Radio Japan used to be a good verifier of reception reports and I also have received lots of QSL Cards from the station..Here is a scanned version(both sides of a beautiful QSL Card for a reception report for Radio Japan Hindi Service received in 2005 signed by Radio Japan's T Sato.It is showing "Snow On a fishing port" Ine-cho,Yosa-gun,Kyoto Prefecture
