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

Hi, After the holiday season, very quiet weekdays (including Friday night), then fair activity on Saturday and Sunday (including from Italian archives). Time to protest against mangled IDs, highly distorted, mixed with noisy music, or uttered with a 'mouthfull of marshmallow' as a (poor) English acc...

Hi, Many stations on the air for the New Year, so some transmissions were still lacking on the many long logs found on Internet. (Well, I missed much much more transmissions too, so look for the logs from Dr Tim, Achim, Terry, Irish Paul, UKdxer, Franja, ULX2, Newfoundland DXer, Lowland, Iann, Mares...

Hi, At home till Sunday 21, then Xmas week in bad places and back home on ev' of 28th. I went outdoor a few times with a Sony (and wire), but it was chilly. I include some MW tips from a friend in S. France, where he heard many times Radio Activity (from Italy) on 1395 kHz. * * * * * MON. 15 DEC. 20...

Hi, Same new noise,busted at last on Thursday morning (see previous reports). Look for 3939 (no ID), pops, R. London jingles, but also RTL jingles, with a strange signal level that fades down at night.Look also for 6115, testing with non stop music, but on Sunday that was the end of Christmas music....

Hi, Same new radio noise here, 24h a day. When trying to cancel it, I had to choose what to cancel, that new noise or an older one... Look for : - UNID on 6155,4 testing with Xmas time music - OZNRH on 6263,4 often 'heard' - R. LONDON ?? on 3939,5 approx. and a few others in green below. * * * * * M...

Hi, Bad news here, bad new local noise growing and growing on 48m, worst on 76m, soon I would find it HUGE on LW and MW, 24h a day, and coming from my 'uncooperative' neighbour. That noise stood for more than a fortnight, till a major ISP here sent a strong raid to identify the culprit because sever...

Hi, That was a week with very low activity on weekdays, then a so-so Saturday, then a Sunday with QSO shuffle... * * * * * MON. 17 NOV. 2014 * * * * * 6150,0 0720,1009 EUROPA 24, 0720: fair\PLC, mx, ID. 1009: v.weak\PLC, mx 6280,0 1512-1518 UNID, v.weak\stanag6275; mx, JM.Jarre?, pop, gd aft', ..Rad...

Hi, The low activity on weekdays is now well settled. But Tuesday 11th of November was a holiday in France, look for RWI. Second week without LHH on 4026, that would last for weeks. Most activity on Sat/Sun, including QSO's and many legal relays. Note that relays by IRRS are not quite reliable: on S...

Hi, Quite low activity on week days, then crowded 48mb on Saturday and Sunday, with rather short skips. RWI was successful on 11401, also heard here on 6300 (even while Borderhunter was heard elsewhere), and unsuccessful on 6070 (very low signals via low power Channel 292, except on late evening). W...

Hi, Below in green, my logs not found (or not so well heard) on other logs on Internet. All logs and IDs are mine, the IDs found in other logs are always at the end of the lines between [square brackets] and are quite probably correct (except for very few ones). Not so evident is the other help abou...

Hi, A shorter log that week, due to a travel in C.France, so: -from Thursday ev' to Sunday morning : portable, with Sony + - 2kHz, wire at times. -Sunday ev' : back home, usual + - 0.2 kHz reading (often better) * * * * * MON. 20 OCT. 2014 * * * * * 6305,1 0704-0758 R. MERLIN INT %, v.weak; "My...

Hi, Once again a long report : - long relays of LHH on 6205, but I never heard from who, so I don't know really... - usual lot of short UNID transmissions - a long UNID, on 6305 on Thursday night (see the details) - only a part time log for Saturday, then a long log for Sunday, but there was much mo...

Hi, Once again a long log, with Saturday and Sunday very hard to check because of many QSO's, also frequency jumps. Also lots of UNID transmissions, even strongly unidentified (no ID known in any log found on Internet). Confirmation that RNW (known for months ago) expands its name in Radio New World...

Hi, Many relays for LHH this week: R. Blackbeard (?) and Magic Int'l were competing on the 6 to 7 MHz range. Europa 24 on 6150 was about to switch from tests to 'normal' programmes. Fears from AT raids pushed many Dutch stations towards shorter programmes or QSO's. Many tips are still "UNID&quo...

Hi, The propagation had changed just with autumn beginning. That makes logs from different places much more different. Add the increasing fears about the Dutch AT raids, so the transmissions are shorter, with more QSO rounds than usual, and a lot of unusual frequencies. All that made the weekend cro...
