Holiday and Pirates

[ka3jjz]

As this is the Memorial day holiday, you can expect the pirate scene to be quite active in the next couple of nights. Right around 6925 khz and watch out for one or two religious hucksters that have taken up in that general area. The NASWA spreadsheet will be useful to be able to knock those freqs out of consideration...

best regards..Mike

All kidding aside, is there a site that just has pirates on it? listings and such! THANKS!

The FRN is a great source for pirates, unfortunately the site is down. The server was located in Joplin, MO were the massive tornado hit. The folks that host the site are fine.

That would have been Radio True North, he came on about 0345 or so and left the air around 0630 or a little later.

For those of you not already there, on Starchat there is an IRC channel called #pirateradio. Pretty good for real time reports and heads ups from other listeners.

Thanks Token I was out for the count at the time I dialed it in. I notice True North is on way longer than other pirates. Gutsy I guess.

WPOD, White Punks on Dope Radio, starting up right now, July 4, 2011, at 0338 UTC, on 6925 USB. Very clear here in the Mojave Desert, about 10 over S9 peaks.

(edit) WPOD wrapped it up about 0359 or so, another station started after that (about 0400) on 6924.67 AM, no ID so far but my bet is on Radio True North from the sound.

I have them here about s7-but I centerd them at 6924.6-they seem to be a little off-how about you Token?

Yeah, I have center freq as 6924.67, and also got ID, heard Radio True North ID multiple times. He has been spinning a lot of vinyl.

I have a super weak copy on a pirate now on 6925khz, zeroed at 6924.7usb-anyone id?

 

[ridgescan]

Pirate up now 0523utc 6925khz playing rock as usual-right now Blondie's "Heart Of Glass"

Radio True North is still going. I've heard him twice in the past month playing mostly 80's pop. His transmitter wanders between 6925-6931 kHz. I emailed him a reception report a few weeks ago and he doesn't sound very technical.

I'm wondering if he isn't in the west since the signal is very strong on this coast.
