I can clear up a couple of your questions.

6210 was Radio Telstar South.

The web address given by BRI is www.gazlinks.blogspot.com

I hope that helps!

Thanx ukdxer

I saw your logs as "Telstar South"...well, the beginning didn't sound like "Tel..." to me, nor the jingles (to me, it was something like "Sou-Sou-South"). But who knows those native English speakers and the (many) types of their pronounciation

BTW, any contact details of that station?

And another thing: your log as R. Kenwood could have been R. Sherwood (this station has been on the air in the past with short QSOs).

Thanks again! C u in Baarle next year perhaps
