Radio Free Asia Releases 18th Anniversary QSL
August 2015
Radio Free Asia (RFA) announces the release of our 19th
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 59th QSL design and
will be used to confirm all valid RFA reception reports from August 1-December 31,
2015.
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.
Reception reports are also accepted by email at
qsl@rfa.org and by mail to:
