General Radio Discussion / Active Shortwave Pirates (North America) April 2024

« on: Today at 02:22 »

This is a list I have compiled based on loggings here on the HFU. It shows all the North American shortwave pirates heard in the month of April 2024. Note that many stations use multiple names so determining the number of actual transmitters in use is impossible. Some stations are also active so infrequently that they may not have been logged this month but may broadcast in the future. Stations are listed alphabetically and show the station name followed by the number of loggings in April 2024.

Most Active Station: 77LJS (15)
Total broadcasts this month: 173
