 Thanks for the nice QSL!

Email verification from Radio Powerplay

 Thanks for the verification, Powerplay team!

Hello Alexandr,

we are just at the beginning of our Station. There is no Picture i can send you.

Powerplay comes from a […] TV-Movie about Pirate Radio, later there was a real pirate station, later there where some UKW-Pirates. For some years there was silence and now we try to establish good and regular shows again.

I gladly confirm your report: Radio Powerplay was on Air on 10.02.2018 @ 3.840MHz

Regards,

The Powerplay-Team

QSL WEGP The Presence Radio

 Thank you for the QSL-letter, bumper sticker and other materials!

QSL Radio Amathusia

 Got this nice paper QSL from Dutch official station Radio Amathusia. Thanks a lot for it! It is very hard to catch this station here in Kyiv by reason of early time of transmission and constant massive QRM from North-Korean jammer on 6003 kHz. What do that Kim’s idiots still jam there? Echo of Hope seems to left the frequency.
