Hallo Radio The beginning crew ,

The signal was really very weak here in  Veurne, Belgium, Europe.
•   TO:  Radio The Beginning
•   DATE: September 12, 2021
•   TIME: between 00.35 – 01.05 UTC
•   FREQUENCY: 6965 kHz AM
•   Quality of reception in SINPO-code:
             Signal strength: 2
             Interference: 5
             Noise: 1
             Propagation disturbance: 3
             Overall merit:  1
•   MY RECEIVER:  Perseus SDR
•   ANTENNA: Dipole 22.8 metres long, 10 metres high
•   PROGRAMME DETAILS AND REMARKS:
The signal was too weak to hear clear audio!
On https://youtu.be/7P4LCB-IiRs  you can find a short YouTube movie  from my Perseus receiver at 00.52 UTC. You can see the signal  I received of Radio The beginning on 6965 kHz! In it you also hear a minimum audio! It has an impression of how weak the signal and reception was here!
 
If this report is found to be correct, I would appreciate it very much if you will send me a verification (E-QSL), letter or  a  simple e-mail that it really was your station I heard on this time and frequency.
I hope to tune in to your station next time again with a better signal.
Thanking you in advance for your reply!
