This is absolutely incredible! Two verifications from Ecuador the same day! Yesterday I found a new email address to GRD and sent a reminder of my reception one year ago.

Thank you Vicky for a really nice mail!

Radio Superior Machala 890

It was a great surprise when Maria Chero of Radio Superior de Machala replied to a report from 2007. She writes " Bueno, mi nombre es María Chero, soy la secretaria de esta empresa... y tuve la suerte de que a mis manos llegue su reporte..." and recommends me to listen to http://www.radioliderinternacional.com/. Thank you for a very nice QSL, Maria!

JOJB NHK2 Kanazawa 1386


This station was logged Nov 11 at 1320 when all NHK2 stations give a local identification. I uploaded a file to my homepage and made a link at their contact page. Mauno Ritola in Finland told me how to find the contact forms. Today I found a letter with a QSL-card in my letter box. Rather strange that this letter found its way to Bonässund. (I will use a instead of ä in the future).

V/s was Manager Toshitake Ishii!

It was a real surprise Nov 13 when WDOD surfaced above CIWW for some minutes.

Thank you Danny and Marge (who answered my call).
