by
mail. I've been meaning to pick up the 2009 version of passport
anyway, so it looks like this just gives me another reason.- Hide quoted text -

You may also wish to be aware that some stations are quite eager to
send QSLs, some just won't even bother. *In the latter category, I
have had no luck from RAI Italy (now apparently not on the air) and
Radio Sri Lanka. *I understand Voice of Nigeria is also a non-
responder, although, I just sent them one. *We will see...

To your own efforts, best of luck! *Good info on the CRI - thanks.
Was your CRI QSL for a transmitter in China or one of their relays?

Bruce

The QSL that I sent in was for 6005 kHz, which appears to be their
Canadian relay station. They responded immediately by email, and a
short time later I received an envelope with a postcard, a CRI
calendar for the new year, and a few other very small items. I emailed
in a QSL for Radio Turkey last night; I guess I'll see if and how they
respond.- Hide quoted text -

By Canada, I presume you mean via RCI's Sackville, New Brunswick
transmitter. CRI also uses Radio Habana Cuba and quite a few others
to get it's signal out. Here on the West Coast, relays are not very
critical - CRI comes across the big pond just fine on it's own. NHK,
however, loves those relays, too, for some reason.

A clear audio of Turkey (from Turkey) is always very tough here on the
West Coast. I think the substantially polar path may be a big part of
the reason why.

I just mailed out a couple of reception reports this AM for Radyo
Pilipinas and Radio Vaticana - we'll see what comes back. Another
pair of stations who play coy with their e-mail addresses.
