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

Hi everyone:

It was another active and enjoyable week on the pirate bands. Signals were not loud, but there was almost always a station to listen to.

The loudest signal of the week was Delta on Saturday, who I could hear at the incredibly early time of 1930, and copy the ID at 1943! There was at least one strong signal each night; Mustang on Wednesday, Marconi on Thiirsday, Black Power on Friday night, and Bogusman was a solid copy on Saturday. It was nice to hear Crazy Wave and Lady Angel for the first time this week.

You may notice that there are no North American logs. The NA scene has pretty much shut down, after recent revelations that WBNY's Commander Bunny has apparently been reporting other pirates to the FCC and Industry Canada. If you don't follow the US pirate scene (or if you have bought Bunny merchandise online), you may like to check:

I am thankful (as always) that I can hear so many of you guys in Europe. Keeps me sane after some of the s**t in the US!
