Halloween hunting
Joe Wood in Tennessee suggests we try listening out on Friday for American pirates:
He says: "The North American pirates usually pick up noticeably on Halloween, 31 Oct.
They usually start around 2000 UTC and keep it up all night. 6925 is still the best freq, but 6950, 6955 are still used on occasion.
If there is anybody on your side of the big water trying for one, it would bea great time to try.
With Halloween being on a Friday this year, the Pirates might be even more prolific."
You can also check the American pirate forum, The Vines, for logs of stations on the air.
