Global HF Pirate Weekend

--- Quote from: Newfoundland DXer on January 02, 2012, 2335 UTC ---The last global pirate weekend in November was the most active weekend I have have ever seen. Stations that I had had never heard of turned up on the air, and it was just a constant beehive of activity from morning to night.

Terry, will you log em in this forum as you find em that weekend? I would like to see what I can snag from my QTH in Halifax NS.

Hey, another Atlantic Canadian pirate DXer! Location, location, location! ;)
It's not really possible to log as I go with Europirates ... just too busy.
But you are cordially invited to drop by Iann's chat room http://www.easyshopdiscountzone.com/radio/pirate/english/ where most of the Euro pirates hang out. I am there most weekends and quite a few North American DXers hang there too. It is the place to get instant tips on activity. (And I have noticed that actual station schedules did vary from the posted times during the last DX test, so you want to be there on the next test weekend.)
The same applies to any other North American DXer interested in logging Europirates.
Cheers, Terry

For those interested in the global test weekend, my logs for the last one in November are here: http://freeradiocafe.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1764. This will give you an idea of the times and frequency ranges used.
I did notice last time that, in many cases, stations did not follow their published schedules exactly. So it is a good idea to scan around. As well, there was a tremendous amount of activity below 15 MHz (in the usual pirate bands), much more than an average weekend.
I can only hope that props are as good as last time!
Have fun!
Cheers, Terry
