Weekday HF Pirates

[pjxii]

It's funny that I never tried listening for pirates aside from the weekends. There are several AM stations on tonight with good signals and excellent audio

Sounds cool. I must try and hear some. What frequency are they on?

Usually somewhere between 6850 and 6985 often USB or AM, sometimes they move around mid broadcast to avoid jammers. Some have great music programming, very entertaining and worth the hunt. Good luck.

Oh yes thanks I'm sorry I'm thought he meant "medium wave" pirates slightly above the AM broadcast band. I used to catch the pirate station "Radio Metallica" many years ago on I think was 6955 Khz if I recall correctly. This is when I had a perfect SW/MW/HF monitoring location with about a 100' of wire connected to a DX-440.
