London Shortwave

This blog is dedicated to shortwave radio listening in the 21st century: the art of tuning into the signals of radio stations that are transmitting from thousands of kilometres away without the use of the Internet. It can be viewed as a fun hobby but also as a way to maintain an alternative, independent means of obtaining information in our digital age. Posts cover topics including shortwave radio equipment and accessories, station profiles, program recordings and shortwave radio history.

Rediscovering a Radio New Zealand International e-QSL card

Monday, August 28, 2023

For someone who has been into the shortwave listening hobby for many years, I have embarrassingly few QSL cards. So I was very pleased when I rediscovered what I thought was a long lost photo of an e-QSL card from Radio New Zealand International (now RNZ Pacific) from 2013. Here it is, alongside the recording that the card is confirming and the equipment I used to capture the former. Seeing this card makes me appreciate how lucky we are that RNZ Pacific are still with us on shortwave today.
