Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Roseanna, who shares the following note from her new blog<\/a> regarding a change in CRI Japan’s QSL policy.<\/p>\n

Roseanna notes:<\/p>\n

You probably are unaware but CRI Japan has had a major change up in their QSL card policies. CRI Japan issue QSL cards for broadcasts in English which is why I\u2019m mentioning this!<\/p>\n

The new policies now state that a postal reception report will be answered by a postal QSL card and an email reception report will be answered by an e-QSL.[…]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks for the tip, Roseanna! I believe this makes sense. CRI seem to have a backlog of paper QSL cards to post so by restricting paper cards to those who submit listener reports by snail mail, it will cut down on the processing time. Those seeking a quick confirmation can simply submit their reception reports by email and thus receive an eQSL in short order.\u00a0 Thanks again for the tip!<\/p>\n
