Free radio pirates on medium and short wave messageboard of alfa lima

Hi everyone: It has been 3 weeks since I last posted my logs. During the weekend of Jan. 23/24, I still had very bad local noise, and conditions were poor, so I only had a few very weak receptions (not included here). By Jan. 29-31, the noise was gone, but conditions were still poor. There were a lo...

Thanks for the ID Joe, and thanks to both for wishing me luck with the noise problem.

Look like it will be another noisy weekend, but I hope to be back to regular listening next weekend.

Cheers, Terry

Hi everyone: I only have a few logs this week, because I have been suffering from an exteme noise problem. Only Saturday afternoon was quiet enough for good reception, but I was luckly enough to catch Russian pirate station Radio Snowball during this quiet period. I have been getting extreme noise f...

Hi everyone: This past weekend saw mixed conditions. Friday night had decent conditions although, as usual, there were few stations on the air. By the time I got up late on Saturday, 48 m had already completely faded out, but the rest of the day saw reasonable conditions on the higher bands (Mike Ra...

Hi everyone: It was another week of horrible conditions and loud noise. Most receptions were just above the noise or very poor. I can only hope that conditions improve soon (I thought sunspots were supposed to help! :?) Monday, December 28 1715,0 . . 0005-0020 . Grensjager Radio , very weak music an...

Hi everyone: This has been a very dissappointing week. I have been looking forward to my Christmas holidays for months, as an chance to take advantage of the long hours of darkness, and perphaps listen to pirates throughout the day. The last few weekends have proven that all-day reception is possibl...

Hi everybody: I am sorry that it has taken so long to post these logs, but it took a very long time to review all my audio files (37 logs last Sunday alone!). I am equally behind on sending reports to stations, but that is my next task to complete. (I have spent too much time listening, and not enou...

Hi everyone: Sorry about this very late posting of logs for the past two weekends. I have been extremely busy with work these past couple weeks. I have not been able to review my audio files as thoroughly as usual, so there is also not many details in my logs this week. There are many new stations i...

Hi Glowbug: X-Ray is definitely Canadian. I had an email from the op with the location. Let's just say that the French/English IDs are a good hint. He is using 100w and a 17m dipole, and is putting in a good signal here. X-Ray was heard here tonight at s7 relaying Radio Waves international. Nice to ...

Hi everyone: After last Sunday's exceptionally good conditions, I was really looking forward to this weekend. I was, however, concerned when conditions seemed poor for most of Saturday, but Borderhunter put in a fair signal Saturday night, so I was encouraged enough to rise early on Sunday. Unfortun...

Hi everyone: I experienced something new this Sunday ... all day reception on 48m!!! Merlin, Borderhunter and Paardenkracht were all audible when the sun was directly between Newfoundland and Europe, and even later. Signals were not strong, but loud enough to distinguish details. What is really inte...

Hi everyone: Another great weekend. There were so many stations on Sunday morning that it was difficult to try to hear them all, even with two radios. But, that is part of the fun. :) Some Sunday morning stations provided quite good reception, while there were many others whose carriers I could hear...

Hi everyone: This past Sunday was, without a doubt, my best Sunday yet for pirate listening. Not because signals were strong ... in fact many of the stations were just above the noise. What made this Sunday unique was the fact that I could hear stations almost all day, including 48m receptions at 15...

Hi everyone: There were some very interesting conditions this past weekend. Friday started well, with a good reception of Misti Radio in the morning, but conditions in the evening were weaker (and not many stations on the air). On Saturday, the shortwave bands were almost completely dead. Radio Mala...

Hi everyone: It was a very interesting weekend . . . lots of stations, but very frustrating propogation conditions on Sunday. The weekend started well. On Friday morning, I heard Misti Radio for the first time at 0920. This was the lowest power station that I have ever heard in the morning. Conditon...
