RUSSIA
Tatarstan

The station "Tatarstan Awazy" (Voice of Tatarstan) now confirms listeners'
reports with QSL cards. You may address you reports to: QSL manager, P.O.Box
134, Kazan, Tatarstan, 420136, Russia.

Unfortunately, due to the lack of funds, station asks its listeners to
compensate costs of printing and posting the cards. The return postage is 1
IRC for Russia and CIS states, and 2 IRCs (or 1 US$) for the rest of the
world. Alternatively, listeners in Russia may send mint stamps (3 x postage
price of ordinary internal letter).

The station also introduced the honorary diploma. To receive it, applicants
must send in 12 correct reports during a year. The diploma costs 2 IRCs for
Russia, and 4 IRCs for abroad. Direct your applications to the above
address. You will receive the detailed diploma conditions together with your
first QSL.
