Very nice material received today 11/12 via snail
mail from Fuxin (not SoHope ) for an email with full Sdr extracts s from a SoH
transmission on under 15 MHz transmission! He reception date it was on 17/8
and 0714UTC and after, listening and collecting all the SDR goodies offered
(pics of fading spectrum analysis recordings
and a full report ) on 11409.98kHZ as received via the Irkutsk kSDR
. Reception was OK for around 20 minutes
until the signal started to fade,
Even that the reception was intended for the S of Hope (Fuxin Menwai ) the person in charge Of Fuxin was impressed and enough as noted in his reply email. Not More a reason to add his full message , except he requested my standard mail address which was very soon provided to him by return email
Note also the all the avail email addresses for V of
Hope are really VOID and messages were
returned back…
Finally as noted in the start the parcel
was declared in the Greek customs, yielding for an unnecessary payment of
ca7 EU . That means i paid the 24% of the original price for a gift!
Included is also the declaration!see here the picture and read the notes as shown in the picture . The circled number id the assumed value - possibly as noted in the senders declaration.There is a VAT cost plus the customs fees.
It is very sad that even free material is passed thru the customs See also here the customs declaration
Note that today the above rate is 14.1 in euros EU yielding a rate 27% of VAT that is well above the standard 24% on the local taxes.... I feel rather betrayed by my country for that.
I rally wonder if the station is obliged to use the real value of the posted things or they could just declare that the things are sent as a gift, as on older times things were sent from the area worldwide. I still remember a person from an electronics company selling things and writing on the declaration as free gift back on the early 10s…
I had also the right to say : please return
this parcel back to the sender. Anyway even if that my income is quite
limited i preferred to receive the
gift.
Now let’s see what was inside the envelope
Here is a QSL , a wooden box , holder of possibly smartphones and a nice breloque as we call it [keychain]. in the main side the station name is shown in the older Chinese script together with the stations logo. In the other side there are all the frequencies they transmit,
This is the Front page of the QSL with a graphic of the studio and the micrpophone
and the read side the QSL with the details
And a really i would not write this post if any customs are not imposed!
Just to ask you . if this happened to you would you send the letter back or receive it and pay the quite high useless customs? Feel free to write that below or just PM me. Feel urged to reply! Thanks
