A: First off, I’d like to inform you of our frequency changes for the winter. Pen and paper ready? Our English broadcasts to Western Europe from Moosbrunn, Dhabayya, and Woofferton will be broadcast from 18.00 to 18.30 UTC on 5955 KHz.

First off, I’d like to inform you of our frequency changes for the winter.

To improve the quality of our broadcasts every winter VOV makes some changes to its frequencies and timetables for shortwave broadcasts. This year, it will be as follows: our English broadcasts from Mossbrunn, Dhabayya and Woofferton to the west of Europe will be at from 18.00 to 18.30 UTC on 5955 KHz.

Here’s an email from Juan Carlos Gil Mongio of Spain. He said he was very happy because he received our answer to his recent letter and he can hear VOV’s programs in Europe quite well.

A: This week we got a flood of emails, mostly from Indian listeners.

We were happy to hear last week that most of our listeners had received the QSL cards and gift packages we sent.

I hope this edition of the Letter Box finds you well. We devote the first part of the Letter Box to acknowledging letters from Indian Dx’ers.

Last week, we received dozens of letters and emails but the one from William Patalon III from the USA impressed us the most. We must say that he’s already made a record having the thickest letter, about 20 pages altogether.

This week, we received 4 letters from Fumito Hokamura of Japan, one of our most regular pen-pals. He said he is very interested in Vietnam and he listens to VOV to learn more about the country’s culture, folk songs, and cuisine, etc…

Among the letters and emails we received during the week, we’d like to begin with Rattan Kumar Paul, a teacher and co-coordinator of the South Asia Cri DXer Forum in India.
