My First Ever Reception Report
4 May, 2008 – 10:08 pmThis past month, I have been thoroughly busy clearing out the drawers of my study desk. There are two drawers and I have stuffed both of them up with so much junk up to the point that I could not close them properly anymore.
Well, a cluttered room is bad feng shui and April 2008 was just as good as any time to get the room cleaned up. And boy, did I find so many things inside my drawers that I will be sharing some of them here in my blog.
Back in 1997, I was really into shortwave radio. Well, I think I only owned a personal computer in 1998 or so, so I was able to spend plenty of time just tuning to radio stations around the world. The computer causes plenty of interference so once I got that, I had to reduce the hours I spent searching for far away radio broadcasts.
Anyway, here’s my first ever reception report that I did for Swiss Radio International. I don’t remember if this was my first ever, or my first ever on a proper reception report form but just look! How embarrassing. It was like getting my report card and realizing that I got last place in class or something.
Gee… after that first attempt to obtain my first ever QSL card, I graduated to be one of the official monitors of Radio Taipei International for 1.5 years and Radio Deutsche Welle. I don’t remember how many years I was an official monitor for DW Radio, but it got to a point that work overwhelmed and I decided to quit, unfortunately.
