That is not news (everyone knows that), and not a listening report.

So why you post it in the Euro Pirate section. Your listing was incorrect!

Several years ago a consensus was (informally) reached that the "hobby" low power SWBC stations in Europe would be logged on the Europe pirate board, rather than the SWBC board. I've slightly renamed the board to better reflect this: European Pirates and Private SWBC

If the pirates can't be separated from the privates (I think a joke might be in there somewhere), could at least a current list of private stations be pinned to the top of the group? I think it's confusing right now what's a pirate & what isn't in Europe. I can remember when Piepzender and Delta were pirates. I just looked at Piepzender's Twitter, FB, & website and nothing makes me think it's not. On the other hand, activity levels from stations like Zenith Classic Rock, Charleston Radio International, The Vault, Laser Hot Hits, & others would make me think that they might be licensed, but they aren't.
For some of the other stations that are relayed via licensed stations in Europe, it would be very similar to having separate shows on WBCQ being logged daily in the North American pirates section. It wouldn't render the logs useless, but would make it harder to sift through everything to find the information you're looking for.
BTW, here's a regular list of shortwave Europrivates: https://www.radioheritage.com/european-private-shortwave-stations/
