Hi,
First of all, Merry Christmas to everyone. Thanks to all of the stations for the Christmas broadcasts (I’ve missed every show this weekend because of traveling and having an insufficient setup, but that’s another story).

I’m a little further ahead of the game this year and I’ve been starting to write entries for the 2012 edition of the Pirate Radio Annual. So, if you’d like to contribute information about anything, photos, or programming in the MP3 format, please e-mail it to me. The sooner I receive anything from stations, the easier it will be for me to write it and make it more accurate.

Thanks for all of your help & have a great Christmas!
Andrew

Equipment / AN/FRR-22, FRR-23, etc.
« on: August 22, 2011, 2125 UTC »
I bought a Hammarlund SP-600-JX26 yesterday at a hamfest. While searching around a little for variations between the different versions, lot numbers, etc., I found some info on other military receivers that are interesting.

Specifically, the SP-600, R-388, R-390, R-390A, & R-392 are hugely popular receivers. But, I never see anything about the AN/FRR-22 & An/FRR-23. These are general-coverage receivers (but no AM or 160m) made by RCA with 29 tubes (!) from the early '50s. They seem to have some interesting features (6 filter positions, dimmer control on the front-panel lights, 2 headphone jacks, separate volume control for headphones, etc.)

I found a pic at: http://www.navy-radio.com/rcvrs/images/frr22-01.JPG

Anyone have one of these receivers or know why they don't seem to be for sale? Were they much more expensive than the R-390As and SP-600s of the day? Did they have a design flaw?

Thanks & have a great day!

I received this e-mail from Artem, a regular pirate DXer & program producer in Russia:

Hi all again,

You can find my program prepared for relay by any pirate or just for listening of all who is interested in. It is dedicated to World Music. Hope, you'll like it.

Yours,

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!

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:

General Radio Discussion / pre-orders for 2010 Pirate Radio Annual
« on: March 17, 2010, 1451 UTC »
The 2010 Pirate Radio Annual is at the printer and being finished. It should be available within 3-4 weeks, but I'm now taking pre-orders. It is:

* 126 pages
* perfect bound with full-color cover
* with audio CD-R

It profiles 166 different shortwave pirates, programs, and relayed stations that were heard in 2009. Other features are profiles of the 10 best-heard European shortwave pirates in North America, plus information for beginners on tuning pirates and shortwave radio.

The CD-R is in the standard CD format & contains audio clips from 75 different stations (nearly all clips were from 2009 broadcasts but a couple were from 2008 and 2010).

Price is $17 ($15 + $2 shipping) in the U.S. Sorry, I'm not sure how much shipping will be to Canada & the rest of the world, so I'm not taking advance orders from these areas until the books come in and I can weigh them.

You can send checks or money orders to:

Cabinet Communications
POB 109
BRS, PA 17214

Or if you're a 21st-century kind of person, you may send $17 via PayPal to info@hobbybroadcasting.com. If you take this route, please also e-mail me so that I'm aware of the transaction.

Thanks!
