QSL Radio Africa program via Juelich 15650. Partial-data letter from T-
Systems confirming reception of Radio Africa 37 months after I sent a
report to Pan American Broadcasting. This is a religious program, which
according to my notes was sometimes reported as Voice of Africa, not one
of the clandestine or humanitarian broadcasters with the same or similar
name.
The letter from Sabine Gawol, BackOffice Short-wave Sales, apologizes for
the delay and states they have an additional colleague so will be able to
answer letters quickly in the future. No response from Pan American or
Radio Africa. I've received a few veries from broadcasters or brokers
after sending a report to T-Systems (and of course T-S always verified),
but I think this is the first time my report to a broadcaster resulted in
a QSL from T-S.
