R. Kahuzi, 6210, partial data e-mail verie for a snail mail in 2 weeks. V/s Barbara Smith, Home Office Secretary (in Toccoa, Georgia, USA). QTH: besi@alltel.net. My report has obviously caused some excitement at the station, including on-air greetings, e-mails from 2 other people associated with the station etc. This station cannot be receiving many reports! 2 weeks later I received a beautiful QSL card, from the US address. V.Korinek-AFS DXplorer-ML Jun 05
6209.7 R Kahuzi attractive, f/d computer-generated card rcvd in 8 days from Believers Express Service Inc. (BESI) Secretary, Barbara Smith. Card included a computer-generated map showing xmtr and rcvr sites. Card was delivered by the BESI President Harold (Smitty) Smith while I was sitting in his barber chair! This will rank among my most unusual veries, if not THE most unusual! Barbara and the station manager Richard McDonald are brother-sister. Card and accompanying photo of the McDonalds will be sent to Sights and Sounds. If anyone has problems getting a QSL from the station, I can help as they are sent from my local area (I'll just get another haircut!). I believe the station may extend its evening hours to broadcast VOA programs rcvd via satellite. The station uses satellite feeds quite extensively for program content. The shortwave transmitter has been operating since Feb 2001 with a nominal power of 1 KW, but with actual power varying from 830-870 watts depending on local electrical supply. B.Churchill-CA-USA DXplorer-ML Sep 06
Radio Kahuzi (6209.66 kHz) verified tentative report of 11th September from the kivu-online email address given on their web page. They usually sign on at around 1600, but on Mondays and Fridays they are on the air until 1700. M.Ritola-FIN DXplorer-ML Sep 06
Radio Kahuzi aus Bukavu sendet Mo und Fr bis 17.00 UTC auf 6210 kHz. Meistens liegt man aber etwas tiefer. Bei meinen Empfangsversuchen war es immer so um 6209,6 bis 6209,7 kHz. Sendesprachen sind: franz., engl. und swahili. Gestern traf für einen Empfangsbericht vom 18.09.06 eine QSL-Karte ein, nachdem mein mail-Bericht schon am 18.09. vier Stunden später beantwortet wurde. W.-D.Behnke-D A-DX-ML Okt 06

The front had an outline map of Africa with a hut, palm tree, and local person on it. The inside of the card had the details. The back of the card stated that it was "a design utilizing dried banana bark by members of the Radio Kahuzi Club. There was then a card with a picture of Rich and Kathy McDonald and details of their mission inside. H.Johnson-WY-USA Cumbre DX-ML Okt 06

Coincidentally, my wife and I had just visited Radio Kahuzi's home office in San Marcos CA yesterday (2/2) where I received a QSL card for a Nov 2 2007 reception of Radio Kahuzi from DX Tuner Johannesburg. Only the second QSL I had ever received in person, the other one being from the same couple in September 2006. Thus far Radio Kahuzi has survived but the situation is quite perilous at the moment. B.Churchill-CA-USA CDX-ML Feb 08
Radio Kahuzi 6210 DR of Congo in Bukavu w/ computer-generated card w/ full details, no signature direct from R. Kahuzi home office in San Marcos CA. Also included nice confirmation note from Rich and Kathy McDonald w/ artistic bird-tree design made from banana bark by members of one of the local Radio Kahuzi "radio clubs". Listeners use Galcom SW radios tuned to 6.210 MHz w/ built-in solar panel. Very compact and rugged design and great idea for building a listener base. E-mail address is radiokahuzi@sbcglobal.net and station blog is at www.radiokahuzi.blogspot.com. QSL was from a November 2 2007 reception from DX Tuner Johannesburg. B.Churchill-CA-USA CDX-ML Feb 08

Radio Okapi, no data but confirmation of reception, French e-QSL via Dominique Jaccard with the Hirondelle Foundation (Dominique_Jaccard@hirondelle.org) in 4 days for a French report. Later : Sorry to say when I received the e-mail last night I assumed it was a confirmation but at lunchtime today did a quick check with a French dictionary at the library and find she did NOT confirm my report. Will have to get a full translation to see what happened. Will post more when I find out.Jerry, this response was to a FR e-mail that I sent her. I am waiting, along with everyone else for a response to my airmail letters, one to the Foundation and one via registered mail to Kinshasa, both in FR. Hope I have better luck when they get my mailed reports. R.Howard-CA-USA DXplorer-ML Apr 02

QSL: Radio Okapi : hier kam auch die QSL (leider ohne Details). Bericht mit den üblichen Details (ohne Soundfile) ging nach Kinshasa, QSL kam aus der Schweiz. H.Kuhl-D A-DX-ML Nov 02
Nachdem ich eine Woche lang jede Nacht mitgeschnitten habe, konnte ich Okapi am 11.11. von 0300-0530 UTC endlich hören. Extrem dünnes Signal, aber eine freie Frequenz. Ein E-Mail-Bericht an den Techniker vor Ort, Georges Schleger, VE2EK, wurde binnen weniger Stunden beantwortet; ich hatte zwei kurze mp3-Files mit der Jingle-ID angehängt, Georges schickte einige Fotos der Station mit. Außerdem versprach er, die Fondation Hirondelle in Lausanne darüber zu informieren, daß der Bericht OK sei und sie doch bitte eine QSL ausstellen sollen. Seine Mailadresse ist schleger@un.org Auf einem der Fotos ist der 49m-Band Sender abgebildet, die Frequenz ist tatsächlich 6030 und nicht 6300 wie öfter gemeldet wurde. Websites: www.radiookapi.net www.monuc.org M.Elbe-D A-DX-ML Nov 02

His e-mail notes that the station operates at 10 KW with a yagi 3 element antenna pointed to the east at 80 degrees from Kinshasa. He included pictures of himself at the transmitter and a nice shot of the antenna system. Georges can be reached at scheger@un.org R.D'Angelo-PA-USA DXplorer-ML Nov 02

We shall ask for some patience from you: the colleague who deals with the QSL requests is off for two weeks. She will give confirmation to your report when she is back. Best regards, Dominique Jaccard, desk officer." So, it would seem reports for this one to the Foundation Hirondelle is the way to go.
