If you're going to be a pirate, do it this way-- AM and excellent audio! Making it into Europe by the way, poor but better-than-trace signal on Arvika, Sweden SDR.

Big into SWDX late 70s through early 90s, then forgot about it and when I returned via SDRs it wasn't at all what I remembered, but I'll deal with it. Grumble, grumble. All SDRs acknowledged, nothing is from my own radio.
