Email Addresses for QSL Reports?
Does anyone know of a good directory or list of email addresses/
physical addresses where reception reports can be sent? Some stations make it easy to find, but others (i.e. NHK) don't seem to publish an address where QSLs can be sent. |

The QRZ database has all their addresses. |

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. Bruce Jensen |

Bruce Jensen 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. |

Hey, Doc - if NHK is what you want, try this online form... http://www.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/englis...act/index.html If you just ask them, they'll probably tell you exactly how to get a QSL. Bruce |

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. |

Thanks, Bruce. Shortwave stations is indeed what I was looking for (this being r.r.*shortwave*, after all.) Kind of snarky... I transmit narrow bandwidth digital signals around the world on "shortwave". I have a 45 Watt transmitter and a negative gain antenna. Call it 35 Watts ERP.

Radio New Zealand is like this, for example, although for a postal RR and $2 US they will send a QSL card. Bruce Jensen 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 - - Show 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!). Bruce- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text -- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - 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. dxAce Michigan USA |

Email Addresses for QSL Reports?

Does anyone know of a good directory or list of email addresses/ physical addresses where reception reports can be sent? Some stations make it easy to find, but others (i.e. NHK) don't seem to publish an address where QSLs can be sent. One interesting thing I did just discover - and I would not have expected it - is that V. Russia, on it's "contact" webpage, provides a mailing label that anyone in the world can use to send them letters FREE. It's an odd label, it seems to route business mail through the Netherlands, but I have no reason right now to doubt its usefulness. Here is a link or two: http://english.ruvr.ru/contacts.html and the address label they provide: ftp://ftp.vor.ru/Video/DutchSpecial_env200807.pdf Bruce Jensen |

They say that reception reports can be submitted at their normal contact page: https://www.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/engli...act/index.html and that they will respond with a QSL card. I already sent them one by snailmail, but you may wish to try the e-mail route. Bruce Jensen |

Most hams will gladly send you a QSL card. *The QRZ database has all their addresses. FWIW, I have submitted QSL requests, with return postage included, to two hams I heard the other night during contest calls (Slovakia & Argentina). I will report back any positive results as they come in. Bruce Jensen |
