Was listening to Channel Z on my RX in the UK, 80 miles north of London.
Best reception in last 15 minutes S9+.
Heard sign off at 00:06 UTC, played out with Queen 7 seas of Rye.
Fantastic reception you must listen to this recording,
channel z2.mp3 - 2.70MB
RX was a Yaesu FT840 and a G5RV at 30 foot above ground.
Here is a link to a recording that was made earlier in the show, not sure of the timings!

Hello Dave,
I listened to your audio, I congratulate you very good reception of Channel Z, regrettably I was not for the listening it is really too late. I have already listened several times Channel Z but not with a so good signal.
Channel Z is a good very nice station and 100 % QSL as WNKR, fortunately as there are much more good stations than of bad.
Dave still bravo but you are as well closer the USA as me Hi.....

It was maximum of 25 watts using a TX built to my Commando design.
Here is a photo of the TX,

Also heard here on top o' the mountain Sat. 5 May for the first time. Heard the last 15 minutes or so of the show, on 6925.25 in AM mode with nice signals. Also ended with the Queen song, so not sure if the same show, or this is regular ending song for his shows. I saw a posting on FRN where he said running 20-watts. He announced e-mail for reports of channelzradio (at) gmail (dot) com, and mailing address of P.O. Box 109, Blue Ridge Summit, PA 17214, U.S.A. Nice to finally hear this one; now looking forward to hearing one of his relays of WNKR!

Nice Reception!

Thanks Dave for the audio clips; very nice reception indeed. I was running the 20 watt Commando at the time.
Thus far I've received reports from France (Marcel), NL (Alex, John, and Rinus), and UK (Dave).
Looking forward to some more reports from Europe, so please tune around this evening, we'll probably be on around 6965 or 6950.
