I'd like to chime in here.

I live out west and I may not hear some of the broadcasts before evening here, I do hear quite a bit and quite often.

I agree with the statements about timing, for us out west, its late back east and we do miss quite a bit.

There is activity out here, but it no where near what the fine folks back east get to hear.

Just be patient, you can and you will hear stations, just not all of them  :P

Anteater Radio used to broadcast and relay other pirates from pretty much anywhere the truck was. The truck at one time was parked over a weekend in the Flying J in Ontario CA on an off the air pretty much all hours. Washington state was a common destination for the 18 wheel pile of shit Pirate ship of Anteater Radio as well as Vancouver BC.
There are stations out there....   just keep checking.
