That's the last batch for a day or two.. scanning and resizing these things takes a lot of time, and I have tons of these! I'll post more after a short break.

In the meantime, are you joining us on the HFU chat server? If you don't hang out there, you should check it out! A huge gang of HFU regulars are always there and it's easy to join!

Click this topic to learn more about getting onto the chat: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,41066.0.html

You'll want to start with the #general channel, as that's where most daily chatter is. But there's lots of other specific channels for certain radio topics. Why don't you join us?

Those are really fun to look though (and to fill in the last names of many of them :-) ).

I was active listening at this time but I don't recall logging WARI or ECPR

Thanks for the scans. I'll look forward to more!

Thanks for taking the time to put these up. I was just unpacking some older radio items and when I saw your post, I checked and found a report from
Alternative Radio, dated 3/1992, signed by Dr. Lobotomy. Brings back some fun listing!

Thanks again.

It'd be great if you could post that! And one of these days I will get back to scanning some more reception reports.

Hi Andre

Was fun to look though some of your PiPa issues, and I did find some of my reports in there. Truly the "golden age" of SW piracy!

Hey All,

A REAL blast from the past ! Lots of memories in this post.

FWIW, I used to use Johnny Arthur's Box 452 Wellsville ,NY  as the drop for my old station WBZA (see my "Confessions" post ). I also built  "BLR" and ran it on 1700 Kc .I had a Hotmail address  for that operation.

I   logged a LOT (A LOT !) of pirates back in the day (vast majority on  HF , some  on  MW  and  a few on FM ). A ham once asked my how I did SO well.  It was  simply location , gear   and   standing     "radio watch " on the known  shortwave frequencies for 6 or 8 hours at a  time (!) , especially Friday and Saturday nights. Otherwise put, perseverance.

Some recollections ( "off the top of my head") of stations copied  : Wee Guy R., Lad / Baby Pirate, R. Beaver, Down East R., Dunloaghaire Local R., EBO ( Ellen Bloomfield Ostracized   ) R. ( "Ellen , send me a picture of yourself and I'll stop "), He Man R., Hit Parade R., WSKY /Whiskey R. (  I met him  at a ham flea),WKND /Weekend Music R. , R. Harmony, et al.

 FWIW, I still have  some old  QSL's and  my programming tapes.

Keep up the good work !
