Current posts on this blog are QSLs (verifications from radio stations) and, often, audio of their station identifications, from around the world. These are mostly stations heard on medium-wave (AM) over long distances, often from Cape Point, south of Cape Town, with my friend, Vashek Korinek. But also included are other QSLs received over a 50-year participation in the hobby, with comments about the station, the area, the politics or the economics.

PDF to JPEG and straight to Sana'a
I discovered that Windows Picture Manager converts pdf files to jpeg. Using the snapshot tool in Adobe Reader you copy the picture. Then paste it onto an existing pic in Picture Manager and Export as a jpeg. This creates a new file which is also much smaller than the original pdf file and can be uploaded into Blogger. This QSL is from Sana'a Radio in Yemen. It was a relatively easy-to-hear station in English just off-frequency on 9780 kHz. Over a period of 10 years I must have sent in about 15 reports, along with postcards, return postage etc. Finally out of the blue this rather smart card rocked up with full details.
