You may also wish to be aware that some stations are quite eager to

RadioSriLanka.

Did you ever get one from the VOA viaSriLanka?

No, but a darn good idea - I intend to try whomever I can - VOA, DW,
or anyone else who still relays there - ASAP.

That's the way to do it! You can always try for RadioSriLanka, but you'll haveSri
LankaQSL'd (veried, for those in Glendale).

DW in English was
blasting in here from both Rwanda and SL a few days back, so they
should be easy, if they still verify. *RSL just burned my grits - I
was so proud of getting them, sent them detailed 1/2 hour to 1-hour
reports three times, each time with return postage, each time with a
follow-up by e-mail - not a peep. *I hope the tsunami got 'em (not
really!).

I s'pose you're right. *Until recently I've been something of a
purist, regarding a home station as the most valid - but a
transmitter's a transmitter, and a country's a country, right?

Absolutely. Get 'em whilst you can, and worry about the details (home service transmission,
etc.) later on.

Border" documentary commemorating 20 years of the "Fall of the Wall."
