Today, March 13, 2025, I could hear weak but relatively quiet mediumwave signals from Asia in Salzburg:
1098 1515 TWN Radio Taiwan International Chinese Channel, Kouhu 9270 km 1143 1700 TWN Taiwan Ch¸ Yuyeh Kuangpo Tientai, Baisha 9224 km 1206 1815 PHL DWAN Radyo Ng Bagong Pilipinas, Valenzuela/Wawang Pulo 10063 km 1494 2158 TWN Chiao Y¸ BS, New Taipei City/Sanchung 9227 km 1494 2035 PHL DWAR Abante Radyo, Valenzuela/Caloong 10075 km 1557 1551 TWN Radio Taiwan International Chinese Channel, Kouhu 9270 km
Now my award for winning the Top 10 DX of the Year 2024 Contest has arrived. Many thanks to Biliczky István and the Top DX Radioclub for this great shortwave radio contest, which I highly recommend every BC-DXer to participate in December 2025. http://www.topdx-radioclub.com/top10dx.html
“QSL”: Now is really the time after 42 years when it no longer makes sense. Out of 10 reports in the last two months to ‘special’ stations (all mediumwave), not a single one has responded. A total of 4 replies for 37 reports since December. Now I’m going to print out Jaguar screens for the QSL folder instead of the station’s mail, like the one pictured here from Sinjanniin Mongoliin Ardiin Radio. And it’s only for myself, I don’t need the ‘QSL’ for anyone else, so I’m going to do it this way to save time. The only exception might be if I hear a new US state. But that’s also very doubtful after 45 verified US states.
