Thanks to a message in HCDX around Christmas time I listened to my first ever online transmission, Guangdong Today, ( http://www.wrn.org ) on an Internet station, Radio Guangdong in China. The station asked for greetings “from the world” because of their celebration of “55 Glorious Years of Radio Guangdong”. So I sent them my greetings, and in my e-mail I also included a picture of myself in my radio “chamber”.
Yesterday I got one of the nicest and biggest envelopes I have ever got as a DX-er (48 more or less radio active years).
The content was fabulous: A letter from the director, two nice calendars picturing “The Year of the rooster”, two CD-records with “Touching Melodies” and “Sentimental String” (very nice Chinese music and songs) and a DVD with lots of interesting stuff: A live greeting in English by the director, a slide with the “Greetings from Overseas Audiences” (including “yours sincerely” – first time ever on a DVD!), the History of Radio Guangdong and live pictures from the anniversary party.
I also got a QSL card, but it included no details, evidently because I had listened to them via their streaming audio. All together a really nice and interesting surprise, thanks to HCDX! You can watch their English service website: www.radio-gd.com/English and write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
