QSL policy Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, UAE

[Dick Van Der Knaap]

Hello There,

Wonder if anyone recently received QSL's from what might be called
'external service' from Radio Jordan, Radio Kuwait, Sult.of Oman Radio
and United Arab Emirates radio.
These stations transmit all on shortwave, some of them even in English
with an external news service.
Some of them also invite listeners to write.
Unfortunatly I did not get any reply from these stations, so I wonder if
they really QSL or not??

I can still remember the day that Radio Damascus send me a QSL via
registered mail!

Passport to World Band Radio said the UAE station "replies
irregularly". I sent a report anyway in October 2001 and I'm
still awaiting a reply. There was a recent article in Monitoring
Times about Middle East International Broadcasters. I think it
was in the September, 2001 edition. I remember the article
discussed which stations reply most consistently but I don't
recall what was said about the stations you listed.

I got reply and some stickers from Radio Jordan last year, it took around 2 months for reply.

Any way has the e mails of the above mentioned M.E. stations ?

Radio Jordan has a interesting programme called friends abroad, I've listened it few times, and there they have mentioned, that they have sent some kind of reply for those, whose letters were read on programme...
to me, they haven't answerred. but I will send a new report, perhaps they will answer then:)

Hi Dick,

LOng time since your message was posted, but thought I would reply anyway. Last year recieved a very nice QSL folder from The Sultanate of Oman, Measures about 8 inches x 6 inches - not converted myself yet!! to cms I mean. Have sent reports to both Jordan and Kuwait recently but so far had no response.

I sent UAE Radio a report on 13th January. I picked up their 16:30 UTC broadcast on 13675 kHz. News was in English. So far I haven't received anything.

I sent several reports in the past to Radio Jordan, and
never I received a answer. I sent moreover, reports
wrote in a arabic form, but, not success.

Not counting Voice of Greece who QSL nicely, I once waited over a year to get a response from Radio Damascus Syria. It came in a plain brown wrapper and the only thing NOT in Arabic on it was my name and address!

They sent stickers, newspaper and QSL. Very nice.

Other than that, no luck QSLing the Middle East, which I would very much so like to do.

Any more successes?

Hi Dick,

I am so lucky that I got an orange QSL card from Radio Sultanate of Oman in this Spring. I sent a reception report on this station's English broadcast dated March 8 by email on March 9 and received a reply on March 30! Very nice!



Best regards from China!

In 1998 or so I received three beautiful QSLs from Radio Saudi Arabia.
What about Egypt, Israel and Lebanon, guys?

[Andy Martynyuk]

What E-mail addresses of R. Kuwait do you have, colleagues? Andy

Recently I have received calendars and schedules from Radio Kuwait. No QSLs, unfortunately.
