QSL FROM ‘RADIO DECHOVKA’ FOR A SPECIAL VERY LAST BROADCAST ON 1233 KHZ

I received a nice QSL card (+ stickers) for the very last broadcast on 1233 kHz via the transmitter from Zbraslav in the Czech Republic. The transmitter was activated once more for 24 hours (with a broadcast from Radio Dechovka) in the context of the 100th anniversary of Czech radio. On YouTube you can listen to a fragment of this broadcast with some identifications. Please click on https://youtu.be/aypaZmQVkvg.

A pity, the used frequency is not mentioned on the QSL!

QSL’S FROM ‘EUROPARL RADIO’

Europarl Radio is a project by Directorate-General for Translation at the European Parliament. It usually presents is multilingual programs online at https://en.audio.europarl.europa.eu/main/pub/home . It is the first time in history that programs prepared by European Parliament staff were transmitted on shortwave, with the help of our partner, radio station Channel 292, Germany (6070 and 9670 kHz). It is the intention to encourage more people to get interested in the European Parliament, its members, activities, and especially the forthcoming 2024 European elections. 

There were 3 broadcasts and for each broadcast there was a separate e-QSL card.

SLOW SCAN TV PICTURES FROM FROM DISTANT COUNTRYS

The past nights there were nice SSTV conditions on 14230 kHz towards the American continent! I logged DX pictures from Aruba, Brazil, Chile, Cuba, Ecuador, Venezuela, Canada and the USA.

In the early morning I also found a station from New Zealand between the logs!

My receiver: AOR AR7030 and I used a 17m long T2FD antenna.

QSL FROM SPECIAL HAM EVENT STATION ‘HV1CL’ IN VATICAN CITY

On Saturday, April 22, 2023 it was “International Marconi Day”. Then there are many ‘Special Events’ in the air among the HAM stations! Like HV1CN who was in the eater for 5 hours (between 08:00 and 13:00 UTC) in the 40 m band from a Vatican Radio studio in Vatican City. A pity, the reception was not good in our region. I guess my location was in the “dead zone”! You can listen to a short recording via this link: HV1CN – Radio Vatican 7155 kHz LSB.mp3.
