Since a lot of you use Christmas for (euro)-pirate radio listening I want to resend a few remarks about sending reception reports to the SRS Germany P.O.Box in Eisenach. Many of the following points are valid for other boxes, too ..
yours Martin ------- Forwarded message follows ------- 9 remarks from the SRS Drop Box in Eisenach All reception reports to Pirate Stations are very welcome, but some reports make it quite difficult for me as the drop box operator. Thus the following remarks seem to be necessary : 1 Please include 'SRS Germany' in the first or second line of the address if you want to send a report to the Eisenach Drop-box ! 2 If you do not know how to use the c/o please do not use it ! SRS Germany c/o Station ABC is nonsense ! The correct way for the P:O. Box would be SRS Germany - Station ABC - Postfach 101145 99801 Eisenach Germany 3 Do not use abbreviations, use the station name. E.R. can mean Enjoy Radio or Eldorado Radio, thus I have to open the letter .. 4 If you are not sure about what you heard do send the report to me personally (or ask at first via E-mail) or wait for the next log list and try to find out the station name. 5 Do not send unused stamps unless you are sure you use the correct currency. I keep getting reports for Dutch stations with German stamps as return postage. An address in Germany does not necessarily mean that its a German station. Remark for all those outside the Euro-zone : A common currency in the region does NOT mean that stamps can be used in different Euro countries, too ! 6 Remember to enclose return postage. Several listeners do not include return postage. Several other listeners include only simply return postage. The normal value (in Europe) is 2 times the postage value for a simple letter (means 2 normal stamps) or 1 USD (Now at the moment that the USD is falling down this relation is not valid ..). Do not send IRC's for reports inside Europe, that is wasting money. For reports from outside IRC's are a good thing, old and new IRC's are valid in Germany as well as in the Netherlands (even if they sometimes tell something different) 7 Try to avoid sending Euro-Coins as return postage. Since letters undergo a 'treatment' in large 'sorting factories' build by the post these letters that contain sharp things are often destroyed since letter run between several rolls that are pressed together .. If you enclose coins secure them with tape to a sheet of strong paper. 8 Please include good details in your reports. I see many reports that consist of details like 'music announcer address'. If I were the radio station I would not issue a qsl for these reports. 9 If you do not get an answer from a certain station please inform me via E- mail. Stations that do not answer listers letter are not allowed to use the drop box in Eisenach. yours Martin from Eisenach Information about Pirate Radio Addresses at my homepage : Pirate R Address List http://www.schoechi.de/pwdb.html --------------------------------------------------------- Martin Schoech - PF 101145 - 99801 Eisenach - Deutschland --------------------------------------------------------- E-mail : radio[a]schoechi.de Web : http://www.schoechi.de --------------------------------------------------------- ---[Start Commercial]--------------------- World Radio TV Handbook 2004 is coming out!
