| New RFA 'Bamboo' QSL |
®
Radio Free Asia (RFA) announces
its 23rd anniversary QSL. Bringing free press to closed societies,
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 Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, North
Korea, the People’s Republic of China, and Vietnam. In some Asian cultures,
bamboo represents integrity, elegance, modesty and loyalty. This is RFA’s 71st
QSL and is used to confirm all valid RFA reception reports from September – December
2019. The design was created by RFA’s Brian Powell.
RFA’s 23rd
Anniversary QSL
Created by Congress in
1994 and incorporated in 1996, RFA broadcasts in Burmese, Cantonese, Khmer,
Korean to North Korea, Lao, Mandarin Chinese, Vietnamese, Tibetan (including Uke,
Amdo, and Kham dialects), and Uyghur. RFA strives for accuracy, balance, and
fairness in our editorial content. As a ‘surrogate’ broadcaster, RFA provides
news and commentary specific to each of our target countries, acting as the
free press these countries lack. RFA broadcasts only in local languages and
dialects, and most of our broadcasts comprise news of specific local interest. More information about RFA, including our
current broadcast frequency schedule, is always 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 our general listening audience.
Reception reports are also
accepted by email at qsl@rfa.org and by mail to:
