QSL Mondoradio TuttiFrutti 92,6 MHz

July 25, 2026 / Peter Reuderink / 0 Comments

Mondoradio Tuttifrutti (also styled as Mondo Radio Tutti Frutti) is a local radio station based in Tricase, in the province of Lecce in Puglia’s Salento region, Italy. Founded in 1988 by a group of young people the station distinguished itself through active involvement in local musical and cultural events and collaboration with venues in the area. Its name “Tuttifrutti” is explained as meaning “for everyone”, reflecting a format aimed at a broad audience.

Mondoradio Tuttifrutti is a regional station in Puglia, the “heel of the Italian boot”

Today Mondoradio Tuttifrutti remains an active local broadcaster serving the Salento area, transmitting on FM frequencies that include 107.5 MHz in the city of Lecce zone and a more powerful (25 kW) transmitter at 92.6 MHz. The latter frequency is the one I heard. My report was confirmed with a friendly fully detailed email.

QSL Mad Radio Athens 106.2 MHz

July 22, 2026 / Peter Reuderink / 2 Comments

Despite best efforts, my scoring percentage on getting Sporadic E receptions QSL-ed was low this year. And thus I am already pleased with a friendly “Thank You” email reply. So imagine my joy when I received a fully detailed e-QSL card for my reception of MAD Radio 106.2 MHz from Athens, Greece.

Mr. Nikos Milonas, Program Director sent me the e-QSL, logo’s (like the one above) and a nice email:

Mad Radio 106.2 (also known as MAD Radio) is a popular youth-oriented radio station in Athens, Greece, owned and operated by the MAD media group. It focuses on mainstream international pop, dance, and hits (roughly 90% international, 10% Greek), targeting younger listeners with high-energy programming, viral trends, and live shows.

Below my reception in pretty good quality of MAD Radio including a Target Sport Club commercial:

The station on 106.2 FM originated as Diva FM. In the mid-2000s (around 2005), following Greek media licensing and ownership changes, it was acquired by the Kouris family (linked to MAD) and renamed Mad Radio.

The broader MAD brand began with the launch of MAD TV (the first Greek music channel) on June 6, 1996. It grew into a major music and entertainment hub, including TV channels, events like the MAD Video Music Awards (MAD VMA), digital platforms, and retail. MAD Radio 106.2 is a key part of this ecosystem, extending the brand’s focus on youth culture, music, and lifestyle.

While most internet sources indicate that MAD Radio is broadcasting on 106.2 MHz only (with 40 kW), FMscan.org shows 4 additional transmitting sites, albeit with low (<2 kW) power.

Pop Shop Radio Canada Day QSL 9670 kHz

July 10, 2026 / Peter Reuderink / 0 Comments

Having lived in Canada for 4 years I still remember Canada Day celebrations. So I had to tune in to the special Canada Day program of Pop Shop Radio via 9670 kHz, Channel 292 in Germany. My reception report was awarded with a nice eQSL reflecting the spirit of a typical Canada Day event.

Canada Day is seen as the birthday of Canada. It marks the anniversary of Canadian Confederation — the day in 1867 when the British North America Act united three separate colonies (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Province of Canada) into a single country called the Dominion of Canada. Originally referred to as Dominion Day it was renamed into Canada Day in 1982. It symbolizes the birth of modern Canada as a self-governing nation, although full independence came gradually later.

QSL Radius FM Minsk 72.11 MHz

July 7, 2026 / Peter Reuderink / 0 Comments

My first OIRT Band QSL for Radius FM, broadcasting from Minsk, Belarus on 72.11 MHz with 9 kW. Via office(at)radiusfm.by I received a fully detailed email in Dutch:

QSL email, in Dutch (!) for my reception of Radius FM, Belarus on 72.1 MHz

Radius FM was launched on July 12, 2003, in Minsk, Belarus. Despite it’s commercial contemporary youthful style it is is part of the Belarusian National State Television and Radio Company. As such it falls under the umbrella of the state media structure, which is directly overseen by the Office of the President of Belarus. This explains its extensive nationwide coverage and status as a major network. The Minsk transmitter on 72.1 MHz is the only outlet in the OIRT band, all other frequencies are in the regular FM band.

Today, more than two decades after its debut, Radius FM continues as a leading hit radio brand, blending current international and local pop music with digital streaming, a mobile app, and strong social media presence. It has evolved while staying true to its core identity as “the wave of top music.”

QSL NDB LOS Losinj 429 kHz

June 18, 2026 / Peter Reuderink / 0 Comments

QSL for NDB LOS Losinj on 429 kHz. The beacon is associated with Losinj Airport in Croatia, a small airport, mainly in use for smaller private airplanes and taxi services. It is situated on Losinj Island, and definitely one of the easier to receive beacons here in the Netherlands.

LOS Losinj is a pretty easy to catch NDB. Pskov recording.

As with the other beacons from the Istria region my reception was confirmed by Mr. Birkić, head of Istria/Kvarner ATC at Croatia Control.

Radio Laikos 87.6 MHz

June 11, 2026 / Peter Reuderink / 0 Comments

With the sporadic E conditions in the past few days, Radio Laikos, or 87.6 Laikos from Thessaloniki, Greece, could be received well here in Coevorden. One evening I could listen to them for almost an hour, with wonderful Greek music and occasionally the typical Laikos jingle, as you can hear in the recording below:

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to send them a report via email as it bounced. So I sent a message via Facebook instead. Only to be quite disappointed that the response was nothing more than a thumbs up… it is what it is these days I’m afraid.

Radio Laikos specialises in λαϊκό τραγούδι , which translates as laïko – popular, and tragoúdi – song. Or: Greek folk-pop music. So I guess the name Laikos refers to that as well. That one year of Greek language lessons I took in grammar school does pay off😉.

The station is described as playing “the best Greek repertoire with love and care,” appealing to all ages — from nostalgic older listeners to younger fans of modern Greek music. Since it launch is 2001 it has developed into one of the top-rated local stations in Thessaloniki. And I can see why!

The picture above shows the White Tower of Thessaloniki. I vividly remember how during the height of the Macedonia naming dispute in the 1990s, unofficial souvenir banknotes depicting the White Tower of Thessaloniki were printed in North Macedonia (then Republic of Macedonia). It sparked intense anger in Greece, as the tower was viewed as exclusively Greek cultural heritage.

QSL Radio Capital 95.5 MHz Rocca di Papa

June 8, 2026 / Peter Reuderink / 0 Comments

A nice fully detailed QSL email from Radio Capital for my reception of their signal on 95.5 MHz from the powerful 50 kW transmitter at Rocca di Papa.

Radio Capital is a prominent Italian national private radio station known for its mix of classic hits (primarily from the 1970s–1990s), adult contemporary music, news, talk shows, and infotainment. Its slogan is “Solo bella musica” (“Only beautiful music”) as you can hear in my MP3 recording:

It is owned by Elemedia and shares sister stations like Radio DeeJay and m2o. Two stations I have received also, but never managed to get a QSL from.

QSL NDB BRZ Breza 400 kHz

June 5, 2026 / Peter Reuderink / 0 Comments

A QSL for NDB BRZ Breza, the “sister” beacon of NDB RI Rijeka. This approach and landing beacon is situated on the opposite end of the Rijeka Airport runway in Croatia. As with the other beacons in Istria such as NDB PLA and KAZ for Pula Airport, Mr. Birkić, head of Istria/Kvarner ATC was so kind to confirm my report.

Pskov recording of NDB BRZ Breza on 400 kHz

This beacon shows up nicely on Googlemaps, and the funny thing is that is actually situated close to the city of Rijeka, while NDB Rijeka is only close to the airport.

QSL NDB RI Rijeka 289 kHz

June 3, 2026 / Peter Reuderink / 0 Comments

Rijeka Airport in Croatia has two approach and landing NDBs: NDB BRZ Breza to the north west and NDB RI Rijeka to the south east, as can been seen on the excellent Skyvector website.

As with the NDB PLA and KAZ for Pula Airport, Mr. Birkić, head of Istria/Kvarner ATC was so kind to confirm my report.

While the city of Rijeka is situated on the mainland of Croatia, the airport and NDB RI are located on the island Krk.

QSL NDB PLA Pula 351.5 kHz

May 31, 2026 / Peter Reuderink / 2 Comments

Quite a few people will know Pula as a favorite holiday destination. A 2500 year old city on the tip of the the Istria peninsula, Croatia. And as a holiday destination attracts traffic, Pula has it own airport. And as airports still have NDBs I was able to receive NDB PLA Pula on 351.5 kHz. Mr. Mario Birkić, head of Istria/Kvarner ATC was so kind to confirm my report.
