"QSL 6617 kHz Volmet?"


ChatGPT:

Yes — the 6617 kHz signal you heard is indeed a Russian VOLMET broadcast 
in USB mode. Two likely transmitters are St. Petersburg (on the +05, 
+10, +35 and +40 minute marks past the hour) or Rostov (on +25 and +55 
minutes), both running 24/7

📨 QSL / Reception Reports

1. Russian VOLMET stations generally do not issue QSL cards.
Unlike many international broadcasters, Russian aviation weather 
services typically don’t confirm listener reception with QSLs. There are 
no publicly listed addresses or email contacts offering that service.

2. How to submit a reception report (for future reference)
For broadcasters that do accept reports, include the following in your 
message:

     Date & UTC time of reception

     Frequency (6617 kHz USB)

     Reception quality (e.g. “SINPO 44444”)

     Copy of what you heard (METAR/TAF for specific airports)

     Equipment used and your location

✅ What You Can Do

     Log and document your RX (reception): timestamps, airport IDs, 
signal report.

     Send to relevant Russian authorities: try emailing or writing to 
the Russian aviation weather service or associated military 
communications organization. Unfortunately, there's no official 
publicized channel for listener reports.

     Join DX/shortwave forums: communities like HF Underground or 
RadioReference (linked above) often share recent reports and might know 
contact info updated by hobbyists.

For other international VOLMETs—like Canada, Australia, or New 
Zealand—full QSL procedures are public (often via email, with responses 
in a few months) .
