deteriorating quickly under "sweeper" QRM.
Contemporary religous pops and ballads, tentative ID

QSL:
PIRATE, NORTH AMERICA, 6955, WJFK, Unsolicited
"Broadcasting through-out Eternity" QSL sheet with the
date 1998 and frequency 7415 crossed out, replaced
with 2003 and 6955. Also included was the UPC bar code
from a bubble gum wrapper. (Barbour-NH)

I receieved a similar WJFK QSL last year for a
broadcast I never heard. Based on what I have read in
the DX/Pirate press, WJFK did not broadcast this year.
I will gratefullyy acccept it as my current QSL
response rate has slowed to a crawl. Maybe this is the
new trend in QSLing, stations you don't hear that
don't broadcast issue cards while the stations you 
log and write too don't reply!
