Best Daytime Listening For Pirates?

[Shortwave_America]

According to my clock, it's 1927UTC. I'm looking for the best range, or most well known range of pirate frequencies for daytime listening. I saw one listing here for 15Mhz I think. So, say from 1500UTC until the grey line passes about 2300UTC during the fall/winter seasons. Once it's time to switch to the evening freqs, 6925Khz is a dead giveaway. Thanks for any commonly known freq listings for daytime usage!

I haven't seen many show announcements this year for N. American pirates in the freqs that work better in daytime.  If you check the logs from 2007-2009 you'll find a few from WBNY and others who tried daytime broadcasts above the usual sub-7 MHz zone.

There are some Euro pirates who routinely operate in the upper HF regions.  Check the Alfa Lima site forum for logs.  And Iann in France has a chat where you might find some tips to daytime DXing for Euro pirates.

The tendency I have noticed over the years is the use of low [& very high] end of 15MHz/19M 15070KHz.
Similar propagation to the world, like 20M where it is said "the band is always open to somewhere"...

Most guys use the 6850-6955 range weekends between 12 and 15:00 utc this time of year. I can normally hit much of eastern N.America with just 14 watts and wire antenna in that time frame. It's a nice time to broadcast,conditions are quiet,and you have your pick of the prime frequencies.

The band opens and shuts about an hour earlier during daylight savings time.

Thanks to all of you for the great replies! These sites you linked to were very helpful! What I'm going to try to do is compile as accurate a list as I can of pirate frequencies, stations, contact information and QSL's as I can and throw it up on the Official Shortwave America site. It will make a great resource for SWL's and other interested radio lovers like us.

I'm wanting to do the same for shortwave broadcast stations, etc.
