Pirate shortwave broadcasts tend to be on well-known frequencies. This allows listeners to quickly find a pirate station when it comes on the air, as they only have a relatively few number of fixed places to look. Some of the locations on the HF band that are in frequent use as of September 2007 include:
15070 | active in the early 1990's by Europirates and pirates in North America, but recently quiet due to the solar cycle low |
7415 | historically, an extremely active frequency, but now occupied by WBCQ |
6220 | Used by Mystery Radio in Europe |
6850 | usually AM |
6875 | usually AM |
6925 | usually USB, but virtually all modes have been heard |
6930 | SSTV and USB |
6950 | infrequent, but used occasionally |
6955 | infrequent, but used occasionally |
6925 is the most used frequency at this time; however, it's important to note that the list will change. Broadcasters will experiment with new frequencies according to the season, and the appearance of utility, military, and broadcast stations on a favorite spot may also force stations to move to new locations.
A good place to look to get an idea of what frequencies are in current use is the FRN Loggings section, and some stations will also announce a broadcast ahead of time on the FRN PX Announcements section.
