Thank you for your reception report. You heard us on our very first day of broadcast. Your details are correct.
This is a brand new radio station so we do not yet have QSL cards. We will get some in the future. We do not even have a letterhead yet!
One of our technicians is from India and I am copying him on this reply - I'm sure he will be pleased!
Soon we will also be streaming from our internet site so check bar-kulan.com for details.
Best and mahadsanid,
David Smith
