Britain Radio's 27th anniversary
BRI 27th year on SW schedule
It was 27 years ago when we made our first test transmission on SW back in June 1980, 27 years later we are still here broadcasting most 2nd/4th Sundays of the month!
We hope to celebrate in a small way on Sunday 10th/24th June, remembering the first 10 years of broadcasting playing the music from that period. We think 1980 to 1990 was the most exciting time for the station we often received over 100 letters for each broadcast, we had a full team of DJs and helpers, how times have changed in 2007!!
But we still have our listeners which is the most important thing, without their support we would of almost certainly closed down by now.
Subject to TX availability we shall be using 6245khz or possibly 6240khz from 10am UK time, if conditions are unfavourable then the programme should also be going out via our webstream which is available at www.geocities.com/britainradio48
Reception reports are especially welcome for this month's broadcasts to britainradio @ hotmail.com
Thanks for your support - listeners past and present.

Offshore pirates reunion
From the Pirate Radio Hall of Fame website:
The Radio Academy is holding a major event in August to celebrate the legacy of sixties offshore radio.
The Pirate Radio Hall of Fame has been helping with the planning. Dozens of offshore radio DJs of the era have been invited and although they probably won't all be able to attend, it could be the biggest gathering of ex-pirates ever.
And you could be there too! Check out the Radio Academy web site for more details and to book your ticket.
There is a discount if you get in quick. (The site will require you to register on-line. You will then be sent an email giving details of how to order tickets.) And if you were a sixties pirate and you haven't heard from us yet, please let us know.

Another free radio wiki
Recently this blog featured the free radio wikipedia (www.srs.pp.se) set up by Jonny of SRS, which unfortunately hasn't really taken off.
This week, while surfing the internet, I discovered Jonny was not the first as there is another pirate radio wikipedia. Its address is http://freeradio.wiki-site.com and it mainly concentrates on landbased pirates on FM and medium wave in England - in particular the Midlands and Northern England. It is a detailed look at stations, broken down by both decade and area.
There are also short sections on UK shortwave pirates from the 80s, Irish pirates and Laser 558.
Another section features radio-related terminology. Certainly well worth a visit.
Now, I wonder if there are any more wikis out there?

Radio RWE, via Ulbroka 9290 kHz, April 29.
Please let me draw your attention to a new initiative called Radio RWE. We rented time off the Ulbroka transmitter and plan to air our first show in English.
Radio RWE will be relayed on shortwave via Ulbroka, Latvia transmitter (100 kW) on Sunday, April 29, 2007 from 1400 until 1500 UT on 9290 kHz. You can also listen to the show on the Internet at the following address: http://www.radiorwe.com
The show will be devoted mainly to shortwave vintage transmissions, jamming and current DX news, as well as some literature subjects. We hope to broadcast on regular basis, no less than once a quarter, with similar kind of programming.
Reception reports for shortwave relay are very welcome! Please send them (including return postage) to the following address: SRS Deutschland, Radio RWE. Postfach 101145, 99801 Eisenach, Germany.
We highly appreciate your mp3 files with recordings of our shortwave relay! Please send them to the following e-mail address: radiorwe @ yahoo.com or radiorwe @ radiorwe.com
We can confirm your e-mail reception reports - with mp3 recording included - with our electronic QSL cards (if you prefer to receive snail mail "traditional" QSL card, please send return postage and your reception report to the address above).
Kind regards, Radio RWE team

LITHUANIA. A test transmission of Laser Radio will be carried at 1130-1430 on Sunday, 22 April via Sitkunai 9710 (100 kW) with the 279 degrees antenna.
Laser Radio is the label for a "new" relay service project by Andrew Yates. Some years ago his productions/relays were carried by the Ulbroka relay service in Latvia under the label "Laser
Radio" and "Euronet Radio".
The refurbished project website is: http://www.laserradio.net

This is a separate set-up from Laser Hot Hits
RADIO MI AMIGO
Meanwhile, tonight from 19-2100UTC, Radio Mi Amigo is being broadcast via the Ulbroka, Latvia transmitter on 9290. I guess this is the same station that has been heard via IRRS and, more recently, via the Lithuania medium wave transmitter on 1386.

Anyone who can receive Channel 4 in the UK, can see a programme on TV tonight at 9pm (BST) called Get Your Act Together With Harvey Goldsmith where the famous music promoter tries to turn around the fortunes of the radio station Big L 1395, which despite having many famous name DJs has very few listeners. I watched the show last week, where he helped 1980s heavy metal band Saxon reach out to new younger metal fans.

Very bad conditions today here. I turned on the radio just before 0800UTC and there was nothing audible on 48 metres at all. After some breakfast I returned to the radio and could hear a few signals but not much. Only by 0930 did conditions improve (slightly). This is what I've managed to hear:
6045: MV Baltic Radio via Juelich heard @ 1230 giving contact details in English and playing rock music. Very strong signal - 55555.
6210: Radio Borderhunter had one of strongest signals this morning. Heard signing on @ 1010 talking about the strange propagation and playing Ike & Tina Turner's "Nutbush City Limits." SINPO 44433.
6220: Mystery Radio playing Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean," @ 0900, but some splash from Transworld Radio on 6230 (very strong). SINPO 33433.
6265: Premier Radio Int with oldies @0905, but utility QRM adding to the problems. SINPO 23432.
6285: Radio Kentucky with schlager @ 0945. Signal fading in and out. SINPO 34333.
6305: Radio Valencia playing schlager @ 0920. SINPO 34333.
6400: Weekend Music Radio with oldies but very weak. SINPO 24332.
