Remember to write detailed reception reports that are useful to the station and prove that you heard the station. Provide detailed comments on reception conditions and program content. Not sure what to do? Sometimes, it can pay to do a "refresher" on report writing. If in doubt about how to improve your report writing, check out the following:

And, of course, we can attach a recording (either audio or video) in the email as evidence of our reception of the broadcasts.

73 and good luck QSLing Akashvani!
