During last nights WDDR broadcast, the Drunken DJ said the following at 0222 UTC (Somewhat paraphrased)
"Someone's been sending eQSL's for...Wolverine Radio...No, it's not me...it's not official...they're not real at all...it's not from me"

Ya just gotta love pirate radio....no bounds, no rules, no respect....that's why I love it!
