Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor,\u00a0Lennart Weirell, who writes:<\/p>\n

The posting about Mark’s shortwave recording of Radio Tahiti<\/a> brings back memories from the 80s.<\/p>\n

In 1982 I visited Tahiti with my family during a holiday from Malaysia, where I was working at that time, and could listen to Radio Tahiti locally. Back in Malaysia I managed to catch Radio Tahiti on 15170 kHz with my DR-28 and got the reception report verified with a nice QSL card.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When I moved back to Sweden a few years later I also managed to catch Radio Tahiti on 15170 kHz and got the reception report verified with another nice QSL card.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I saw that a QSL card from Radio Tahiti 1981 recently was sold on E-bay for $66.50!! so you better keep these old rarities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Many thanks for sharing,\u00a0Lennart! You’re right…some of these QSL cards are worth quite a bit of money on eBay. Take good care of them!<\/p>\n
