Radio Augusta eQSL

 

Radio Augusta sent me an eQSL for its shortwave broadcast via Radio Onda's transmitter in Luxembourg on 6140 kHz. The station can be heard daily between 1800-1900 UTC with a good signal. The station used to broadcast via a relay in Belgium on 1611 kHz until this was taken off the air last year by the Belgian authorities.

Many thanks for the eQSL. 

Radio Overdrive and Radio Cuckoo eQSLs

 

A new UK station on shortwave is Radio Overdrive who I heard with a weak signal last weekend on 6250 kHz. But the station operator is no stranger to the shortwave free radio scene. In the 1970s and 1980s he operated a station called Radio Corsair.

Recently Corsair celebrated its 50th anniversary with a special broadcast on FM. But he is hoping to get Corsair back on to shortwave.

On August 9 and 10, Overdrive will be doing a special broadcast to mark the 80th anniversary of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs. It will be on 9940 kHz from 4pm to 8pm using the name "The Peace Pirate." Special QSLs will be provided for correct reports. 

There is more information about Corsair and Overdrive on the website: https://sites.google.com/view/radio-overdrive

I also have received an eQSL from Radio Cuckoo, from Ireland. The station was heard with a good signal on Tuesday.

Many thanks for these eQSLs!
