Title: Some news from pirates
Post by: Andrew Yoder on February 18, 2013, 1407 UTC
I sent out a bunch of PRA entries yesterday & received an e-mail back from Graham Barclay of KIWI Radio almost immediately (an old KIWI show was relayed last year). He was *really* excited about it and asked me to send word around that he would like to have his programs relayed in North America again. KIWI was an AM/FM/SW pirate from New Zealand that was relayed here in the '80s & '90s. For those of you who weren't listening in the mid-'90s, he later got an SSB transmitter & was regularly audible across Europe and North America, relaying dozens of pirates. KIWI was probably heard by more people than any other SW pirate of the past 25 years. Very cool to see that he's alive & well (and still interested). His e-mail is  kiwiradio /at/ xtra.co.nz

I've also heard from two other stations who sent programs to me on cassette who would be interested in relays. I don't know if they want it publicized that they want relays, so I'm not mentioning their names here. Contact me if you're interested in relaying. I'll copy the cassettes to .MP3.

Finally, Bart Sambo of XEROX, Radio Duplicado, asked me to tell people that the station will be returning to the air again soon. It's been about 15 years since he's been on.
