[bitnet.swl-l] RCI QSL'ing policy?

postmaster@CUVMB.CC.COLUMBIA.EDU (01/15/90)

Back many, many years ago, I heard that Radio Canada International was going
to tighten up their QSLing policy.  Can anyone tell me what the current
policy on QSLing is for them?  Also, would the CBC Northern Service be
considered the same station as RCI w.r.t. QSL'ing (i.e. I've QSL'ed CBC N.S.
but not RCI, just out of laziness)?

Please respond by E-mail and I'll summarize if there is interest.  Thanks.

Radio Canada International sends out a blank QSL card to everyone on
its mailing list once a year (I think in the spring).  The listener
is then allowed (but not encouraged) to fill the card in with
program details and have it authenticated by RCI.  This limits
listeners to one RCI QSL per year, and minimizes the work for the
under-financed station.

CBCNQSWS does not QSL.  RCI will not QSL CBCNQSWS broadcasts,
either.
