Key Channel Radio prepares to celebrate 2nd birthday

Dear friends, we are ready for our first broadcast of 2018. Two years have passed, at this time our little radio has never stopped giving satisfaction. So many friends spread all over the world who have listened to us and written.

In this new episode we including to insert a novelty, a nice interview with a very special person. John Trudell, a musician, little known in Europe who has dedicated his life to defend the rights of the Native Americans and consequently to all of us, not forgetting to propose his great music. We could do not dedicate a space in our programming.

We also continue the collaboration with the good "Artem's World Music" that also in this episode will inform us about the situation of the Cuban Radio stations, with many beautiful songs.

We hope many of you will heard !
Jasmine.

eQSLs from USA and Ireland

I was delighted to receive an eQSL from Channel Z Radio in the USA, after hearing him on the SW England SDR during the Global HF Weekend in early November. In his email he said Channel Z has been on the air since 2004 and has been heard in North America, across Europe plus Venezuela, Japan and New Zealand. He was using a Dave Martin (of WNKR) designed Commando transmitter.

Also today I received an eQSL from Radio Nova International, broadcasting from the east coast of Ireland. In his email Tony talked about his long interest in radio, the pirate scene in Ireland and his plan to broadcast on 75m. He also mentioned he was big fan of the original Radio Nova - hence the name.

Thanks for the great QSLs.
