A new FREE service is now available
for members and non-members, worldwide! This is an on-line Reception Report Template, which you may use for sending us reception reports for any of our Radio EDXP programs heard throughout
the month on various international broadcasters. Reports are personally checked for validity, and you may choose an animated
E-QSL, one with an audio file of Australian music, or a plain one. These QSLs are fully detailed, showing the transmitter
site and host broadcaster. You "pick up" your E-QSL at a special Website after you have received an E-mail notification from
us. Postal-mailed QSLs of course are always available, but you have to send in return postage to cover costs of the QSL and
postage charges. Tune in to Radio EDXP and send us a report!
To see who has received Radio EDXP QSLs recently, use the following
