Indy 500 Broadcast & QSL
« on: May 24, 2019, 2129 UTC »
There is at least one broadcaster at the Indy 500 this weekend that will acknowledge reception reports with a qsl.

AL, when you view the link's most recent qsl galleries please have on your eclipse glasses to avert blindness.  Although, Belinda might be grateful if you fail to wear eye,...ahem, protection.

I am not sure whether World Harvest Radio is carrying the actual race.  They did prior to 2018 and it was received by HFU posters on 15180 or 15760 (yours truly).  The official Indy 500 website says that it will be broadcast on shortwave (no frequencies given) by Lasea Broadcasting which is now Family Broadcasting Corporation (World Harvest Radio).  If you do receive the 500 on shortwave, here is World Harvest Radio's reception report for a qsl:

I heard it on 15720 in 2016, which I recalled because it was RNZI's then-evening broadcast frequency. They weren't interfering because the races are earlier in the day but it was strange that they used that exact same frequency.
