Reception report was emailed on 24 September 2014. David replied with this eQSL and message later in the evening, saying: "Yes, I can confirm that it was my OTR station that you heard. I use Twente as a monitor in early evening until it fades and then use the Global receiver at Rimini Italy. I have a draft QSL that I am sending you. I am in fact in the UK. I am operating with seven watts output power from a vintage home-brew transmitter and a laptop using software (Optimod type) compressor / limiter called 'Stereo Tool'. All the best."
