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

Hi! Arvid Husdal and I were on a short ‘DXpedition’ along the south coast of Norway last Saturday (13 October). We first drove (from Kristiansand, where Arvid lives) to Lista, a beautiful peninsula in the very south of Norway, where we (as always on Lista) were able to pick up many Dutch pirates via...

Nice catches! Impressive signal strengths on the recordings!

I see that ataka (ατάκα) means cue, so Alexandr was right!

73 and good DX!

Or perhaps Asshat? That's a frequently used word among North American pirates these days... Perhaps someone in Europe has picked it up :) http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=asshat I hear this (I reduced the speed a bit - it was too fast): "You're tuned to Radio Asshat International....

The UNID on 6240 was probably Grolschman (UK).

Great list!

Hi Andrew! Your logs are certainly not second rate! They are a very interesting read! I don’t know about the others here, but I would love to see more such logs from North American listeners (or listeners elsewhere for that matter!) Andy in London said (in one of his posts in the ‘Pirate Crap Heap’ ...

Hi! I spent the Easter with my parents, who live in the countryside outside Grimstad on the south coast of Norway. Super weather! And lots of interesting things to listen to on the pirate bands! I’ve only included the stations I listened to for more than a few seconds (otherwise the list would have ...

Another one by Oompie Koerier! Great! I'm listening to it right now on YouTube... I was wondering were I'd heard 'Radio pirate'. It must have been on Orion Radio! (Or perhaps on Atlantic 2000.) Here is one which was played by Bartje on 1630 a few months ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nmlp3L7rfm...

Thanks for restarting this thread, John! And thanks for the link! Lots of interesting songs there. I'll have a listen to them! The Dutch have many pirate songs (the people in the east of the Netherlands seem to have a DIY attitude to both radio and music – which is great!) I mentioned one in my late...

I knew Free Radio Nova was going to be on, so I went to my outdoor listening spot to try to hear him. Unfortunately, he was rather weak to begin with (1843 UTC) – and when I checked again a good half hour later the reception was even worse (even though the signal was stronger) because of the Ghoul o...

I saw on ukdxer's blog that Bogusman was on (for the first time in a long while), so I decided to go to my outdoor listening post and have a listen. (My wife thinks I'm crazy when I do that, but she reckons it's a good thing I have a hobby.) 2046 3078 Dinamit, Poltava QSOing. S2 2046 3078 Barmaley, ...

I agree with everything everybody has said!

I'll no doubt try to hear FRSH next time as well. It's a unique station!

And I'll drop Peter Verbruggen a line and ask him if he's got any Joop ter Zee shows for sale.

THE GHOUL The Ghoul’s latest programme (which was broadcast on 76m a couple of weeks back) was repeated on the stream on Saturday night. (Thanks, Mr. stream operator!) The Ghoul’s thoughts are very interesting (and a bit crazy; Ghoul admits that he’s ‘not quite right’), and the music he plays is ex...

Hi Terry! Thanks for another very interesting post. I hope my references to the chat (in the 'Pirate Crap Heap' section) haven’t discouraged you from using it (I guess it’s primarily Borderhunter’s post you have in mind...). Everyone should practice the hobby as they want – and have fun! I don’t rea...
