Wizard's November pirate review

Wizard Radio writes: "Well, it's time for a brand new MW Pirate Review. If you click here http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?shbcnjjwx20rgxj you can download our November edition, containing around 60 recordings of Dutch pirate stations made here in England during the month of October.

The recordings have been made using our Lowe HF225 receiver and outdoor magnetic loop antenna. Most recordings were made during the evening, although some were made during late afternoon, and now the winter is on the way, we will be able to hear stations much earlier, so in our next review we expect to have lots of recordings made from around 1400 UTC.

Many thanks for taking the time to listen to the review, which we hope you enjoy. Please leave your comments here on the AM Forum in Dutch or English - we would love to hear what you have to say about this mp3 download.

The review is produced every month, and the next one will be available to download at the beginning of December.

If you would like to download previous editions, you can do that here:

September http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?p55lmc1uqqe6fum
October http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?uba4jd0dn9z6e2n

Once again, many thanks for your interest. Happy listening!

FRS News #36: special 30th Anniversary edition
The latest edition of FRS News #36 is out for some time now. In this 24 page edition (in colour!). In the past months FRS-Holland has been working very hard to produce this booklet covering 30 Years of FRS Holland. It contains several photos and of course much information:

• Memories on 30 Years of FRS-Holland from both former presenters and listeners;
• a Number of Fact Files (Special moments to Remember, FRS Presenters 1980-2010, The Beginning);
• Reflections on 30 Years of FRS-Holland;
• The 1983 Raid;
• Mailbox 2702 including the Anniversary mail;
• How the 30th Anniversary broadcasts came about;
• Last but not least a potted history 1980- 2010 !!

This is a true collector's item and no doubt it makes an interesting read! We never produced something similar in the past. In case you are interested …you can obtain a hard-copy of our specially produced 30Years of FRS-Holland booklet for 5 euro/ 7 US dollars in cash.
Send your order to FRSH, POBox 2702, 6049 BE Herten, the Netherlands.

In the meantime FRS-Holland has become 31 years....

FRS Holland test broadcast on Sunday

Hello Radio Friends
Some latest info. Next Sunday 16 October at 08:00 UTC/ 10:00 CEST there will be a 60 minute test on 7600 kHz in preparation for the FRSH 23rd October broadcast.
According to our tx operator, it might be the case that 7600 is used by a foreign station during day time on Sundays. Therefore I will try to check 7600 next Sunday.
If any of you are listening in next Sunday and are able to tune in to 7600 between 09-14 UTC, please do so. If you hear any signals from a foreign (Chinese?) station on 7600, please let us know by email. If 7600 happens to be used for one or more hours during day time (before 14 UTC), we will be using 7685.
October 23rd and 30th will see our internet stream between 13:52-20:00 UTC/ 14:52- 21:00 UTC (Oct. 30th > winter time).
Let's hope propagation will improve a bit so that we can enjoy loud and clear signals on 7600 or 7685.

All the best

Peter V

New UK pirate radio forum

Blunders writes: "Hope I'm not treading on peoples toes here, but should you be a UK Pirate Radio Enthusiast, especially FM, I've created a new forum especially for us,

It will include chat on the UK Pirate scene, mainly focussing on FM, and also have a forum for technical advise.

I've only just set this up so we're quite thin when it comes to members, but hopefully that will change.

Check it out here,

Airwaves driven gaga by pirate radio

PIRATE radio DJs who set up an illegal station put a 10-foot aerial on top of a block of flats (in Crawley, West Sussex) without anyone noticing.
It was only discovered when Ofcom received complaints after interference with air traffic control systems at Gatwick Airport.
The pirates managed to get through security gates at Robinson House on the High Street and into roof space with access to the roof.
They even fixed a lock onto the back of the door so they could not be disturbed while at work completing the process.

Three months community service for Israeli radio pirate

The Haifa District Court, sitting as the Criminal Appeals Court, has sentenced a man to three months’ community service for broadcasting on a pirate radio station, the State Attorney’s Office announced today.

Yehuda Sorogon had been originally convicted in the Hadera Magistrates’ Court of making illegal broadcasts on Briza, a Haifa area pirate radio station broadcasting on FM, between 2005 and 2008. However, the State Attorney’s Office had appealed to the higher court against the original sentence of probation imposed on the defendant.

Pirate radio rave tapes: 'You can't Google this stuff'

Happy hardcore, jungle, garage – as 90s pirate radio cranked it out, Mike Finch soaked it up on thousands of cassette tapes. Dan Hancox marvels at a treasure trove that's truly massive:

"It was the sound of London when I was doing my GCSEs," says 31-year-old Mike Finch. "I remember in 1994 and '95 you would walk down Oxford Street and the stalls there would all have jungle playing; that Congo Natty ragga sound. It was there in the air anyway, and all you needed was a little radio to tune in." In many ways, Finch is not unusual – a rave everyman who had his life changed for ever by the music of the pirate radio stations. What makes him different is that the legacy he carries with him is also a tangible one: Finch has what must be Britain's largest archive of 90s pirate radio tapes. It's a combination of thousands of home-recorded C90 cassettes, and hundreds of "tape packs", the semi-official collections of recordings of major jungle, drum'n'bass, happy hardcore, garage and grime raves. It's music that scarcely exists in any industry-recognised recorded form.
