Well, here's a little surprise...

After I received my February QSL on March 3 from R. Prague in only ten
days, I shot them another message quickly to thank them for their
rapid response, and to give them just a brief "attaboy" for their
excellent signal on that day at about 0227z on 7355 kHz. *I don't
think I included any program details at all, just a report of a good
signal.

So here comes another QSL, also in very short order, for that
incredibly brief report. *This one has a photo of Czech Poet Karel
Hynek Macha.

It pays to be nice, and R. Prague is very generous with it's QSLs :-)
Now, let's not take advantage, OK?

Oh, Lordy - they sent me ANOTHER one for the very same report that I
didn't really make the first time! I am awash in R. Prague QSLs!

A little Radio sunshine in the midst of the dark political intrigue...

Romania. *"The Fortress of Saschiz-Keisd," handwritten partial data on

form e-mail on RRI's website. Super fast service, they get a thank
you from me.
