QSL from Radio Sofia in Bulgaria
- Station: Radio Sofia in Bulgaria
Band: Shortwave
Date: Around 1970
About: Radio Sofia was a popular shortwave station in the 1970s. Bulgaria was part of Eastern Europe and thus behind the iron curtain. They had to please the USSR. However their cultural programming was often interesting and educational. They are still broadcasting but with a reduced shortwave footprint.

Notes: I found the architecture, automobiles and park space pictured on the QSL card fascinating. It is a photo of Sofia University in Sofia, Bulgaria. Around 2010 I met several seasonal workers from Sofia that were employed just outside of Yellowstone Park. They were so surprised that I had heard of Sofia and knew where it was located!

Notes: I tuned into the Overcomer broadcast from Bulgaria and enjoyed listening to the late Brother Stair. I emailed the ministry at lastime@overcomerministry.org . The next morning they sent an eQSL which I displayed above. They were happy to confirm my report and appreciated hearing about the Bulgarian transmitter's signal and broadcast quality.
