The wonderful world of listening to the radio

QSL Antenne Niedersachsen 105.7 MHz

March 8, 2023 / / 0 Comments

When I’m travelling I like to bring my small Grundig G6 Aviator with me to do a quick check of the bands. During a stay in the province of Drenthe I was able to listen to Antenne Niedersachsen, Germany, just across the border. Fortunately they still use traditional QSL cards to confirm reception reports.
Antenna Niedersachsen started in 1990 and is, after Radio FFN, the 2nd oldest private station in Niedersachsen. They changed their name a couple of times to avoid confusion with other stations, but since 2013 they are back to Antenna Niedersachsen.

QSL Radio Oltenia Craiova 1314 kHz

I was surprised to receive Radio Oltenia Craiova in pretty good quality here in the Netherlands, despite their low power (15 kW) on 1314 kHz. My report was answered with a very polite email from the English Service of Radio Romania International. Not sure if this will deliver a QSL Radio Oltenia Craiova though…. Maybe the station will respond directly.
Craiova by the way is the capital of the Oltenia region in south west Romania. The region has a great history. It was part of Walachia with Vlad Dracula as its most famous prince.

QSL Voice of Turkey 12035 kHz

The Voice of Turkey is one of the few governmental broadcasters left offering an international service in a variety of languages. And they still send out beautiful QSL cards. Last week I received this one for my reception report of their English program on 12035 kHz.

QSL Kilrock 1287 kHz

Kilrock is a low power medium wave station (LPAM) operating from the village of ‘s Gravendeel, southwest of the city of Dordrecht, the Netherlands. The village is located on the banks of the tidal river “Dordtsche Kil”. So now you know where the station name comes from.
But Kilrock also sounds like Kilroy. “Kilroy was here” was graffiti drawn by American troops in World War II. The text was often accompanied by a man looking over a wall… as in the Kilrock QSL, which is one of my favourites.

QSL Radio Lenta 1557 kHz

Radio Lenta, Lithuania can be heard on 1557 kHz. With frequent IDs as “Nasha Lenta” (Our Band) it is broadcasting information in Russian. The Lithuanian RTV centre was so kind to send a confirmation within a day, but they are not the content owner.
A Dutch foundation “Next Level Initiatives” is operating here with permission from the Dutch “Commissariaat voor de Media”. According to radiovisie.eu : “There is no political motive or government involvement. The sole purpose of the station is to provide uncensored, verified information to Russia and Belarus.”

QSL Radio Free Asia Tinian

Radio Free Asia issued a new QSL card to celebrate the Chinese Year of the Rabbit. I received this QSL for my reception of their Tibetan program on 12125 kHz in January this year. Also got a leaflet explaining their mission “Bringing free press to closed societies”. The transmitter is located on the tiny island of Tinian, which is part of the Northern Mariana Islands.
