The wonderful world of listening to the radio

QSL ZSC Cape Town Radio 16804.5 kHz

eQSL ZSC Cape Town Radio on 16804.5 kHz

QSL for ZSC Cape Town Radio 16804.5 kHz. Already in the 80-ies I tried this one when I received them in CW. No luck. More recently I tried again to get a QSL for their DSC transmissions. No luck. Then I got a contact email of Mr. Khan from Artur at Maresme DX, but even that took a 2nd attempt. But hey, here it is, a nice f/d eQSL showing the Table Mountain and the city of Cape Town, South Africa.

The call that I received as logged by ZSC itself: connect with MMSI 229989000, which is container ship CMA CGM RHONE on its way from Miami to Port Klang Malaysia.

And that was not all. The QSL was accompanied with a friendly email, a comprehensive letter describing the history of Telkom maritime services in South Africa, and a 4 page e-brochure:

    Congratulations Peter.
    Cape Town seems to be taking its time. I also had to insist several times.

      Thank you Néstor. You are correct. But the bigger my surprise was with all the details and info.

      No Joé… I haven’t done much USB listening since I resumed the hobby. So I have no clue. Sorry.
