VOA Update - This would have been a catch 🤣

 If you sent out a reception report for this May 27 broadcast (see below) and received verification, you are now coronated as the QSL Champ.  (Except in the Banana Workers' Republic of Molvania, where bloodlines and well compensated warlords bestow titles - it is good to be the King.  ;))

From story:

In court papers filed last week, lawyers for Widakuswara and fellow plaintiffs said the administration made a cursory attempt to indicate that VOA was operational by broadcasting five minutes of content to three provinces in Afghanistan on May 27.

I thing the interval signal for Radio Exterior de Espaņa is longer than the May 27 VOA transmission. 🤣
