Shortwave Pirate Radio In North America And Around The World, And Other Signals That Go Bump In The Night
We seek to understand and document all radio transmissions, legal and otherwise, as part of the radio listening hobby. We do not encourage any radio operations contrary to regulations.
Always consult with the appropriate authorities if you have questions concerning what is permissible in your locale.
How did I know that was coming?
There's not a bad song on "Frenzy". Mojo and Skid were featured heavily on my stations, basically because I had about everything they ever recorded.
You got any gin? I've got an urge to go on frenzy of my own. I'm gonna hunt down Al and make him take responsibility for that kid. I told him he was playing with fire when he got involved with that doe-eyed Nubian nanny, but would he listen? Nooo!
Skeezix, goats will eat anything, and you know what's legal in Colorado now. Those goats were stoned. They probably thought the 7-11 was still there and were going to steal beer before they headed to Tractor Supply for some munchies. Even that lit, they look like a gruff bunch.

If they did, you know who would have his CalTech pals there playing the Go-Go's 24/7. We'd never be able to contact other intelligent lifeforms once they hear Belinda caterwauling full blast. We'll be lucky if they don't steer a supernova blast our way to make it stop.

FM Free Radio / Re: Any stations in Los Angeles?
« on: July 19, 2017, 0615 UTC »
The thing that limits FM pirates is the lowish power of most of their transmitters and the clear height they can get their antennas to. The FCC takes FM piracy very seriously. Successful FM pirates try to be low key and not to be noticed. If they throw up a tower in their yard/or on their apt. building, buy a high powered transmitter, and start blasting away in the middle of a large city, they're going to have Federal visitors on them quick. FM stations are very easy to DF. You've got to be in or near the area where they operate when they're on to hear most of the ones that last.
As the Dood said, the FM band in most large cities is filled cheek to jowl with stations. Even if you run low power and depend on the "capture effect" to hijack a frequency to cover your neighborhood, you're going to be messing with a station who's listeners nearby are eventually going to report you. Management is going to call the FCC, their bosses pay for them, and there goes your station. Large corporations with money and influence give a damn about pirates stepping on or close to their precious station's frequency in the AM and FM spectrum as do their poorer competitors. There's money in those airwaves and pirates take part of the audience that buy the products of the advertisers that keeps the cash rolling in.
MS-13 is pretty heavily into FM piracy in the cities of El Salvador and Honduras. As L.A. is where they formed, I've got to think their doing it there and wherever else they've got a sizable presence in the States? If you run across one of their stations, I'd strongly advise not trying to locate exactly where it's coming from. Stay safe and just listen. Those young men don't welcome strangers.

Yes it is. I thought Ralph was just another screaming radio preacher until I decided do a Google search on his home base/ministry after hearing rumors about him being in trouble for chasing underage girls. Talk about opening a Pandora's Box! The Prophet has been up to some hinky stuff over the years, and still is, now well into his 80's.
As Baptist preacher cousin once said about young women after losing yet another church over his skirt chasing, "I tell ya, they're an occupational hazard!"

I don't suffer from the gut and intestinal problems you fella's at Shady Acres do, Al. The only thing that ever got me was some bad catfish on a stick I got at the World Anvil Shooting Championships on Col. Sartoris place in Mississippi a few years back. The authorities are still on that miscreant vendor's trail.
Did they figure out who was swiping dentures in the middle of the night at Shady Acres? I understand there is a lot of suspicion about a certain resident who practically lives in the computer room from late afternoon until dawn.

He's always been a buffoon.
I ran across a site about a year ago on dangerous cults. They had Brother Stair's ministry in their top 5, saying the motel/commune in Walterboro could become "The next Jonestown".

Was G&R or Motley Crue the bunch who canned a band member in the late 80's for doing too many drugs? It was one of those name hair metal bands of the period where everyone was addicted to something. I just remember thinking, "Are you F' ing kidding me? Everyone in that band does too many drugs."
The only thing that could ever possibly come close to topping that one would be for Keith Richards to condemn Iggy Pop for being an ex-junkie. Even the Keefster isn't that brain dead......yet.

A lot of people who do English dubbing in Asian TV shows and movies are Aussie and Kiwi voice actors. That long flat "A" in bath is one of the sounds that give the Aussies away.
One of the funnier things I ever witnessed was an Aussie trying to order tacos at a Taco Bell one early morning in the early 80's. He asked for "tackos", the kids working there were going "What?" He finally started yelling "Tackos, dammit, tackos! This is a Tacko Bell, isn't it?" Everyone in the place lost it when he pitched that fit.

I doubt it MDK. As someone who used to relay programs, if you sent your program to me and I liked it, I ran it. A lot of the programming you hear on the pirate bands is relayed material from studio pirates or done as a favor for another op who is feeling some heat.
As the great Bram Stoker is purported to have said, "Pirate radio is four guys with transmitters relaying everyone else." He wasn't far off the mark then or now.

It was 2005 here when it got bad. Our local phone company was sold. Verizon hadn't kept the right of ways up worth a damn and the new carrier didn't have the resources. It's gotten steadily worse as branches decorate phone, power and cable lines everywhere. Throw in all the new RF spewing devices and the region is now known as "The Static Valley" by local hams and tech guys.
When I moved in here, the two big sources of outside RF noise were when the pumps on water intake down the road kicked on and the guy across the street's garage opener.
