Hi Peter,


I heard the "Pirate Hams" on 3885Khz down here too.(Quite strong).
To me,these guys are not real Pirates,just "Lazy Hams" who can't be bothered or are not clever enough to get a licence.
They are not really interested in or have anything in common with Pirates except for the fact that they are interested in radio and are illegal.
