i'm a novice to the social aspect of this hobby, can you (or someone) give me an idea of how to QSL with a pirate?
--- Quote from: Robot Matrix on February 27, 2025, 0617 UTC ---Can't go wrong with that. I worked Europe with a homemade fan dipole on 10m and 20m with no balun and using wooden insulators back in the day.
Oh... and maybe 15 feet above ground on 200 watts.

It's amazing how far things can go once that ionosphere gets involved. I'm hearing myself in the canary islands, it's crazy.

We used to design QSL cards back in the day, like a unique postcard in exchange for a signal report. Google it and you'll understand. Nowadays it's all done electronically via email and whatnot.
I'm sure there are a few here in the equipment thread that might be willing to help you with sound and whatnot... maybe PM some ppl if you want to remain anonymous. Either way, thanks for the show!
Yeah, I heard Australian hams earlier tonight.

Also, love your username.... I've heard that guy on shortwave since I was at least 17... and I just turned 50 last November. And I'm pretty sure he died a while ago, in the last few years. But WRMI still airs replays of him because I still hear his voice on the air.
Have a good night. You pulled it off for sure.

My usual broadcasts are all shortwave staples. I curated datasets and trained a bunch of AI models of Brother Stair, Reviewbrah, Hal Turner, Alex Jones, Glenn Hauser, Art Bell, Allan Weiner, Timtron, and I host the show *as* brother stair usually... and "we" all sing songs and do little skits. It's a strange concept, but I have fun with it. It's fun when I expect, say, Alex Jones to crush a song only to be upstaged by Hal Turner or such. Complete misuse of technology, but heck, someones gotta do it :P

I'll give it a look. I tried to feed Claude's new AI the schematic of the GX (can't find the service manual for the ii) and sadly the quality was too poor for it to be able to read (it's in rough shape), so I guess I'll try to be more social and maybe someone has a trick. I'm decent with soldering and procuring parts creatively, I just don't know where to start in there, it's quite a nest of components. I'll get a QSL made (been meaning to for almost a year, but was confused if this was *actually* what I was supposed to do, thank you)

Pirates often use eQSLs. That is, they send a verification of reception via an email message to the email address provided by the SWL. Some will add graphics, some just send a plain email message.

Does anyone have a recording of the full show last night? I was really enjoying it but had to go to bed before end. Fantastic music choices, love a genuine underground set. Really loved hearing some King Missile, thanks for the show!
