My website

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!

Caroline on shortwave

This from Peter Moore, Caroline station manager, following the station's recent 9290 shortwave broadcast:

The Radio Caroline shortwave transmissions on 9290 with 20kW brought 16 replies from the UK, Italy, Norway, Japan, Greece, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Spain, Sweden and South Africa. I also received a report from Germany for 945 and from the United States for 6925. They were all from QSL seekers not listeners in the true sense, the music and presentation was noted for verification not for enjoyment.

I spent three hours writing replies and forwarded the reports to Raimonds in Latvia. Some people sent recordings on cassette or mini CD disc. I have 10 dollar bills and 8 IRCs. Raimonds gifted us the airtime so we will probably break even and of course the geographical spread of the signal was interesting but aside from state broadcasters shortwave really is just a novelty.

Radio Caroline may have a further dabble to see if listeners would come to a permanent shortwave music channel but mostly this is a project we are trying to complete out of respect for our departed colleague Rob Leighton. It has to be considered of course that only among a small anorak clique did anyone know about this broadcast; the reports were from people who discovered the signal and only had a three hour window to do so.

One could assume a better response if the signal was on full time. Rob Leighton loved shortwave and had built, at the time of his death, an almost complete and very efficient transmitter with a final output of 1 kW.

We had a loose arrangement that Raimonds in Latvia would link it in to the big aerial for 9290 and run a regular Caroline service. In his memory we will do our best to finalise that. Of course it will not be a mighty 100 kW but it will be an affordable project.

North American logs

Here's some interesting logs from Joe Wood in Greenback, TN, USA, made last night:

6925u Radio Caroline. 2316-0015+. 28-29 Mar. English. Presumed relay of this station. It is also my first log of the station. Rock music from Aerosmith, Jefferson Starship, David Bowie, and many others that were less well known. Several IDs as "Radio Caroline," and one at 2333 as "The Legend Lives One-Radio Caroline." The programming changed over to a Blues Show with Mr. Charles at 2400. Both segments were great. All of the TC were in synch with GMT, so this was either a live feed to a relay station, or somebody took a great deal of care to match up a recording to the times, or Radio Caroline is now broadcasting on 6925 from the UK. The signal was a great deal stronger and better than any other Europirates I have heard, so I think it was a relay of some kind, but one never knows….. Fair to Good

6925u Victory Radio. *0135-0153*. 29 Mar. English. First log of this station. OM announcer with several mentions of the University of Texas (the other, UT) basketball team. Music by "The Austin Lounge Lizards." Also, "The Eyes of Texas" at s/on. There was a polka and ments of nightspots in Austin where Bob Wills is still the King. Off with ID and Unreadable QSL ancmts.

Listening to Laser

We have set up a new way of listening to Laser shows on the Internet by using a Flash-based player called uBroadcast.

Surf along to http://www.ubroadcast.com/ to download and install the program. We can be found on the Stations section by clicking through the category/shows folders to "Independent Music Broadcasters/Pop/Pop Variety/Laser Ch 2".

Or else go to http://rustybucketradio.tripod.com/ and click the "Play" symbol under the "Rusty Bucket Radio" title at the top of the screen.

If the "Play" button does not appear, there may be a browser message at the top of the screen instead. This will ask you if you want to install an Active X plug-in which will allow the uBroadcast player to automatically install and start playing a Laser show from the beginning.

If you don't want to hear that show then just click "Play" once more. This will start streaming another show. The audio quality is the best we have ever broadcast on the Internet with some shows in stereo so give it a go !

(info via Laser website)

Well, here's some more ways to catch Laser if the shortwave frequencies aren't coming through.

9290: RMRC via Latvia @ 1625 with German and Dutch music. Strong signal. SINPO 55444. Seems it might not have been RMRC according to Achim's blog, as the wrong programme was aired. Instead it was a Dutch station called Firma Arkade.

Wolfman Jack

BBC Radio 4 has a programme about the legendary US DJ Wolfman Jack on tomorrow (Mar 22) at 1030UTC called "In Search of the Wolf."

There is also a long article about him on the BBC website at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7307738.stm

Shortwave listeners to KBC will be familiar with the Wolfman who can be heard on the station six days a week.

Barretina blog

Radio Barretina has started a blog which can be viewed at http://www.radiobarretina.blogspot.com/ The station says he is on air today on 6311. As I write this at 1200UTC, I can just hear a very weak signal.

Wed Mar 19

3935: Laser Hot Hits with oldies @ 1945. Fair signal. SINPO 34333. I wonder is 4025 is off the air as I've not heard it for a while while 6210 seems to be at the mercy of the strange propagation conditions.

Tues Mar 18

3935: Laser Hot Hits playing Kraftwerk @ 1855. Poor-fair signal. SINPO 24332.

Caroline back on Ross Revenge

Easter 2008 live from Ross Revenge

The entire weekend will be hosted by presenters from our second ship, Mi Amigo who all served on board between 1977 and 1980.

This special birthday broadcast starts at 6am on Good Friday and runs until midnight on Easter Monday. You'll be able to watch some of the action via on-board webcams.

There'll be some additional ways to listen this Easter too.

You'll be able to tune in via our friends at Radio Mi Amigo where a special stream will be dedicated entirely to Caroline. They will also be replacing some their regular programmes with ours. Just go to http://www.radiomiamigo.eu/

Caroline will also be available on 9290khz shortwave from Latvia between 1500-1800 on Easter Sunday afternoon.

Please do not attempt to visit Ross Revenge this Easter. We hope to move the ship to a more accessible location soon and look forward to seeing you then.

Radio Caroline will also be on 945kHz tomorrow (Sun) from 2100UTC until Monday at 0400UTC. I believe that's via a transmitter in Latvia.
