Free Radio Bumbelstock was heard back on the air after a long absence this week. He sent me this great eQSL for a reception report. Many thanks.

Radio Igloo to repeat programme

The Radio Igloo Show no 3 was broadcast on December 10th, but unfortunately the frequency 1638 kHz was occupied and we had to change to 1633. Because of this some listeners missed our show.

Now we have decided to rebroadcast it on Sunday December 23rd at 22.00-22.45 CET (21.00-21.45 UTC). Hopefully 1638 is free otherwise we will choose a free frequency nearby.

The Radio Igloo Team wishes you a good reception and  a Merry Christmas.

Hungarian pirate Chaos Radio raided

Message from Chaos Radio: 

"Thanks everyone, who wrote me reports here! It was a fun one month, but it is over.
"Unfortunatelly, today, while I was testing some, the Hungarian telecommunication authorities showed up, so looks like no more transmissions from Hungary.
"We had problems for like a year now with more and more frequent pirate radio raids on 3 meter band, so I tried to move to shortwave, and hoped the best.
"Sadly, they told me, they are monitoring these frequencies too, and no mercy to unlicensed activities even on sw, so they killed my sw station too, pretty quickly."

Global HF weekend starts tomorrow

The Global HF Weekend is coming up November 2-4, 2018.

The GHFW occurs the 1st weekend in April and the first weekend in November every year. The idea is that it's a set time for listeners and stations to try testing to different parts of the world.

Over the past few years, the high frequencies have not been great for propagation between Europe and North America, but stations have still been able to reach other continents by operating at other times, etc.

Tuning into the Dutch medium wave pirates

As the nights draw in, now is the time to tune to the top end of medium wave to try and hear some
of those Dutch pirates. Many use a fair amount of power and can be heard easily across the UK.

A good source of information is the MW Free Radio blog - which gives an English perspective of the Dutch free radio scene.

This week he has updated his blog after a break of more than three months. Here you can find loggings, recordings and other observations.

The Empire strikes back!

Albert Hall of Empire Radio writes:

"The Empire Radio birthday on short wRave was intended as a "one off" programme only... I am sure that you are absolutely heartbroken about this and are finding this difficult to recover from, but fear not because there is nothing to fear but fear itself....

Apart from the above ridiculous paragraph, there is however a solution to overcome the insurmountable odds and no doubt you will be overjoyed to hear that the ALBERT HALL uncensored programme continues on 259!

But enough of my silly puns and time to abide by the accompanying photo.

Sunday Night:
Radio Mi Amigo. 6pm through to Midnight: John Westlake (Dutch), Albert Hall (8pm) and Tony Stevens (English) till closedown.

Be there or be square, or round, or oblong, or diamond shape, or a hexogone, or hexastill  or whatever you want to be!

But most of all remember to tune in and listen.

http://radiomiamigo.tripod.com

Also soon for proper DX ing some new programmes on "proper" radio.

emails to:
tonystevens259@btinternet.com

Cheers. 
Lol Albert Hall.
