0035 Making it into Milford PA SDR, poor to fair signal, ID via comparison with closer SDR. Certainly unusual to pick up any Europeans in the US except for traces. It didn't occur to me that it would be a European pirate--I was hoping Radio Clube do Pará (Brazil) was back on, but no such luck.
Big into SWDX late 70s through early 90s, then forgot about it and when I returned via SDRs it wasn't at all what I remembered, but I'll deal with it. Grumble, grumble. All SDRs acknowledged, nothing is from my own radio.
