Congratulations Bruce, Recently, the challenge of getting QSL cards from many of TA and TP broadcasters seems more formidable than making the reception itself. Your patience is tracking down the 1215-Russia QSL is admirable, and something that is totally lacking in an MP3-collector like me.

I got a letter back from the KRSN test and the tones I heard did not match their sweep tones. Nothing on the CD matched their programming. Oh well, it was worth a shot.
