Pirate radio activity alert, 3/14-3/15 (SWL Fest)!

[Beerus Maximus]

If you are new to pirate radio listening on shortwave, or an old hat just not keeping track, this weekend (Friday through Saturday night) is the annual SWL Fest gathering. In years past, this has resulted in an uptick in shortwave pirate activity, plus there are some stations that only come out during SWL Fest. This is a good time to be listening. 6925 KHz is a good place to start.

As always, you can read and post loggings in our Shortwave Pirate forum, and the IRC chat should also be quite busy too. Using the IRC chat is very easy. Log in to the HFU forums with your username and password, and then up at the top of the page you'll see a link to "Try the #pirateradio IRC chat". Your nickname will automatically be filled out, so you can just click CONNECT and end up in the chat room. It's easy!

Stay tuned, stay classy.

Thanks for the reminder... luckily nothing planned for this weekend, until now.

If you can't be with us live, plan to join us on the radio...a
shortwave radio! We will be broadcasting live the 10 PM ET hour of
Friday's "Shortwave Shinding" on WRMI from their new Okeechobee, FL
facility on 7570 kHz, targeting, um, Canada...either the 315-degree or
the 355-degree antenna (we're still deciding). That's 0200 UTC.

Hopefully they have a call-in number we can prank.
