Yep - you read that right. I got a QSL 14 years after this report:

Thank you very much L&M radio for finding and QSL'ing my old report of your Mystery Science Radio show.  8)

Could be. I have a hardcopy Sunshine & Grasscutter Radio QSL from February of '09, so they were active then.

To make this even more interesting, I actually found some audio from this Lawnmower & Moonshine broadcast. I used to do more pirate recording back then and I'm surprised I had this.

I love this whole post. The eQSL, the fact that the broadcast was 14 years ago, AND that you had recorded and uploaded your RX. Wish I was into shortwave pirates back then.

Might be a new indoor record. If it was from WDOG, it would have only been 2 (dog) years.  ;)

Grass clippings combined with moonshine have been known to reduce response times (and objects in the rear view mirror may be closer than they appear). Very cool, Zane!
