I notice 1700 thru 1800 kHz is another popular hangout for these guys...wish I understood the language.

I didn't know they were still active there? I'd read a couple of articles in the lead-up to the fall of the Warsaw Pact after Glasnost about SW pirates in the old USSR down in roughly the same frequency areas as the guys above mentioned. Those guys used tubes from TV sets to build transmitters.

Some of the designs are still floating around the 'net but I don't know Russian, and Cyrillic might as well cuneiform to me. There were a couple of one tube AM SW designs that I've got to think were a challenge to listen to under optimum conditions? Can anyone say "unintentional fm'ing?"


Putin creates a modern autocratic state ran by former KGB apparatchiks and the pirates are back. Good for them.

Hello. If you have recordings of these pirates, I can translate it. Just leave a link to a recording, and I'll give a translation in English. I know that my English is not perfect, but it is better than nothing
