E-mail QSLs can be so unusual and perplexing...but, a verie is a
verie...

AUSTRIA: ORF - Radio Osterreich International, Wien / Moosbrunn,
9820, f/d illegible signed confirmation letter w/pic “Garden of
Mirabell Palace, Salzburg” by airmail in 12 days (via Slovenia) for
report in English & recording by e-mail (Jensen-CA)

This particular TX was during a time of technical difficulty, and all
they did was play their interval signal over and over for an hour
straight. Made ID easy anyway ;-)

Does Austria still broadcast in English?

Yepp - two minute's worth :-D...

6155 R.OESTERREICH INT. 06:10 06:12 .234567 English 300 ND Moosbrunn

The QSL was in English, and at that time, the sked said some English.
This has changed, apparently. Now, the only English (apart from that
2 minute bit) is in their IS.

A welcome one too :-) - BRITISH INDIAN OCEAN TERRITORY, Armed Forces
Network Diego Garcia, 12759U, 0140 UTC, in 20 days by regular mail for
reception report in EE by mail to AFN - Riverside, California, USA

Also got one of those friendly e-mails from Radio Fly, confirming that
an e-mailed reception report (follow-up to a mailed report, possibly
lost) was adequate to generate a QSL card when they get them printed
up...but not sure how to count this one. Will wait and see how things
shape up at Ok Tedi before I count my chickens. (JENSEN-USA)
