QSLs Received / Wolverine Radio eQSL's NOT!

« on: May 12, 2016, 2337 UTC »

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!

I believe this WDDR eQSL is a first.....somebody must love me!

YL with a single set of 5 digit numbers in Spanish followed by a sustained tone and a some kind of growling white noise sound at 2115 UTC tune in....OFF at 2122 UTC
(I'm not well versed in these things but it seems this is a so called "Hybrid Mixed" type labeled HM01 and the "growling white noise sound" is actually some kind of data xmsn...interesting!)
2129 UTC YL back on again with continuous reading of 5 digit numbers in Spanish
(Signal is S5 here and quite readable...so this is from Habana?)
2133 UTC Back to the "Redundant Digital File Transfer" format interspersed with single set of 5 digit Spanish numbers
