QSLs Received / Re: Confirmation by Radio Free Whatever

Lucky hit, lucky you, Claudio! Congratulations!
My several reports during the past decade left unanswered by DJ Dickweed,
although it would have been so easy to send the e-report back in using
the return key with just a taut "report verified herewith".... but nothing!
Tooooo bad!

Maybe he's thinking: You're meddling in things that ought not to be meddled in.

North American Shortwave Pirate / Re: RFW 6960 was 6950 USB 2314 UTC Apr 10, 2016

« on: April 11, 2016, 0741 UTC »

Again checked my tonight's Perseus SDR recording and discovered this one too!
Very noisy band here too heard only bits and pieces of music and talk on 6960 USB,
at about 00.24 UTC but illegible all of the stuff. Faded out lateron at about 00.30 UTC
Hopefully the next occasion propagation will be better again for more.
Thanks Dickweed for programme anyway. SINPO only 21221

Hey Fearless Fred! Great news, wow, 9 single watts and across the pond!
Congratulations! Propagation was good the early night (your afternoon) but
decreased immediately after about 2300 UTC, so e.g. Wolverine and WREC
weren't as good as "normally" during the night. But we have a silent day here
as well, bad propagation on the 48 and 45mB now. Maybe the later afternoon
may turn out better results. Thanks for your efforts in providing your shows!
Take care!

as e-mail address (and even faster reply, as far as I realized) or:
