NETHERLANDS, 5955, Sunlite Radio, Westdorpe, received email with letter and eQSL in 3 days. Reception report sent to: qsl@sunlite.nl   Here is the text and a pdf compressed file, 43 KB, with the eQSL: "Hello shortwave-listener,  Thank you very much for your reception report to our brand new radiostation Sunlite.  Please find attached your Sunlite E-QSL letter.  Since the start of the shortwave broadcasts on December 4th at 14.00 hours UTC on 5955 khz, we’ve received hundreds of reception reports. Unfortunately due to a lack of time at this stage I’m not able to answer everyone personally, but in this email I hope to answer most of the questions I got over the past few days from the DX-community.  Sunlite is broadcasting at this stage with 75 watts carrierpower using a borrowed transmitter manufactured in Greece on 5955 khz from our TX-site in the village of Overslag near the Belgian town of Zelzate. Overslag is part of a small area called Westdorpe and that’s why sometimes you’ll read Overslag and another time Westdorpe but it’s all the same. The tower is 100 metres high but the inverted V-antenna has been mounted on a height of 30 meters and consists of a Teflon 1:1 RF choke.  Before Christmas the transmitter will come on air that currently is being specially manufactured for Sunlite by our Dutch transmitter-engineer Johnny Tax. Also for us it appeared to a problem to get transmitter components delivered in time. But all the components are now in our possession and our eventual very own Sunlite-transmitter will be ready for use in a week or 2. The TX-power will then increase to 400 watts carrier.  Sunlite is part of RadioCorp;  a Dutch mediacompany based in Naarden in the Netherlands. Older DX-ers may like to know that the premises of Sunlite is the same as the headquarters as offshore radiostation Radio Northsea International in the early 1970’s, the so called “Hofstede” in Naarden-Bussum, just outside Amsterdam.  Some listeners mentioned that they miss DJ’s. However, Sunlite is primarily aimed at a domestic audience in the Netherlands and can be heard all over the Netherlands on DAB+ and online. Sunlite is a nonstop softpop musicstation without DJ’s but if there would have been DJ’s these DJ’s would present in Dutch. Also, in the event you’d love to hear Dutch DJ’s talking in Dutch, feel free to tune in online to one of our other radiostations 100% NL (www.100p.nl) or SLAM! (www.slam.nl) and we’d be very happy to serve you there.  I hope you’ll continue to enjoy Sunlite on 5955 khz.  73’s Herbert Visser Sunlite Radio"  -- Manuel Méndez Lugo, Spain
