European Pirates and Private Stations / Re: Best frequencies for pirate stations ?

« on: July 02, 2022, 1954 UTC »

Yes, operating in one of the under used broadcast bands could work very well. 120, 90, 60, 22, 19, 16, 15, 13, and 11 meters all have lots of clear frequencies. 120, 90, 16, 13, and 11 meters are almost completely vacant of stations. I think the 49 meter band is a bit too crowded to pirate on. The pirates I have heard in the 49 meter band all suffered severe interference from legal broadcast stations. I don’t think the raided stations were operating on frequencies used by anything else. They both operated in the 43 meter American pirate band. The only legal transmissions I have heard there are MARS stations and the link-11 data on 6945 LSB. The usual 48 meter Europirate band is an HF marine band so it would make sense for a station operating there to get caught for using an emergency channel. In my opinion the 48 meter band is a poor choice for Pirate activity. The last place you want to pirate is on or near safety of life frequencies but many Europirates do. I still have no idea what they could have been interfering with in the 43 meter band though.

I heard this as well, but it is not a shortwave station. It had me confused at first. Check 1350 kHz and you will find the same thing. It seems that the station on 1350 is overloading the receiver causing what you are hearing to appear. It also appears on 4049.42 kHz.

Good idea. Doesn’t seem to have worked recently though. He was probably operating daily long before I noticed him and he wasn’t logged for a long time. I’ll give it a try though. I wonder if he still looks at this forum?
