World Music Radio: il ritorno del pennant (o bandierina)


Il ritorno del pennant. Oggi mi è arrivata la conferma di World Music Radio 5840 kHz da Bramming, Danimarca, con 100 watt. Sorpresa: oltre alla QSL full data, una lettera e 3 adesivi, nella busta c'era anche un pennant di stoffa!

Era un bel po' che non ne vedevo più uno con le conferme. Complimenti e grazie a Stig Hartvig Nielsen, patron di WMR e di Radio 208




Per ricevere la conferma cartacea occorre però inviare del denaro per la risposta, anche via PayPal
