Title: 6150 R Illuminati 1740 UTC 14 February 2016
Post by: DaveJV on February 14, 2016, 1758 UTC
Got a nice e-QSL for last evenings reception of R. Illuminati on 6150.  Thanks!!!  Says they are on 6150 again for Valentines Day today from 1500, and are indeed there now at 1745.  Fair on peaks and clear....except for a little local noise.
