"It's not true I had nothing on, I had the radio on" - Marilyn Monroe
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.
Today was a slow day, I’m the middle of an NDB “contest” that doesn’t bring much sofar…(more about that tomorrow). So time to dig into my QSL collection for something special! I believe this is my tiniest QSL. Oh irony, it is from one of the biggest countries in the world: China! Funny fact: it came in a regular sized envelope!
In those days maritime stations were broadcasting CW markers which made long distance reception relatively easy despite limited transmitter power.
