WKND (unidentified relay) eQSL - 31 OCT

Thanks, Boomer.   8).  Posting your email under eQSL so your appreciation goes out (email unprompted):




"Hi CT Yankee,

Thanks for tuning in the WKND relay!

6955 upper sideband on October 31st 2026 - Halloween.

I don't know who the relaying station was, but maybe they are familiar with WKND's history, since it was started on Halloween 1988 with a broadcast above the AM band.

I always have thought that Halloween was the biggest broadcast day for WKND and tried to make the broadcasts better every year, improved programming or a higher antenna or more powerful transmitter.

During the show I was out trick-or-treating, and when I got back, there was an e-mail from a DXer in Florida with his reception. Huh? The station wasn't mentioned, but it was dog stuff like WKND would do and I thought to check at the HFU to see if they had anything.

Thanks to whomever relayed it!

I thought about making a new QSL, but wanted to get something out quickly, and since it was a 1990s broadcast, I wanted to find a 90s QSL to stay in the spirit of the era.

Radios here are Realistic DX-440 and a WEB-888 SDR. No working HF transmitters.
