Radio Free Asia - short notes

Subject: [Rfaqsl] Latest QSL news from RFA
To: qsl <qsl@rfa.org>
 
Dear friends,
 
Just a few short notes from all of us at RFA:
 
1. We removed the map, with pins, from our Automated Reception Report System (ARRS) at https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftechweb.rfa.org%2F&amp;data=04%7C01%7C%7Cc64a75857b8745d49b7508d96c9502e0%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637660209521353725%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&amp;sdata=dI7O3B9XEHLcYI%2Bl%2BKjOzryuANqV9dvjp1h5iK7cOt8%3D&amp;reserved=0 so we can eventually update it.
That page needed an update for a while and we're currently looking at what Google, Amazon Web Services, and others may provide.
There is no target date yet but we will let you know when we are ready to add the map feature back to RFA's ARRS.
 
2. The pandemic continues to hamper our ability to confirm reception reports quickly. Instead of days or weeks, it now takes months before we get to most RRs. Please be patient but also feel free to write us at qsl@rfa.org to follow up on any RFA reception reports you've sent, but have gone months without hearing from us.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
You received this email because you expressed interest in RFA's QSL cards.
Please let us know if you prefer to be removed from our distribution list.
 
Best wishes; stay healthy.  73.  aj
