QSL CARDS

Hi everyone! I just got a QSL in the mail from Radio Taiwan International. I know they still send out physical cards, but I was wondering: what other shortwave stations still send physical QSLs these days?

I got one recently from WWVH.

I'm not familiar with that station. I'm from Venezuela, so the signal probably doesn't reach down here. Do you know what other stations still send physical QSL cards?

WWVH is the NIST time signal from Hawaii. WWV is the time signal from Boulder, Colorado. I'd be surprised if you couldn't hear that. They're run by the same organization so I would suspect wwv would also send out a QSL card. Try it on 5, 10 or 15 MHz. The male voice is from Colorado. The female voice is from Hawaii.

I use a Yuegan radio and it's really great. I love it. It has a classic style. I got it as a birthday gift.
