RADIO FREE ASIA ANNOUNCES QSL CARD #82

Radio Free Asia (RFA) is proud to announce our new QSL card honoring the arrival of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. Nothing characterizes this more than the annual arrival of the cherry blossoms in Washington DC. “The tradition of celebrating the blooming of cherry trees in Japan is centuries old. The planting of cherry trees in Washington DC originated in 1912 as a gift of friendship to the People of the United States from the People of Japan. In Japan, the flowering cherry tree, or Sakura, is an important flowering plant. The beauty of the cherry blossom is a symbol with rich meaning in Japanese culture. For more than a hundred years, we have celebrating cherry trees blooming in solidarity.” (source: nps.gov) This is RFA’s 82nd QSL design and will be used to confirm all valid RFA reception reports from May – August 2023.

Interesting use of audio to recruit people for the Australian Navy. Reminds me a bit of the shortwave Radiograms which have been around for a while.
