 Hi TrI,

Thanks for the report. Sorry don't do QSL cards. Equipment here mostly homebrew running around 50watts into end fed half wave long wire at only 4m above ground.
Location SE England. I can be heard occasionally at W1NT on their websdr in New Hampshire USA.
Regards, 
SW

Heard at 15.45 UTC 28th March with CW message and Proton email address. S9+5dB.

A good catch Mr TRI International , I don't think I would have recognised this as a pirate beacon.
Own rx and aerial. I use my ears to identify music, so titles may not always be completely accurate.
