My website
Many of you will have probably already visited my website at http://www.freewebs.com/ukdxer/ which is an extension of this blog.I've uploaded a selection of QSL cards gathered since 1999. You can also find snail mail, email and web addresses for many of the pirate stations. There are also recordings of free radio stations made since I launched this site in March.
In addition, as I've upgraded it, it is also ad-free!
Any comments welcome, either in the guestbook, via this blog or by email to the usual address.

Serbian pirate broadcast
Harri Kujala from Finland is heading to Serbia in a few weeks and will linking up with a Serbian pirate for a special broadcast:
"We will be on the air on Radio Vihor (from Pancevo, 25 km NE from Belgrade) on Sunday evening.
We will have a one hour broadcast with Serbian pirate-guys and will play Serbian and Finnish music.
The broadcast will be on Sunday May 18 on 1650, 1660 or 1670 kHz with 1 kW. We start at 2200 Central European Time (2000 UTC) and close at 2300 CET (2100UTC).
I hope some frequency will be free. We will take prepaid GSM for callings and SMS to live transmission.
All reports of this special broadcast can be sent to Radio Vihor, P.O.Box 1104, 8001BC Zwolle, Holland (This P.O.Box belongs to Radio Bluebird who has been in QSO with Serbians before). Please enclose one IRC for Special-QSL. There will be no e-mail-box!"

Barretina - the end?
Franja DX reports that the Spanish PTT has now closed down Radio Barretina with a photo of papers and sealed package on his blog.Meanwhile on the Barretina blog, the station operator has announced his new project - free radio from Mauritania!
He has deleted the previous postings and renamed the blog "Radio Far Int - Catalonian shortwave station in Mauritania."
He says he has a friend in the west African country who tells him there is an abandoned boat with functioning shortwave equipment capable of delivering 2kW of power, with the antenna system intact.
He plans to return to the airwaves in January 2009. Read more about it on his blog.
Is this for real or is it another of Barretina's "jokes?"

Barretina to close?
This from Silveri Gomez on Franja DX:Sad news, I just received this communication from the man behind the Radio Barretina International project. The original is in Catalan, as usual.
Seems that some PTT man was visiting his home and saying to closing down because the stations was interfering some French maritime station. A new visit on next Monday 5, may just at 9 AM is foresseen to put a seal strap on the Yaesu FT-757 GX transceiver.
Also,he said that no fine was issued at the moment, because the positive collaboration of the operator. An alternative project must be in the mind of the operator.
Feel free to sent your condolences and solidarity to the well known: radiobarretina@hotmail.com
Long life to RADIO BARRETINA INTERNATIONAL!
This is sad news if Barretina has to close...
