General Radio Discussion / 2017-18 Pirate Radio Annual now available
« on: March 31, 2019, 2215 UTC »
2017-2018 Pirate Radio Annual is done and I've received the copies back from the printer already! This edition is 308 pages and contains an audio CD-R (playable on standard CD players) with clips from 87 different pirate stations from around the world, nearly all from 2016 and 2017. This edition contains 181 illustrations and entries for approximately 307 stations reported in North America in 2016 and 2017 (280 North American shortwave stations and 27 from Europe and South America).
It also contains some "articles" on the Common and Precious Beacon, Radio Pirana International from South America, and upcoming Global HF Pirate Weekends/propagation for reaching different parts of the world.
This edition will cost $20 ($16.50 + $3.50 shipping) in the U.S. I took the packed book to the post office for the international shipping cost and was shocked to discover that it will cost $24 to ship it anywhere in Europe (so, $38.00 = $16.50 + $21.50 to Europe) I'll eat a couple dollars of the cost because the shipping is so high. It's so expensive that it will soon pay for airfare to Europe just to deliver copies!
This price is good for the next month (up through 5/1/2019). I'm not sure if I'll keep the price the same or raise it at that time.
Please send check or money order to:
Hobby Broadcasting
PO Box 109
Blue Ridge Summit, PA 17214
or send the money via PayPal to info [at symbol] hobbybroadcasting.com. If you trust that I won't run off with the money to Sealand, please use the "Friends and Family" option so that PayPal won't charge a fee.
4/2 update: One final note about ordering via PayPal: Could you please include your shipping address with the PayPal order? The PayPal messages haven't included addresses and when I sign into PayPal and click on the "more information about this transaction," the address still isn't coming up. So, I've been e-mailing people for addresses, which could delay shipping.

4500 was weak here with SSTV, but 6900 was around S9+10-20. I couldn't hear the 2- & 3-MHz signals

Wonder if this is what I heard earlier? I saw WREC was on, checked the radio & it was locked on to this one, from when I was recording the station around 1630 UTC. Signal was good around 2245 before I tuned to WREC

Long string of pro-sounding IDs + e-mail announcement. About a fair/good signal

That's pretty cool; I used to hear a Chinese regional or two in the late afternoons on 43m about 20 years ago

Carrier with a few bits of audio
Later: Checked 6900 on about 5 SDRs around the East & had nothing on any of them.

Manwich ad & sloppy joe-related bits, sounds like some from Family Guy?
Great to hear again, although we didn't make sloppy joes to celebrate, like last year

Latin American Pirate / Brazilian pirate 8000 AM 2000 UTC 16 March 2019
« on: March 16, 2019, 2007 UTC »
Tried one of the Brazilian web receivers (the SB Campo one). Tuned into AC/DC "Back in Black," some technical difficulties & a male announcer is now saying "Hello, hello" etc. Mic feedback with dog barking in the background. Went off, but not sure if it'll come back.

I tuned to the VE6JY SDR about 30 min ago (BTW, thanks to VE6JY). VG signal there the whole time with some '70s rock & what I guess is light Irish folk music. Strong audio. Off at about 1956 UTC

I was tuning around the radio & heard the carrier at a decent level. Guess I should've hung with it longer to see if any audio was present

Driving back from the Winter SWL Fest, I tuned to 1710. Heard Bruce Springsteen "Cover Me" at 0101 UTC with a decent signal, so I thought maybe it was Tater Patch.
