Radio Free Asia Releases Khene QSL
Radio Free Asia (RFA) announces the release of our 58th
QSL. It is the fourth design in the
series "Celebrating Musical Instruments of Asia". This card shows a khene
, which is a traditional Lao mouth organ played primarily in Laos and
Thailand. The khene’s pipes are made of bamboo, while its reed, which vibrates
to produce the sound, is made of brass or silver. The khene is usually played
using a pentatonic scale, using five notes per octave as opposed to the seven
notes per octave used in most Western music. This QSL is used to confirm all
valid reception reports from May 1 to July 31, 2015.

Created by Congress in 1994 and incorporated in 1996, RFA
broadcasts in Burmese, Cantonese, Khmer, Korean to North Korea, Lao, Mandarin
(including 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. More information about Radio Free Asia,
including our current broadcast frequency schedule, is available at
www.rfa.org.
Reception reports are also accepted by email at
qsl@rfa.org and by mail to:
