Al, do you know why they stopped doing the annual broadcasts?

Cool. I've been keeping up with what's going on there via Radio Romania and the 'net.
They'll blast up the East Coast with those flamethrowers WRMI uses.

I could have sworn he was shot by Kentucky State Troopers when they finally caught up to him for shooting it out with that deputy.

We might want to look at him as a more religious version of the late "Colonel" Steve Anderson than as a typical hit and run pirate. Anderson, and possibly this fellow, saw their prime mission to defy the authorities and provoke a response.
He doesn't strike me to be violence prone, like Col. Steve who committed suicide by cop a decade ago. He seems to be a religiously obsessed fellow with a lot of time on his hands.

Very good point, Al.
BTW, didn't you and Yahweh go to Ur Tech together? He lived on top of the Ziggurat, in the Gilgamesh Suite.

North American Shortwave Pirate / Re: 3844 LSB unknown 0035 27 Sept 14

You'll hear a few of the AM hamsters playing music in that range.
It used to be fairly common, but it's fallen off in the past couple of decades. It was sort of a "Who's got the loudest hi-fi audio" pissing match at it's height.

« on: September 26, 2014, 0357 UTC »
I'd worry about coverage, same as the guys above.. A lot of car radios, new and old, don't tune that far down the band. The majority of people listen to FM/AM radio while driving.

Huh? / Re: Fusion breakthrough at Sandia Labs?
« on: September 26, 2014, 0349 UTC »
Actually this development looks like it will cut the costs of fusion substantially if it progresses on course.
Isn't Svetlana's brother the short guy who lives in the Kremlin? Vlad something or other?

I heard a bit of it on NPR. It sounds as if it's a matter of few years fusion based power may actually be reality.

Huh? / Re: iPhone hoax: No, you can't recharge it in the microwave, LAPD warns
« on: September 25, 2014, 1231 UTC »
What about IPads?
My wife recently got one of Satan's Tablets. It's tinny audio annoys me to no end. I was going to bury it in the back yard, but it would cause the grubs and worms I depend on for fish bait to migrate elsewhere.
10 minutes in the microwave might do the trick. I'll tell her Leo Laporte recommended the technique on his radio show.
Thanks Al.
BTW, you might want to try the microwave trick on the SDR's your SO keeps dragging home. Tell her it repairs potential loose solder joints.

European Pirates and Private Stations / Re: strange UNID AM TX at 19 August
« on: September 25, 2014, 1206 UTC »
I think Alexandr has figured it out.
I occasionally hear RCI on 7285, but that's a popular frequency on the 40 meter ham band in NA for guys running power in AM mode. With SSB guys jamming the AM'ers in that range, it usually sounds like a cat fight in that part of 40 meters.
When I want to listen to CRI, I go to the 49 meter broadcast band.

Thanks Al and Chris.
I remember when they were using the dipole. It's signal wasn't as steady as the vertical. At least not my way.
I do recall seeing a picture of the vertical back in the 90's. It looked like a school flagpole, about the same height and diameter. I thought, "These are my kind of people."

Well, well, the old pirate propagation beacon for the Eastern third of North America is coming back on to the air. It was always a handy way to check props before firing the tx up.
Was there any info on the antenna they'll be using, Alfonzo? They used an omnidirectional vertical before it collapsed, shutting the station down.

A number of Chinese domestic stations used to broadcast in that part of the spectrum in multiple languages.
That would be my guess.
However, it could have been some pirate on that side of the Atlantic having fun, too.
Beer and smoking "something", can cause a guy to hear all sorts of odd stuff.

Shoot! I can't remember that guys name, Al. He was relayed in Europe by the guy who used to relay Laser Hot Hits for a number of years.
I actually relayed a couple of his shows Stateside in the early 2000's. I've still got the tape around somewhere.
