It's a pity that they don't always specify the transmitter site - the German service actually does, no matter if the signal is from Kostinbrod (Bulgaria, 360 days a year) or from Tamsui (during July-August weekends).
ReplyDeleteYes, it's pity RTI doesn't anymore. They've been very lax about QSL details for a couple of years now.
