Radio Kolibrie photos

I've had a reply from low power Dutch station Radio Kolibrie who can sometimes be heard on 6240 kHz. He said first started on the FM band when he was 15 years old and has been active on shortwave, and sometimes medium wave, for the past nine years.

He runs just five watts into a six metre longwire. He also sent a selection of photos of his studio and antenna. Thanks Kolibrie.
