Thanks much for the broadcasts! I think it was a great idea & the programming reminds me very much of pirate radio. I couldn't hear anything until you moved up to 4500 kHz, but I was following the programming on the YouTube feed. On 4500, I could hear a bit of your voice, but it was tough to hear. [...] Then I saw it switch to 6900 kHz & I went back up to switch to that frequency. What a difference! Loud and clear!

One thing that you'll probably like from the recording is that you can hear pescadores saying "hola" in the background. I thought maybe you added in a few shortwave sounds to the audio mix, but I tuned back a few minutes later & strong pescadore conversation was running on 6900 kHz USB. Anyway, here are the details:

I listened to the broadcast on a Drake R8 communications receiver connected to an inverted V antenna cut for 6300 kHz with the peak at 24 feet. I could also hear it on 6900 on a Sangean ATS-818CS on just the whip antenna, but the signal wasn't nearly as strong.
