I worked GB5RC twice over the past few days, once in SSB and once in JT8, both on 14 MHz.

@ SV1XV

Maybe you can post the Confirmation QSL Card here?

During 'Banks Holiday'  2009 - Caroline was by RSL broadcasting on 531 Khz.
I had created few 'special' 531 Id Jingles - and some were airplayed !!!

Sure, when I receive it. It won't be soon, as I requested one via the RSGB QSL Bureau. It may take anything up to 10 months.
