On December 25th tuned into R. Bulgaria at both 0730 & 1230 UT and heard
the "Answering Your Letters" programme. In it they announced that Nick
Sharpe, Don Rhodes and Erik Koie, and a few other Dxers sent in
contributions to the station after R. Bulgaria said they would like to
hear from those who had the oldest QSL. It's a pity that the programme
presenter did not inform us of the dates of the QSL's which were sent in
as it would have been nice to know who had the oldest card and from what
date. This is on the Station's 70th anniversary. Next year will be the
50th year of R. Bulgaria's DX Programme. 50th Jubilee Year. One of the
oldest going programmes for Dxers and Shortwave Listeners on the bands.

CZECH REP/SLOVAKIA Nice to see RADIO SLOVAKIA INTERNATIONAL back on the
shortwave bands after a short absence of a few months. As DAVID CRYSTAL
says, please encourage them by sending reception reports and tell them
about reception conditions. As David says they have not printed any QSL
cards as yet, but let them know about reception at your QTH. I'm getting
fair to poor reception at 1730 on 6055 kHz with BBC co-channel. 5915 kHz
has DRM interference from a station on 5920 kHz making it difficult to
follow the broadcast. At 1930, 5915 kHz is clear of DRM interference and
7345 kHz has adjacent channel interference. Best of all send your comments
about the programme content, also opinions and suggestions for further
programmes. I think writing to stations often gives them the incentive to
