Christmas and New Year’s wishes from around the world

It is always nice to receive Christmas wishes from stations you sent a report to. But it was very nice to get quite a few wishes from friends that I enjoy this hobby with. Thank you all for following my blog, and once again, all the best for 2026!

Below a selection of some of the e-cards I received, plus a very special email to start with:

Christmas wish from YvesZor at Bangkok Maritime Radio. I have never received Chrismas wishes from a utility station, so that’s a first!
Nestor Fischetto… thanks for all your support with questions about radio stations from Argentina, Nestor!
Key Channel Radio, Thank you Massimo Rossi!
Ruqui Radio from Jordan Alcolea (Ruqui DX)
Radio Taiwan International… for my review of their test transmissions in German and French
And of course, the Benelux DX Club

QSL RTI Tamsui 15145 / 11995 kHz

Like last year the German service of Radio Taiwan International ran a few test transmissions to find the best frequencies for their summer broadcasts from Tamsui. My reception report to deutsch@rti.org.tw was awarded with a beautiful QSL that arrived 6 weeks later by mail.

QSL Radio Taiwan Intl from Tamsui

In June this year the German service of Radio Taiwan executed some test transmissions to determine the best frequencies broadcasting from Tamsui

“Sie Hören ein 10-minutige Testsendung von Radio Taiwan International…. von der Sendeanlage Tamsui”.

And it made sense for them to perform these tests because their signal on 11995 kHz was excellent, whereas on 9545 kHz the quality was average at best. Worse, on 7250 kHz I didn’t manage to receive them at all…

My reception reports were awarded with an “old school” paper QSL… which is fitting for an “old school” request for listeners to report on reception quality! Thank you RTI!
