I am new to shortwave listening but a long time fan of free and offshore radio. I remember listening to Caroline and other stations from the MV Mi Amigo many years ago. When I found out you were keeping the name and spirit of the Mi Amigo alive I had to try and tune in to your broadcast. I heard part of your show on 6085Khz earlier today.
To be honest the reception here in the UK wasn't the best during the time I was listening. I tried a couple of web-based SDR receivers as well in case it was my set-up and local electrical noise causing the problems but they seemed as bad or worse. Noise seemed to be the biggest problem, at times almost drowning out the signal, but there was also some periodic fading.
As a new SW listener I am still experiment with antenna and positioning to improve reception and reduce any local noise. Hopefully my efforts linked with better atmospheric and propagation conditions will allow me to get a better signal next time I tune in.
I have included a reception report with the tracks I heard while listening, hopefully this will allow you to verify the report. If this report can be verified I would appreciate a QSL card.
Keep you the good work flying the Mi Amigo flag and I look forward to tuning in again soon.

Hi
I am new to SW listening and just heard some of your broadcast. Unfortunately the Signal wasn't the best here in the UK at the moment and it was difficult at times to pick out what the DJ was saying. Identifying the tracks was also slightly challenging but I got most of them. Noise and fading seemed to be the biggest issues. I'll keep trying for better reception but for now here's a short reception report.
Time: 1425-1440UTC SINPO: 24232 Frequency 6085Khz Location:Sutton, UK Receiver: XHData D-808 with indoor longwire (c8m) antenna Programme Details: '60's music tracks 1425 - As Tears Go By 1429 - Missed that one ! 1432 - Fixing a Hole - The Beatles 143? - Chains - The Beatles 1437 - Get Ready - The Temptations 1440 - Station Id & Jingles
If this report is verified I'd love a QSL
Thanks

Bonsoir à toute l'équipe de Radio Mi Amigo
Depuis 1977 j'écoute les radio en mer Mi Amigo and Caroline comme beaucoup de Français.
Un petit Programme français serait le bienvenue. comme le fesait Denis sur Mi Amigo en 1977-78
Et Dominique Vautrin sur Radio Caroline en 1979.
Je suis content de réentendre le style des radios en mer.
Bonne continuation et meilleurs vœux pour 2019.
J'ai habité dans le nord de la France et maintenant à Saint Cyprien Dans le sud de France.

I’ve been tuned to Mi Amigo most of the day, I’ve enjoyed listening to my old mate Paul Graham and Ship to Shore with Stuart and now until teatime I’ll be listening to the legend Emperor Rosko.
Hard to believe, when I think back to the Sixties when I first heard Rosko on Caroline South! Thanks for keeping Mi Amigo on the air
All the very best Patrick Travers

Liebe Freunde bei Radio Mi Amigo!
Kurz vor Jahresende möchte ich die Gelegenheit nutzen, Euch allen für Eure super Musiksendungen zu danken, die ich fast regelmäßig über Kurzwelle 6085 KHz empfange.
Ich hoffe, dass Radio Mi Amigo noch sehr lange auf Kurzwelle vertreten ist und ich meine Freizeit auf Eurer Welle verbringen kann.
Radio Mi Amigo erinnert mich immer an die alten "Pionierzeiten", als ich auf Kurzwelle Radio Nordsee International, Radio Veronica u.v.a. hörte.
So,nochmals alles Gute für 2019 und immer zufriedene Hörer,zu denen auch ich zähle,
