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

13 December 2008: Being at the time of year with the earliest sunset, I decided to go up to the remote site and see if any Pirates could be heard and how early they’d come in. After checking the Bedfordshire UK Web receiver beforehand, I knew Mystery R. and Playback were already on. Conditions wer...

6310.3 R. Condor Int. (pres.) Could only get a carrier at 0905. Just not quite strong enough for audio. Suspected someone was here and confirmed by the Foton blog. (13 Dec.) 6243 UNID. Carrier of fair strength at 0906. Thought this might be one of the UK Pirates, but I never did hear any audio to 10...

6299 Delta R. 1156 “Born to Be Aliveâ€

23 November 2008: Other than LHH 4024.6, there were no other stations on the air to gauge conditions when I awoke . It was worth the effort and cold temperature to listen up at the remote site though as at least 14 stations were heard. I probably would have stayed longer than I did had it been warme...

16 November 2008: I spent about an hour trying to decide whether to go out to listen or not. Mystery R. was peaking about S-7, but the MUF was 5 mhz and the K Index was up to 4. 4024.7 LHH was just a weak carrier. There was no other indicator. In the end, I braved the chill and the wind. I’m glad ...

This time a report exclusively from my own QTH!!!! 26 October 2008: Mystery R. was a little stronger than it has been when I awoke at 0615 UTC. The propagation wasn’t stormy, but the A Index was low and the MUF around the pole was down to 6 mhz. So I was undecided whether to go up to the remote si...

6215.2 R. Cactus 2134 mx at t/in, then jingles, and finally a clear Cactus R. jingle over mx at 2134. Web rx. Checked on own receiver, not expecting to hear anything, but found it was there and with audio!! (13 Sept.) 13 September 2008: Heard R. Cactus on the Bedfordshire Web receiver, and was shock...

6-7 September 2008: Decided to go up to the SGLs for Europirates. I wasn’t expecting much as the K Index was way up at 4, and certainly wasn’t expecting to hear anything prior to 2100. So I was shocked when I discovered a few stations on when I started at 2050. RX: Eton E1 ANT: 315' Beverage (BO...

6243 UNID. Europirate?? Someone here. I could easily hear "The Sounds of Silence" by Simon and Garfunkle from 2303 to 2305 UTC. More Pops. 2348 recognized “Deacon Bluesâ€

Am hearing someone on 6243 at the moment (2303+ UTC). I could easily hear "The Sounds of Silence" by Simon and Garfunkle from 2303 to 2305 UTC. I've got the signal on the Bedfordshire UK web receiver also. Surprisingly, the signal both here in Dunlo and in Bedfordshire are about equal. Any...
