James Woods, Coordinator. Mr. Woods apologized for the great delay in
answering and stated that they were still busy cleaning up after "Super
Storm Sandy." This is an Emergency Radio Station and is the only one of
its class licensed on 1710 kHz by the FCC, running 10 watts.
The Malaysia QSL was literally a Labor of Hercules! Mr. Ab Rahim
further clarifies what happened with RTV Malaysia:
"First and foremost please accept our apologies there has been no
response from RTM to your previous letters.
Request for QSL verification were previously handled by our colleagues
in the programme department. Around the year 2008 there was a major
revamp and restructuring of our organisational structure that left many
staff confused of what they were actually supposed to do. So late last
year - 2012, our Deputy Director Generale for technical services decided
replies to QSL request be handled by RTM's Technical Department. "
Another QSL that I am extremely grateful for! Now if the Maldives and
Radio Vila Verde in Macao would only come through, but I think those are
write-offs.
