Secondly, check to see if others have received a QSL from the station; sometimes they list contact details? Thirdly, communicate with other BCLers; they might know who to contact. Lastly, contact the company/department/minstry that might govern the station. <br /><br />Websites, blogs and FB pages have online information about stations and QSLing. Again, you need to search the Internet.<br /><br />Yes, RFA and VOA are managed by IBB. Many transmitter sites are owned and operated by similar companies who in turn relay the programmes of stations elsewhere in the world. RFA transmissions might originate from the Pacific, Central Asia, Middle East, South Asia, North Asia and occasionally Europe. High Frequency Broadcasting Schedule publishes a list of stations, transmitter sites, etc. See: http://www.itu.int/en/ITU-R/terrestrial/broadcast/HFBC/Pages/Schedule.aspx<br /><br />73.T.L.

I have a large collection of mostly maritime utility station cards from many years ago that I should get up on my own web pages. It is so rare to see anyone actively chasing down cards these days. Do you know of any other sites or blogs that might feature recently collected cards?<br /><br />If possible, I would like to ask a few questions that I have been wondering about. <br /><br />I gather that most present-day QSL seekers send reports via e-mail...how does one determine where to send these in the case of the smaller more obscure outlets? Is there any web sites that discuss this or have QSLing info? I see so many SWL / DX sites that are abandoned or outdated, sadly. <br /><br />Do you compile a target-seek list before listening? Can you recommend the best source(s) of information for active stations? <br /><br />Another thing I notice that has changed a lot since I was SWLing years ago is the renting of other facilities for transmitting. For example, your RFA QSL in May indicates they were using an IBB transmitter (is this VOA?)... so I'm wondering if there is a way of knowing where what you are listening to is actually coming from. Hearing RFA apparently doesn't necessarily mean I'm hearing Asia at all...is this correct?<br /><br />SteveSteve McDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06229640265009249231noreply@blogger.com
