Bogusman eQSL and Delta Radio photo

eQSL received from Bogusman - skip actually short enough to hear for a change.

Delta Radio Int sent some photos. He said the station has been around since the 1970s but has not been heard on shortwave for several years. He said he will produce a QSL for future broadcasts. I believe this is a separate Delta Radio from two other Delta radios on shortwave - one who also calls himself Technical Man and Delta Radio (West Brabant).

Many thanks.
