Sent off a report of my reception to victor.pujiang@gmail.com , along with my box.com audio reference. Also told him how I miss visiting the old Xiangyang Market (which was across the street from Xiangyang Park that I often visited), where they use to sell fake designer goods (closed 2006). Received this reply:
“Thank you for your reception report! I have listened to the record. I confirm you were listening to Voice of Pujiang, please find the QSL- letter in the attachment.
When I was a high school student, many of my classmates went to the Xiangyang Market to get some cheap stuff. :) If you have another chance to Shanghai, you are most welcome to come to our station, the address is shown on the QSL letter, or we can have a coffee together, I am also a DXer. Have a nice weekend!”
