(Barbour-NH) QSL: KUWAIT, Radio Kuwait--Years ago, I sent R. Kuwait a few reception reports, to no avail. What I did receive though, twice a year, were the A..& B.. schedules and the occasional desk calendar. I was pleasantly surprised this week to receive, along with a B13 schedule, a n/d form letter thanking me for my reception report, with the attached schedule confirming my report, and to continue monitoring and sending reports at my convenience. V/S, Layali Mulla Hussain, Head of Frequencies Propagation Section. Not much, but I'll take it! (Barbour-NH) Scott R. Barbour Jr. Intervale, N.H.
