Radio Free Asia (RFA) announces the release of our 40thQSL card. This is the fifth QSL
card commemorating 2011 as RFA’s 15thanniversary.
Rebiya Kadeer, exile Uyghur community leader, is president of the World Uyghur Congress and an advocate for China’s largely Muslim Uyghur minority. RFA’s first broadcast was in Mandarin Chineseon September 29, 1996 at 2100 UTC. Acting as a substitute for indigenous free media, RFA concentrates its coverage on events occurring in and/or affecting the countries to which we broadcast. Those countries are: Burma, Cambodia, Laos, North Korea, Peoples republic of China, and Vietnam. This QSL card will be used to confirm all valid reception reports for October 2011. Similar designs will continue to be announced monthly between now and the end of the year. To learn more about RFA’s anniversary, visit

RFA is a private, nonprofit corporation that broadcasts news and information to listeners in Asian countries where full, accurate, and timely news reports are unavailable. Created by Congress in 1994 and incorporated in 1996, RFA currently broadcasts in Burmese, Cantonese, Khmer, Korean to North Korea, Lao, Mandarin, the Wu dialect, Vietnamese, Tibetan (Uke, Amdo, and Kham), and Uyghur. RFA strives for accuracy, balance, and fairness in its editorial content. As a ‘surrogate’ broadcaster, RFA provides news and commentary specific to each of its target countries, acting as the free press these countries lack. RFA broadcasts only in local languages and dialects, and most of its broadcasts comprise news of specific local interest.

RFA confirms all accurate reception reports by mailing a QSL card to the listener. RFA welcomes all reception report submissions at
