Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Richard Schreiber (KE7KRF), who shares the following:<\/p>\n

Here [above] is the QSL card I received in 2004 for the 1998 St Helena Day shortwave broadcast. There were, I recall, some staff changes and other issues that delayed many reports from being verified, but resubmitted everything in 2004 and they promptly verified.<\/p>\n

For the 1998 broadcast I actually phoned the station in St Helena and was put on the air, but unfortunately didn’t record the broadcast.<\/p>\n

This is one of my most prized QSLs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thank you, Richard. It would be one of my most prized QSLs as well! What a great memory–thank you for sharing!<\/p>\n
