*SDR receiver at Twente University (The Netherlands)
how come??
ReplyDeletemy information was that the BBC has stopped issuing QSL cards in the early 90s.
Yes, this applies to BBC shortwave service. For a time some BBC relay sites did issue QSL letters, i.e. Cyprus, Seychelles. BBC MW stations have occasionally issued QSL cards/letters to me, for instance,BBC Derby and BBC Wales. Radio Manx has QSLed as well. Try your luck, Franz. 73.
DeleteThe Radio Derby logo featured on this card is very old - early 1990s or earlier. This card is an 'antique'!
DeleteYes Manx Radio which does in fact not belong to the BBC but is the national, independent public service broadcast operator on the Isle of Man, is indeed a very reliable and friendly verifier.
