Attention DXers: Radio Prague online WILL QSL!!

One of the aspects of the explosion of the Internet Radio and streaming audio industry that has been met with some trepidation is the loss of the QSL.  For decades, hobbyists would sit in front of their radios and tune in distant signals in search of the elusive QSL card, a verification of reception.  With Internet Radio stealing many of the international broadcasters away from shortwave radio, and even most mediumwave radio stations streaming their signals online, the thrill of the hunt seemed to decline.

This announcement from Radio Prague, coming to us from the Shortwave Central Blog, should help at least rekindle some of those flickering flames of QSL magic that may still yet linger in the hearts of the DXer!

According to Radio Prague’s Mailboxprogram of 19 December: “Some of our listeners might be wondering what will happen with reception reports and QSL cards after Radio Prague goes off the air [on shortwave]. After February 1st, Radio Prague will still verify your reception over the internet. There is a new set of cards featuring Bohemian and Moravian castles which will soon appear on our website.”
