Thanks for broadcast, very enjoyable - a very handsome eQSL, too!  Almost looks like you once designed album covers for the groups Boston and ELO  .

And now in German (software translator) as the emails come in that language:

Vielen Dank für die Übertragung, sehr unterhaltsam – auch ein sehr schönes eQSL! Es sieht fast so aus, als hätten Sie einmal Albumcover für die Gruppen Boston Und ELO entworfen.

Ich kann kein Deutsch, ein Softwareprogramm wurde für mich übersetzt.
