Hi Mystery,
Thanks for the info about your station. Interesting all around. Maybe I'll hear you sometime.

I have heard LHH directly, but that was several times about a decade ago. In fact, I think those times were back on 6220. The times that I've LHH recently were via web receiver in the UK.

Thanks & have a great evening!
Andrew

Not necessarily. It might have been a relay. I've heard Liquid Radio relayed on 6900 by the Bowling League Relay Service earlier this year.

Nice sig, peaking at S9 here. Some loud QRN, but still good overall

Thanks for the show!

Yes, FRN is based in Joplin, MO. I think whether or not the FRN server is running pales in comparison to the 89+ people killed there. John Cruzan, who set up the FRN, has never been involved in any of this infighting, and has done an awful lot for pirate radio over the years, lives in Joplin.

These people's lives are a lot more serious than a cheap joke about whose server is down. I know that trying to keep pirates from fighting is like trying to restore peace to the Middle East, but could you give it a break for a day or so?

Distant sounding with echoey guitar music & now vocals. Lots of static here, with t-storms having passed an hour or so ago. Occasional pescadore SSB QRM. Heard a little bit of talk, requested reports to HFU, IDs buried in static crashes, but got help from JonM (thanks!).

Have a recording of the show, if you're interested.

Please QSL...& thanks for the show!

Just received the proof copy tonight. Noticed a couple of relatively minor errors, but nothing that I'll stop printing for. So, I'll be approving it shortly and hopefully I'll get copies soon.

Also, Aurora, I received the pre-order and logged it. Thanks!

Whew! Just wanted to let you know that everything's been sent off to the printer. Thanks for all of the positive comments! The extra 56 pages added more time than last year...or maybe I'm slowing down faster than I had realized in my old age.

Here's the updated info: A couple of “articles” in the front, 161 North American station entries, and 13 European station entries. Same specs as last year (paperback, 5.5” x 8.5” trim, color gloss cover), but 184 pages.

The CD is just like last year (except that all clips are new): Clips from 84 different stations in North America and Europe. Nearly all clips were from 2010. The CD-R is in standard audio format. If you use a tight slot-loading CD drive (such as in a Mac laptop) and don't want a label on your CD, just let me know.

Cost is $16 + $2.50 shipping to the U.S.

You can send checks or money orders to:
Cabinet Communications
POB 109
Blue Ridge Summit, PA 17214

or you can send via PayPal to:
info@hobbybroadcasting.com

I'm expecting to ship the books in about a month. I'm not yet sure about the shipping costs for Europe and Canada. The USPS has gotten difficult with international price breaks, etc. that I want to be sure.

General Radio Discussion / 2011 Pirate Radio Annual update

« on: April 04, 2011, 1302 UTC »

Hi, just wanted to let you know that the 2011 PRA is close to being sent to the printer. I just finished the CD last night and have been checking copies to be sure that everything is burning OK. I’ve got a couple of European station entries to finish, I need to edit and/or rewrite the front matter, add some cross references, change the spine size, and fix all of the folios…then it should be ready to go. My guess is that it will go to the printer this week (hopefully in the next two or three days?).

This year’s edition has a couple of “articles” in the front, 161 North American station entries, and 12 or 13 European station entries. It will have the same specs as last year (paperback, 5.5” x 8.5” trim, color gloss cover), but it should be 180 pages (or possibly two or so more)

I’ll give ordering info when I send it to the printer (I’d rather know that it’s gone, rather than have orders come in and then have unexpected delays, like s computer crash or something). I think cost will be $16 + $2.50 shipping to the U.S., but I’ll verify that later.

Thanks for everyone’s help!

Irish folk music with electronic voices between songs. Hard to copy the ID without listening to the recording on headphones over & over. One ID was something like "the station that always wants your Lucky Charms." Have a recording if the op's interested.

Thanks for the show & please QSL if you do that sort of thing:

Nice clear ID a few min ago & I'm going to get off the internet now so that I can get a better recording of it. If the op is out there, I have a recording & would like a QSL. Thanks!

Shortwave Broadcast / Re: Radio Cairo on 6270kHz @ 0233z

« on: February 16, 2011, 1600 UTC »

Yeah, I remember a station, I think KUSA (the one from about 20 years ago, not today's version) riding VOA's 7415-kHz carrier for about 20 min. Makes for a nice AM (essentially) signal and I'd guess that it's tougher to DF, too.

In the car last night, I could hear some Spanish talk & music. Not enough in to ID, but I guess it was Radio Celestial.
