General Radio Discussion / Active Shortwave Pirates (North America) February 2023

« on: March 05, 2023, 0646 UTC »

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 February 2023. 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 February 2023.

Most Active Station: Outhouse Radio (16 broadcasts)
