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.

Did you ever get one from the VOA via Sri Lanka?

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 Radio Sri Lanka, but you'll have Sri
Lanka QSL'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.
