QSLs Received / Radio Plate Current

« on: January 01, 2014, 1555 UTC »

Received this email confirmation for last night's broadcast. Sounds like more formal QSL's are in the works.

Confirming reception of Radio Plate Current on 1/1/14 7:38Z 6925 KHz AM
Powered by Eimac. Big pipe vertical and power between 100 and 1000 watts somewhere in the X time zone.

I'm choosing to leave out the time zone for now.

Thanks RPC

Very big signal here at 2256z, S9+10 with some quick fades. 53544. High local RFI level hurts the audio quality when it fades to S9

2258z - Edison Lighthouse - Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes.
2307z - TCS SW network "Bubblegum" Express ID.

MW Loggings / W807 (presumed), 1710 am, 1630z , 12-25-13

« on: December 25, 2013, 1634 UTC »

Pretty sure this is Midwest pirate W807 coming through this morning with Carol Kings "It's Too Late" at 1630z. Bad MW antenna and local RFI not helping.

1637z - Cars - Bye Bye Love, Moving in Stereo
