YouTube clip of three separate ID's in English from Radio Europe, a low power* broadcaster in Holland on 6130 kHz. Total clip runtime is a minute and a half:
ID #1 at :12 seconds
ID #2 at :43 seconds
ID #3 at 1:07 min/seconds

*In their email they stated... "6130 has a continuous power of 600 Watt pep this transmitter is running in a quiet position can deliver more power."
If they truly mean 600 watts PEP - then this would really be about 150 watts AM carrier. Either way they are using very low power for shortwave broadcasting!
These ID clips taken from listening/recording session on Jan 26, 2023 from 05:37 until 7:37 UTC.
Reception was noticeably better on the horizontal NVIS antenna than the vertical

"broadcaster in Holland" 600w PEP---
Seems unlikely to me but--- I guess maybe???
My 1st thought was he is in the SE US somewhere?
Or you had a "pipe" to Holland that day.

Just curious, why do you think that he could be in SE USA ?

Best suggestion is to Google it - lots to find online if you dig. I have eQSL from them and a nice email message with some misc photos, etc.
Here's a guide to more cool European shortwave broadcasters...

Yes, but it says from Europe not the USA.

I listened to them from the USA - they are in Europe.
