QSL DRM 3

QSL Verification Cards

QSL card information shows broadcaster, frequency, transmitter location and how many days it took from e-mailing the reception report to receiving the QSL card/letter in the post. Note that public holidays are not excluded from the days total.

QSL cards are shown as they were received rather than in chronological order of the reception report. Apart from RTL and B5 Aktuell all reception reports were for broadcasts in English, broadcasts were targeted at Europe unless otherwise stated.

The receiver is a Winradio G303i PCI card and the aerial is either 3 metre wire indoors or 4 metre external wire connected via a balun.
