A brief email to QSL Port Said Radio on 2187.5 kHz. I received the station in February acknowledging a DSC test message from a tanker Dilos anchored in Port Said Harbour. Initially I tried to reach out to the Port Said Harbour authorities via psp@portsaid.gov.eg , but without success. Rob (IZEROCDM) at DX Fanzine was so kind to share the portsaid.radio@te.eg address that delivered him the QSL. Thank you so much Rob!
This is only my 2nd QSL from Egypt. I don’t know how many reports I sent to Radio Cairo… but they were all to no avail.
The other Egyptian QSL I have is from the Middle East News Agency (MENA). I vividly remember how in 1993 I built a small RTTY decoder using an OpAmp (918?). It ran with software on the first PC I owned, an IBM PS/2 with an 80286 Intel CPU (10 MHz). With only one purpose… to get a QSL from my 181st radio country.
Hi Peter, I am surprised to learn that you don’t have a QSL from ERTU in Egypt. I and other DXers got a full data e-QSL for ERTU’s MW transmission by sending a report to: freqmeg@yahoo.com – A few months ago this info appeared in DX Fanzine: NMA Al-Quran Al-Karim, 864 kHz: F/D e-QSL in 1 day. E-mail address: freqmeg@yahoo.com

Hi Antonello. Yes when I resumed the hobby last year it was one of the addresses I sent a report to. But without result. I will try again, thanks for encouraging me to do so!
