Evert, one of my favourite hobbies WAS listening to the Radio. In 1981, I had heard Radio Finland here and I had reported reception to them to which I got "QSL Card" (acknowledgement). The signal from the station was very weak but still I was able to tune in and hear it. I was so thrilled to receive a mail from there. And it was one of my first cards I received from radiio stations. In later years, I used to monitor Radio Korea International (16 years), BBC (2 years).
