HCJB, via Bonaire?

Thanks Steve.

LOL, not sure what you're thanking me for.

I was wondering... HCJB was out of Quito, Ecuador... I don't recall them
being
via Bonaire...

Maybe It was Trans World Radio in Bonaire via HCJB? I gota look in my old
logs. Be back in a bit.

Actually, I think my earliest QSL dates from January 1967. From Radio Bucharest,
Romania.

I may have an earlier one from 1966, but I'm not sure.

Well, TWR is/was in Bonaire, but not via HCJB.

I found it. It was just a QSL from TWR in Bonaire and I got a QSL from HCJB
Quito at around the same time. So those are my first two. I just put the two
together in my head. LOL!

Easy enough to do Brian, just wait until you get older. It gets harder and
harder to remember. Glad you still have those QSL's.

Oh Boy! I'm glad I got em too. I'll need all the help I can get to back up
my claims in old age. LOL!

HCJB (via Quito, heh). 1976. I was 10 years old at the time...

I'd listened for several years before becoming interested
in QSLs enough to request them every once in a while.
For the most part, I chased Pirates simply because it
was interesting to try to find them on 7415. My old period
of listening to shortwave ended not too long after I got
married and in the ensuing merge of stuff into one
apartment, the shortwave equipment kind of got stuck
in a cornerI didn't listen to shortwave much for a
period of several years in the mid-90s. Then, several years
later (1999), I caught the shortwave bug again after my
daughter's birth in late '98 gave me a reason to stay up for
a late feeding. (Having a house then helped a lot in making
sure that I had space for my stuff.)

Old Period: C-SIC (Pirate Station), ~1993.
New Period: Radio Austria International, 1999. (Even
got my letter read on the air, too.)

Mine was Radio Norway which used to broadcast in English, in 1964.

I first heard HCJB in 1972 and at no time in the
seventies did they use the RN relay facility at
Bonaire. They had no need. They signals from
Quito were HUGE in North America..
