Well, Voice of Russia did it to me this time...

**GUIANA FRENCH, PRIDNESTROVIE, RUSSIA, Voice of Russia, 9735 AND 9665
AND 15425 kHz, 17 March 2010, 0200z-0300z. Signed "partial" data card
"St. Clement's Church at the Corner;" - For reception report by email
May 18, 2010, in 14 days. I say "partial" data card because - This is
one of those situations where, by describing my receipt of their
station on one frequency from one place in the *actual report*
(Pridnestrovie) but comparing it to signals from two other sites at
the same time (French Guiana and Russia) in the *cover letter,* they
decided to verify *all three* in the same QSL card, without
identifying any one of them at all anywhere in the text.

AAAHHH! So what do I do? All three freqs are identified on the card,
and I am sure I was able to hear all three at the same time (I know I
did not fudge anything) - can I rightfully say that this card covers
all three?

Here's what In intend to do, just to satisfy myself - in the
compartment with this card, I am going to add a note card with the A10
schedule passages that Identify these three locations as transmitter
sites. I don't care what anyone else thinks :-)

Did you specifically ask them to verify the transmitter sites? I've never had
a problem getting the site put on the card, and have had them in the past do 5
or so freq's and sites on one card.

Well, I had asked in the past, and they always included the TX site
(not every station does this). This time I skipped that step,
assuming (perhaps too much) that they would place the TX sites on the
cards - much to my chagrin :-( I won't make that mistake again.

Anyway, the HFCC / Aoki schedules bear out the scheduled transmissions
and their respective sites, except for the mistake they made 3 nights
running where they switched Fr. Guiana to English. For my own
reference, I am placing that information with the card, and one of
these days I will get each of the two relay sites individually (I
already have a P-K card). I know what I heard - so what else matters,
right? :-)

As a followup to this - I contacted NASWA to see how they'd suggest
handling this issue if it were for certification - Gary N. of NASWA
kindly offered to certify the card for all three countries if I
provided a scan of the card and a weblink for the HFCC/Eibi/Aoki
schedules that show that the freqs listed are unique for VoR at those
TX sites. This I will do later today.

Well, I submitted the aforementioned information, and Gary at NASWA
said it was acceptable, that the QSL is good for three countries.
Yay!

FOR ANYONE who actually gives a damn about radio right now...

RUSSIA, Voice of Russia, 13775 kHz via P-K, May 2, 2010 at 0532z.
*Signed full data card "House of Music" from its current architectural
series celebrating 80 years of SWBC - For reception report by mail, in
31 days. VoR is definitely interested in getting RRs and sending QSLs
- not too hard to QSL a quarter of the world's landmass if you just
concentrate on Russia!

Bruce as long as it is 'you' that gives a damn about
Radio and Shortwave Listening that is all that should
truly matter to 'you'.

Let not the actions of others define the 'you' that is "you".

Thanks, I appreciate the sentiment, but that's not the point.

**ALBANIA, Radio Tirana, 7425 kHz, April 17, 2010 during my local
evening (have to check time). Partial data card (date and freq.
only), unsigned but with a handwritten ending "English Section." Very
thin paper stock, picturing an abstract pen drawing of a young woman
in traditional garb. with station logo and words "Albania" and "Radio
Tirana." In airmail envelope with complimentary postcard of the
ancient Butrint Amphitheatre with a handwritten signed note, "Thank
you for writing to us, Best Wishes, Radiso Tirorys (sp)." Received
in 51 days. This was a very tough station to hear and understand,
very weak signal here in WNAm, so I am pretty pleased with this one.

P.S. - It occurs to me that "Radiso Tirorys" might actually be "Radio
Tirana" but it's a tough call - pretty wild penmanship ;-)

CANADA, CKZU, Vancouver, 6160 kHz, signed partial data QSL card
(missing UTC, but lots of extra detail) for June 5, 2010, in 10 days
for report in EE by mail. Simple card in envelope, no extras.
