RADIO FREE ASIA ANNOUNCES QSL CARD #86
\nSeptember 2024<\/p>\n

Radio Free Asia (RFA) announces its latest QSL card celebrating 28 years of delivering accurate, uncensored, domestic news to people living under authoritarian regimes across Asia and globally to populations vulnerable to malign influence. Through its in-depth, unflinching journalism, RFA brings to light consequential developments in China, North Korea, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam, as well as the Pacific region. This is RFA\u2019s 86th QSL design and will be used to confirm all valid RFA reception reports from September \u2013 December 2024.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nRFA\u2019s QSL CARD #86<\/p>\n

Created by Congress in 1994 and incorporated in 1996, RFA broadcasts in Burmese, Cantonese, Khmer, Korean to North Korea, Lao, Mandarin Chinese, Vietnamese, Tibetan (including Uke, Amdo, and Kham dialects), and Uyghur. RFA strives for accuracy, balance, and fairness in our editorial content. As a \u2018surrogate\u2019 broadcaster, RFA provides news and commentary specific to each of our target countries, acting as the free press these countries lack. RFA broadcasts only in local languages and dialects, and most of our broadcasts comprise news of specific local interest. More information about RFA, including our current broadcast frequency schedule, is always available at www.rfa.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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 not only from DX\u2019ers, but also from our general listening audience.
\nReception reports are accepted by email at qsl@rfa.org and by mail to:<\/p>\n
