QSL Polaris Radio 6390 kHz

I got a nice e QSL document for my reception of pirate radio station Polaris Radio on 6390 kHz. It had with quite a bit of information which I will not share here for obvious reasons. Unlike most pirate stations they are transmitting from the western part of The Netherlands with a maximum power of 2 kW into an inverted V antenna. I sent my report to polarisradio@hotmail.com .

QSL Xenon Transmitting Company 6205 kHz

eQSL Xenon Transmitting Company 6205 kHz

A QSL from Xenon Transmitting Company on 6205 kHz, broadcasting from England, United Kingdom.
I sent my report to xtcshortwave@googlemail.com .
As they write in their email:

XTC (full name the Xenon Transmitting Company) has been on the air since 1993. We like to talk about various subjects rather than just play music. XTC does not have a regular schedule, but we try to be on the air over the Bank Holidays, Easter and Christmas.

If you google  ‘UK Free Radio Shortwave Memories from the 1990’s’ you will find a very good blog which has more information about XTC and other stations that were active during that decade.

I sent my report to radiovoyager@hotmail.com . They have a facebook page shared with – guess what – Enterprise Radio ! Star Trek fans will understand the connection. Unfortunately I’ve only just applied for membership, so I can’t tell you much more about this station.

QSL Cupid Radio 6290 kHz

QSL Cupid Radio 6290 kHz
QSL Cupid Radio from The Netherlands

A birthday present! Upon return from a nice birthday dinner I noticed that I was receiving Cupid Radio on 6290 kHz on my SDR receiver. Dropped an email to cupidradio@hotmail.com which was read during the show. The next day I wrote a full report which was answered with a personal email and this nice QSL card.

I was told that they were operating on 15105 towards the US earlier that evening. They moved to 6290 kHz when the band closed, and that’s where I found them playing hard rock music like AC/DC and Kiss. The power is 500 Watts generated by two Russian GU81 tubes… and I like that sort of technology as that is the sort of stuff that got me into radio! This YouTube video gives you a good impression about the size of these things!

Cupid Radio has a very interesting Facebook page… I encourage you all to check it out! They run SSTV as well, albeit mainly on 13 and 19 m…. I would really like to catch one of those!
