1989 program magazine from Radio RSA, the Voice of South Africa (left); a pre-printed aereogramme for RSA monitors' reception reports
Radio Prague sent thousands of these postcard reception report forms, which needed to be filled out and sent back with a stamp on the other side
RAI was so optimistic for the 21st century; they no longer broadcast in English on shortwave
Radio Moscow had some nice pre-printed reception report forms. They came in all different colors, dark blue, light blue, red, pink, green and purple. It was fun filling them out!
Radio Bucaresti, now Radio Romania International, sent really nice calendars and greeting cards during the spring season. This one is entitled "The birth of the Romanian people"
Radio 4VEH was Haiti's popular religious broadcaster
Radio Ulan Bator, now Voice of Mongolia, was difficult to hear in the US and even more difficult to QSL. Here's the station's program guide
And, of course, my dog-eared SWL bible;out of date but still packed with info

Heya madrid kid. Would love to chat with you about DX conditions in Spain - I might be there on a DXpedition later this year (from Los Angeeles) and would love to know more about your reception particularly of Middle Eastern stations, as that is my field of interest. Drop me a line :-) MDW
Hi, Sure let me know when you are coming. I live in north central Madrid, and DXing conditions are usually pretty good. We get a lot of North Africans, as you can imagine, with Algeria, Tunis and Morocco coming in the best.
