Radio Free Asia (RFA) announces the release of 17th anniversary QSL
card. RFA's first broadcast was in Mandarin on September 29, 1996,
2100-2200 UTC. Acting as a substitute for indigenous free media, RFA
concentrates its coverage on events occurring in and/or affecting the
countries where we broadcast; they are: Burma, Cambodia, Laos, North
Korea, Peoples Republic of China, and Vietnam. RFA does not express
editorial opinions but provides news, analysis, commentary, and
cultural programming. A combination of U.S. government-operated
transmitters and a variety of shortwave leased facilities support RFA.
This card will be used for all valid reception reports from September
1 – December 31, 2013.
RFA is a private, nonprofit corporation that broadcasts news and
information to listeners in Asian countries where full, accurate, and
timely news reports are unavailable. Created by Congress in 1994 and
incorporated in 1996, RFA currently broadcasts in Burmese, Cantonese,
Khmer, Korean to North Korea, Lao, Mandarin, 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.
You also have the option of using the following Microsoft Tag from
your smartphone. The free mobile app for your smartphone is available
at http://gettag.mobi
Reception reports are also accepted by email at qsl@rfa.org, and for
anyone without Internet access, reception reports can be mailed to:
Reception Reports
Radio Free Asia
2025 M. Street NW, Suite 300
Washington DC 20036
United States of America
Upon your request, RFA will also send a copy of the current broadcast
schedule and a station sticker.
