As some of you know, I have been in contact with a VOA official concerning QSL's. The VOA had one person responsible for QSLing and that person passed away suddenly in 2005. I have in the past three weeks received two QSL's from the VOA for the same report. One was sent to the WRTH snail mail address in October, a follow up was sent to the email address on the web site in December. As mentioned, both have now been verified with a card specific to the Sao Tome transmitter site (the QSL depicts the antenna array there from an aerial photo), along with a calendar and rather large magazine style program guide.
I would recommend sending polite follow up reports via either method at this juncture, or, if reception is of an more easily heard relay site, a new report. I would emphasize that everyone remain polite and not criticize the VOA for not responding to prior reports. Always remember that QSL's are a courtesy and are never a "right" for DXers. I would allow 4-6 weeks for a response. Russell Lay Nags Head, NC ---[Start Commercial]--------------------- World Radio TV Handbook 2006 is out.
