An eQSL from their 15 minute English program a few days ago.

Very nice. I'm going to try for their 1345z broadcast on 15460 today.
I've never had any luck with them though. Maybe their 0945z or 1200z broadcast would be better.

My location that I noted on reception report, which they didn't cite, was from near Princeton, NJ.  Albeit, just using whip on Tecsun H-501x. I don't know if the 140 mile change in location to southwest is what did the trick but nothing received at home today with the long wire.

I did have a weak carrier and maybe.....bits of audio. A few times a day I get some RFI from my neighbors solar panels. The HFU kiwis had fair audio. I going to keep trying for this one!

Nice. I got a paper one from them several years back, 2016 IIRC. It makes sense they're switching to eQSL's but it's kind of a shame at the same time.
