Radio Free Asia Releases 18th Anniversary QSL
Radio Free Asia (RFA) announces the released their 18th
Anniversary QSL card. RFA’s first broadcast was in Mandarin on September 29,
1996 at 2100 UTC. RFA is a private, nonprofit corporation broadcasting news and
information to listeners in Asian countries where full, accurate, and timely
news reports are unavailable. Acting as a substitute for indigenous free media,
RFA concentrates coverage on events occurring in and/or affecting Burma,
Cambodia, Laos, North Korea, the People’s Republic of China, and Vietnam. RFA does not express
editorial opinions but provides news, analysis, commentary, and cultural
programming in the languages of the country of broadcast. This is RFA’s 55th QSL design and
will be used to confirm all valid RFA reception reports to December
31, 2014.

| Radio Free Asia 18th Anniversary QSL card |
Created by Congress in 1994 and incorporated in 1996, RFA
broadcasts in Burmese, Cantonese, Khmer, Korean to North Korea, Lao, Mandarin
(including the Wu dialect), Vietnamese, Tibetan (Uke, Amdo, and Kham), and
Uyghur. RFA strives for accuracy, balance, and fairness in its editorial
content. As a ‘surrogate’ broadcaster, RFA provides news and commentary
specific to each of its target countries, acting as the free press these
countries lack. RFA broadcasts only in local languages and dialects, and most
of its broadcasts comprise news of specific local interest. More information about Radio Free Asia,
including our current broadcast frequency schedule, is available at
www.rfa.org.
RFA encourages listeners to
submit reception reports. Reception
reports are valuable to RFA as they help us evaluate the signal strength and
quality of our transmissions. RFA confirms all accurate reception reports by
mailing a QSL card to the listener. RFA
welcomes all reception report submissions at http://techweb.rfa.org (follow the
QSL REPORTS link) not only from DX’ers, but also from its general listening
audience.
Reception reports are also accepted by email at
qsl@rfa.org and by mail to:
