Papua New Guinea
4960 Catholic Radio network/Radio Saint Gabriel, Vanimo. When I first heard this station back in 2006, attempts to find a QSL route, resulted in a dead issue, one via Australia (failed) and the other from the
Archdiocese of Papua New Guinea, in Post Moresby c/o of Media and Editorial Section (no response after two letters to this route). The third attempt was some friends who had relatives (on an archaeology
search) there in Vanimo, but they left before I could get them my report. After seeing Bruce Churchill QSL response, I proceeded to send my report ( to director.pg@radiomaria.org) and within two days received back a confirmation statement stating my report as correct and gave some insight about the station and aims. Veri signer as, Father Paul Kote. Total response time of eight years, ten months, but 48 hours after posting my e-mail report.

Received in 644 days for English airmail report and US $3.00, plus follow-up in English. Sent via registered airmail with US $2.00 to Channel Africa address. Verified in 106 days after follow-up report. (Muick)

I have to admit a certain amount of disappointment and confusion with the Channel Africa QSL. They have always been listed in WRTH as having a QSL card. Not only did they not verify, but the report was eventually just passed on to Sentech, the national transmitter owner who QSL'ed with a letter. Sentech has always been represented in the WRTH as having a QSL card as well. This holds true for the new 2012 edition.

When was the last time anyone has received a QSL card directly from Channel Africa? When was the last time anyone has ever received a QSL card from Sentech? Inquring minds want to know!(Muick)
