Radio waves Int. is QRT because DJ Philippe died in June 2026
BCL Peter's DX Corner MW listener
As I am approaching 200 radio countries verified (using EDXC definition) I did a thorough review to see where I really stood.
Below a list by country, the first station received from that country and the month/year I received the QSL (when that was not available I defaulted to the reception date).
In total: 198 radio countries verified. Latest country: British Virgin Islands, March 2025.
4 countries QSL-ed received from a location that was not my home QTH (3 from Curacao, one on a biketrip through the Alpes) see footnote below.
