2012 Pirate Radio Annual ready for pre-orders
« on: April 12, 2012, 1114 UTC »
Just letting you know that the 2012 Pirate Radio Annual is *finally* going to the printer and is available for advance sales. This year’s edition contains an interview with Harri Kujala, a comparison of Channel Z transmitters by Chris Smolinski, an in-depth look at the shortwave activities of The Minority Association (Resurrect Dead) in the early ‘80s, and more bits. Of course, it also contains the beginner’s shortwave listening information and biographical entries on 154 shortwave and (in one case) AM pirates heard in North America in 2011 and also on 20 of the most widely heard (in North America) European pirates. It contains 94 images from 92 different stations.

This year’s edition is 186 pages, but because I reduced the point size slightly, it contains much more information that the previous years’ books.

Of course, the book also contains an audio CD, with 71 minutes of audio from 79 different pirates. Almost all of the audio was either created or broadcast in 2011.

The advance price (until May 10) of the 2012 PRA is $15 + $3 shipping in the US ($4 shipping to Canada, $10 to Europe, Australia, Japan, etc.). After May 10, the price will be $16 + shipping.

The money can be sent via PayPal to: info /at/ hobbybroadcasting.com and checks or money orders can be sent to:

Thanks to all for your patience and assistance!

My pre-order is also on its way to you - coming down the mountain via the USPS mail burro.  I hope it reaches you before it turns into a "post-order"...  Thanks Andy, I'm looking forward to more of your good work!

Thanks for the support. I've heard from the printer that it'll be ready on Monday, so we'll see. I'll try to get it out as soon as possible.

Have a great evening!

Picked up the copies in New England on Monday, shipped some on the way home, more on Tuesday, and have the rest packed up to send today. Some of you should receive your copies today.
Thanks & have a great day!

Received yesterday.....almost done reading 24 hours later...what can I say...you rock....Channel Z power comparison... weird Minority Assn shizz...weird...and a CD!
ooooooo does anyone have the ACE stuff from the Minority Association time?  I know Vince H from FRN was scanning and posting stuff but it seems to not go back that far and uploading fizzled out.  I have ACE hardcopies but only about 1995 forward.
