“Thank you for your report, we appreciate it.
We do our best to broadcast as many different kinds of music as possible in a short time.
Also, John is the owner of Radio Europa.
We are a group of brothers who have been doing this hobby since the 1970s.
We work here with a home‑built inverted‑V antenna and, since last year, a factory‑made transmitter.
Before that we were still using home‑built transmitters and tube modulators.
We will send you some photos, and if you would like to know more, we would be happy to hear it.
