Wow I received a Qsl via the mail even though I requested a E-Qls of verification just for a email reception report. It took some time but I did get it. Don't know whats going on with them now :-\

In late 2020 I read the following on their website:
We now offer printed QSL cards for reception reports arriving (via post only) via the address of the World Wide DX Club:
Shortwave Radio, P.O.Box 1214, D-61282 Bad Homburg, Germany.
QSL policy: At least 30min of programme details incl. comments to the programme. Minimum 3 Euro return postage cash or via PayPal.
I immediately wrote a "snail mail" report to the address above and included 3€ into my envelope.
Finally - after quite a while - I received an answer with my QSL.
It was worth the effort and money to have received another confirmation.

BTW: In earlier times, it was also quite common to include return postage in the form of US dollars or IRCs with the reception reports,
regardless of whether they were sent to legal or illegal radio stations.

Statement
Hi Owen, and thanks for the thread on this board. Something went terribly wrong. I don't want to go into detail here.
The support group decided to send you another card, which is on its way and to refund your 3 Euro payment. Please send an email or PM me with your Paypal details.
We have quite a lot of regular and irregular listeners which do support us without requesting a QSL. We are here for your listening pleasure and provide shows 7 days a week, including live ones, DX shows and Letterbox programmes. As most of the others do, we are not running any playlists or auto-DJ. This format seems to be highly appreciated and at this point we say thank you to those of you who supported us for the last 5 years.

"There will be no further comments..." Talk about covering your ass. Just give the guy his money and his card.

I've received my QSL card in the post now, thank you. I'm glad this is now sorted and hope the station continues its output, as I enjoy listening to various programmes in the channel.
