Dear Sirs, I send you a reception report on yours short wave transmission of 15 august 19 Hello, I’m Francesco, my qth is near Sondrio in northern Italy and I’ve been listening to the radio for many years, especially free stations, DX south American, caribbean and pirate stations. I listened to your broadcast on the 6290 KHz frequency with an excellent signal, unfortunately at 3.30 pm (UTC) the signal became very weak. I really appreciated your musical choices and I hope to listen to you more often. Best regards to DJs and staff. 73’ Francesco

To everyone in the bunker
I heard some of your broadcast on 6285Khz a little earlier today and thought I’d send a reception report.
To be honest, reception on the radio at my home wasn’t the best quality. While your signal was reasonably strong there was a lot of atmospheric / static noise that made listening difficult at times, to point the signal was lost in the noise. This seems to have been a feature of many shortwave bands over recent weeks and probably wasn’t helped by the rain storms we had here during the day. I check reception on a couple of KiwiSDR’s in the London area and reception on them suffered from QRN noise just as much.
It’s pity the noise was so bad because the music you played sounded a great selection. I have included details below, hopefully I have got most right but there were a couple where I struggled to identify the artist even if I did get the song title. Anyway I hope this report is useful and if you can verify it I would appreciate a QSL/eQSL.
Kind Regards Chris
Hello
I´m just listening to your programm on 6285 kHz.. At 16.06 UTC I heard the Caroline song, at 16.10 Sweet Soul Music and at the moment House of the Rising Sun. Reception is fine, loud and clear modulation. There is some fading and static noise. SINFO 4 5 3 3 4 Narrow audio works very well. My receiver is Winradio G303 e PD on 16m wire with balun. I live in a small town in a region called Bavarian Forest. Its not far from the Czech border. I´m 66 years old and have been listening to free radio for many years, but I have not much time to write reports. Sometimes I´m on Iann´s chat, my nickname is Funkenblitz. I´m looking forward receiving a QSL from you.
Best 73s Josef Koeppl Steinaecker 18 D- 94234 Viechtach,
and a very good afternoon to You!
I very rarely send reception reports but I thought I can make an exception with you 😊. I am always excited in hearing a pirate station. My name is Pekka and I have been a radio enthusiast for 40 years now. I started dxing as a young boy. I was 15 years old. I stopped for a while (35 years!) when I started working and got myself couple of kids and a lovely wife. We are still happily married but children are all grown up and moved away from their childhood home. That is why I now have more spare time and I started dxing again. Got myself a Wellbrook ALA1530LN antenna from UK and Airspy HF+ SDR receiver from China just before Christmas 2018. My main interest is medium waves and 48 meters and other pirate bands and I already have heard BC-stations from North- and South America and the Caribbean area. Also lots of Asian MW-stations and best of all: my first Australian MW-station, ABC Adelaide on 891kHz. And of course lots and lots of pirates. I just recently acquired another antenna from Wellbrook, this time ALA100LN and it is now up and beamed to Holland. It receives very very well. I am 55 years old this summer and I work as a practical nurse in a group home for young people with autism diagnose. Very rewarding job. My home town Kotka is in southeastern part of Finland with about 55 000 inhabitants. It is a very beautiful town with lots of nature and especially built parks that are famous all over Finland. You must come and see them Yourself. I am enclosing a link to my Onedrive account where you can see and listen to video/audio clip from your transmission. KR1 on 6285kHz <click this>
You can see the details in the software, date: 7th of August, time: 16:10UTC and the frequency of course: 6285kHz (I like to listen with ECSS and it gives the exact fq). Hope to get an e-qsl or something to verify my reception, but it is totally up to you. 😊. I am hoping that you continue broadcasting. If you do, I am there, listening to you. Pekka from Finland
I´ve made a dutch friend last weekend. Radio Black Arrow op Alex. I spent two nights with him listening to pirates in Finnish DX-association´s summer meeting.
“You are tuned to the King of Shortwave, KR1.”
Good afternoon KR1.
Great music. “Caroline” and “Light My Fire” are two of my favorites. The rest of the tunes you’re playing are very enjoyable. If you have other songs by the Fortunes, please play one or two for me. They’re one of the least-appreciated European groups in the US.

Hi there,
greetings from the coast of Ireland! Today I´ve received the King of Shortwave on 48meters. I´am just on holidays in Malin Head, the most Northern point of Ireland. It is a very beautiful area. Today the weather is rather bad until now. I´t s a rainy and windy sunday, 17 degrees. But listening with a view to the Atlantic is a real pleasure. And I enjoyed the powerful signal of KR1! Nice mixture of music -real good entertainment on Short Wave! Here´s a detailed reception report from my side:
KR1 -the King of Shortwave Date: 21st of July, 2019 Time: 12:35-13:38UTC (close down)
My receiver: portable set SONY ICF 2001D (Made in Japan in 1990) with simple telescopic antenna + 7meters longwire Location: Malin Head, Ireland Thanks for the program. I really appreciate the Pirate For Peace Network and your announced slogan “be peaceful and love democracy”. I´m interested in more information and I will visit your homepage. Good to know that´s it´s possible to listen live 24/7. So I can listen at home via internet. As a keen short wave listener I would be very glad to get a verification (QSL) from your station as a memory to this contact during my holidays. I´m going to stay on holidays in the area and I hope to hear you again. About myself: Meanwhile I´m 63years old and I live in Sangerhausen, a small town in the East part of Germany.

Hi KR1- Team,
I think I had the pleasure to listen to your nice music program at the first time. I received your program on 6285 kHz with fair to good results. There was no interference by other stations and your signal was clear mostly. Sometimes it was a little bit weak to understand all announcements in detail. The announcements were very professional. You could tell that a DJ announced. At first I heard different instrumental recordings. Unfortunately I don’t know the titles. Later on I heard a song by ABBA as cover version I think. I like such music. You also send greetings to your listeners. This is indeed a very good idea.
I’m a DX-er and radio listener for more than 40 years and I received programs from many pirates, mainly from the Netherlands. I also received QSL-cards from many different radio stations around the world and of course from pirates. Hope my report is of interest for you, Below you can find my report:

I am pleased to inform you that I listened to your broadcast yesterday from Velizy, France. Velizy is located southeast from Paris. I am an Amercian but work for a French company called Dassault Systemes and I’m on a temporary assignment here in France. I packed my WinRadio on this trip and DX as much as I can. I also have my Sony 2010 portable so I am prepared to do battle, I submit this reception report plus a audio file, I heard your broadcast 11 May 2014 from 0951 – 1011 UTCon a frequency of 6240 AM Khz, Your signal was fair with some fading. There was a moderate level of atmospheric noise, which affected reception. There was no interference. Overall reception quality was fair. SINPO: 35333
Hi KR1
I am 55 years old and married. My wife’s name is Ellen and we have three children, all boys. Their names are Chris (25), Pat (22) and Mike (19). Two are out of college and one is in.

I have been a shortwave listener for over 35 years. My receiver at home is a Ten-Tec RX340 and a WinRadio attached to Alpha Delta DX-Sloper antenna. Of course I have a Sony 2010, a great shortwave portable. Listening to shortwave is my hobby as I enjoy the challenge and entertainment of listening to radio stations on shortwave. I am a member of the NASWA and currently the editor of the International Band Column and an editor for the Free Radio Weekly (a weekly Pirate Broadcast newsletter) I hope this report will be of value to you: 0951, -Tuned into a song, 0953, -Station ID & promo’s, -Music: Male vocal – pop song -I recorded this segment for you, 0956, -Music: ‘Rita’ 0959 -Music: Pop song..male singer, 1003, Station ID-Music: oldie 1005-Music: ‘Golden Years’ by David Bowie 1008 -Very noisy now.

If you find my information correct, I would be grateful for a card or letter from you, which would confirm my reception.. A QSL verification of this reception would be most welcome.

Dear Sirs from KR1,
I think to have heard your station on the May 11th 2014 at 20.55-21.25 hours UTC. The station was heard in english on the frequency of 6260 kHz, 47,92 metres of the shortwaves, and I heard the programmes according to the MP3 recording attached. The signal strenght was good to fair without interferences (SINPO 33533). I used a receiver model PL-660 Tecsun and an external windom antenna of 21 metres long.If the recording attached corresponds with the programmes of that day, I hope that you will be able to write me a verification of reception (QSL) encouraging me that I really tuned in to your station. Hoping for your positive reaction, thanking you in advance, I send you my best regards. Luca

hello KR1,
I guess I was able to listening your station last night. Not sure about the exact ID, because I don’t understood the ID. Propagation was very poor all day, and in the dark hours was a little better, but not too much.
I like to listening free radios, and I use to collect e-qsl confirmations, a hobby, really
Take a look to my report please
date 11-5-2014 frequency 6260 khz UTC 2215-2230 sinpo 24322 no interferences from other station, some local noises from tv sets and storms around my town. Little fading too. Receiver was Kenwood R 2000 antenna 10 m line at the terrace, listening at home in downtown,
details: this was some pop ballad. Then your ID and some talks. Later Reggae with Bob Marley. more reggae at 2219 also funky gilr. Then a ballad by man., 2224 more pops, a cover of the song Agapimú. Later at 2228 pop dance electronic music. Don’t noted more details, It was time to sleep here, sorry.
If the report is correct, I will be happy with your e-qsl confirming.
thanks for your music and fight for the free radio, Take care,

Dear radio friend of KR1,
My name is Per Eriksson and I have, according to many of my friends, a strange hobby. I enjoy listening to short- and mediumwave radio stations from all over the world. All they hear from the loudspeakers is the noise, but to me radio over the borders open new horizons. I know that a lot of other stations stream their programs on the Internet, but that is certainly not the same as catching the signal on air. That said, I am very pleased to inform you that I have been able to catch your signal on shortwave 6240 kHz on Saturday, May 10th, 2014. Got the tip that you were on the air from Ianns chatroom. Your signal was on the poor side with the normal shortwave noise. The SIO (Signal strength, Interference and Overall rating) was 2, 3, 2 (on the 1-5 scale, where 5 is best). Enjoyed these songs: 09:16 hrs UTC: “When I need you” by leo Sayer 09:21 hrs UTC: “La difference” by BZN 09:28 hrs UTC: “Papi” by Jennifer Lopez To prove reception and give you a better understanding of the reception quality over here I have recorded a short mp3-clip. It was made at 09:27 hrs UTC (Universal Coordinated Time). You will hear mail address. Save the clip or listen to it by navigating to this link: www.eriksson.info/2014/kennemerradio.mp3 Part of my radio hobby is to collect “confirmation on reception” from the stations that I hear. If you find that the station I have heard to be Kennemer Radio I would appreciate an verification in return as a verification on listening in. An e-mail saying “it’s us” will do fine! On the personal side I live my my family, wife and two teenagers, in Malmö. I was an avid shortwave listener and DX-er back in the 1970’s. My interest in radio has never faded completely and I have tried to listen every now and then during the years. Back in 2010 I got myself the Microtelecom Perseus software defined receiver and are now more active listening than ever before. Must say that I am proud of catching your signal with an outside large aperture loop antenna. Thanks a lot for your attention, I do look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely yours.
