I just received an email from the Voice of Russia regarding a reception report
that I sent yesterday for their 0100 transmission on 9665.

This transmission is via Grigoriopol which is in the sort of breakaway region of
Pridnestrovie which under NASWA rules counts as a seperate country rather than
Moldova.

VOR indicates that a QSL will be sent and states that my report is correct.

This will be my 223rd NASWA country QSL'd (veried, for those in Glendale).

A happy day!

For those interested, the current NASWA country list can be had by going he

Oh, it's been beat for certain, there are folks out there who have 240 +
countries using the NASWA list.

I'm a mere piker. Wish I'd stuck with the hobby through the 70's, but I was busy
doing other things at the time. I got back into it around 1982 or so.

I didn't go to the one in Montreal in '82 but did attend one there some years
later. I think the first one I attended was Milwaukee in '85?

kind of
dropped out of SWL'ing. Was it held at the Radio Canada building ?
