My First QSL
I can't show you a picture of it. It was an e-mail.
I was in Bangkok in December 2009 when I picked up the Burmese Broadcasting Service, or to give it its correct name, Myanmar Radio National Service. As far as I could make out it was a broadcast of a ladies' soccer game between Myanmar and Laos. So I wrote my report and posted it to them, giving my contact details.
On Christmas Morning I picked up my BlackBerry to find an e-mail from U Win Aung "Director of Radio Dept, Nay Pyi Taw Myanma, Radio" confirming my reception report. Thank U!
While I'm rambling on about Myanmar, let me recommend Sublime Frequencies, a particularly splendid record label that collects interesting music from around the world. My introduction to them was their Music of Nat Pwe: Folk and Pop Music of Myanmar Vol. 3 which I can say is quite unlike any other music I've heard. Sublime Frequencies has a website here; there is a Wikipedia article about the Nats here and images of them here.
