Rage FM raided

Rage FM, an FM pirate broadcasting from Taunton, Somerset (in the west of England), was taken off the air on Wednesday after a raid by Ofcom.

A statement on their Facebook page said: "Rage Taunton has been killed off as a result of an ofcom raid on our Taunton Transmitter apparatus. We are pleased to confirm nobody from Rage was onsite at the time. We shall NOT be defeated by this fairly minor mishap or any of the killjoy straight edge bores!!!!! Thanks to everyone who've supported this positive project in Taunton area over the past year, thank you very much indeed!

Nord AM this Saturday

Dear listeners and friends,
 We hope that you were enjoying your Easter holidays and that the first signs of spring are already visible at your hometown. Well, we would like to support that by sending you some funky tunes through the magical world of shortwave-radio.

To sum it up: The sixth edition of NordAM will be broadcast next Saturday 14/04/2012
 1400-1500 UTC on 6005 kHz
 2000-2100 UTC on 3995 kHz

 We use Radio 700's transmitters in Kall-Krekel, Germany (with 1000 Watts). Furthermore, we can be heard on Radio 700's online live streaming. Just go to <http://radio700.de/player/player_kw.php?p=1> and select the frequency we are currently broadcasting on. These streams and frequencies normally carry the broadcasts of Radio 700.

 Once again, we will bring you some current (Indie) pop and rock music from all over the world and hope to bring you 60 minutes of entertainment and joy. Furthermore, we have a short listeners' mailbox-program and invite you to send us again your comments and reception reports.

 Detailled and correct reports will be verified with our new QSL card (by regular mail or email).
 Please send all your letters and reports to: nordam @ shortwaveservice.com
 Or visit our Facebook site: http://www.facebook.com/pages/NordAM/231948116860158

 We would like to thank all listeners for writing and sending reports regarding our previous transmission. Some of you may not have received our QSL yet, but your reception reports are not forgotten. We simply run out of QSL cards and have to design & print some new ones. But be sure that everyone who sends in a correct and detailled report will get his or her deserved QSL. ;-)

 Of course we are also glad to hear from you what you think about our choice of music or if you have any advice for us regarding new bands etc.

 We are excited to read where our little "student-radio-project" can be received. Feel free to forward these information to your DXing friends.

 Let's meet in the 49 and 75 metre-band next Saturday!

 All the best,
 Torben & Daniel

 P.S: More details about Radio 700: www.radio700.eu. Our transmission is made

Radiofax shows online

Andy Burnham (ex of Radiofax) writes: “We are approaching the 20th anniversary of the closedown of the shortwave station Radiofax later this year and I have taken on the task of uploading archive programmes from my weekly technical programme Sparks and others, from the early programmes, going right up until the closedown in September 1992.

“I am finding some fascinating stuff in these programmes, the period of the early 1990s when digital technologies were just starting to take off, but before the Internet took hold is often overlooked so I’m hoping to redress the balance a little.

“I’m hoping to restart the uploads over the weekend - I’m working on it now - but I thought I must get in touch in the hope you can add a mention from the Media Network blog before it closes. I will be adding more over the coming weeks and months, much like Jonathan Marks is doing on his Media Network archive blog.”

Andy Sennitt of Media Network adds: The URL is www.radiofax.org and I have added it to the list of links on the right of this page. Radiofax was featured a number of times on Media Network, and of course the team included the late Bob Tomalksi, who was a friend of the programme and sadly passed away in 2001. I often wonder what Bob would have made of all the changes that have taken place in international broadcasting in the first decade of this century.

Radiofax was an unlicensed station that believed in producing quality programming rather than just playing records. Programmes included science, technology and media news.Co-founders Andy Burnham and Trevor Brook fought a valiant campaign to get a licence to broadcast on shortwave. The case even reached the International Court of Human Rights.

Info via Radio Netherlands Media Network

This was one of the final items posted to the Media Network weblog which closed yesterday. I for one will be sorry to see it go. It was a great source for news from the world of shortwave and radio in general.

Pirates on Parade

Paul Hayes has today announced on Facebook's Keith Skues Fan Group:

"Hello all! Keith's birthday seems an appropriate day to announce here a two-part special looking back at the pirate radio era, being broadcast this Easter on BBC Radio Norfolk. Going out across two episodes at 12 midday on Easter Sunday and 1pm on Easter Monday, "Pirates on Parade" features Keith, Andy Archer and Tom Edwards chatting and swapping stories about their watery wireless days, interspersed with some appropriate pirate-era tracks! I've had the honour and pleasure of editing for broadcast David Clayton's interview session with the trio, and I can promise it's a must-listen for any fan of Keith, Andy or Tom in particular or the pirate days in general!

I'm afraid it's only scheduled for Radio Norfolk for now, but it will of course be available online! (And fingers crossed we may even have stopped snap, crackle and popping online by then... I can't promise anything though, out of our hands)."

FRS Holland this Sunday

Dear FRS Friends,

Sunday February 26th 2012
Following our October & December 2011 broadcasts, FRS-Holland will take to the airwaves with its first 2012 activity next - Sunday February 26th.
FRSH will be on 7600//6240 kHz for no less than 6 hours between 07.52- 14.03 UTC/ 08.52- 15.03 CET.  
Pxs will be presented by Jan van Dijk doing the German show, Dave Scott will be playing classic rock . Paul Graham will host another great 60s/70s
FRS Golden Show. Peter Verbruggen will look back to what happened in the past on February 26th (Day Calendar) and plays a mix of mainly 80s/90s/00s
music in FRS Magazine. He will also host a FRS Goes DX show with the latest news from the wonderful world of wireless.
As you will know, The Free Radio Service Holland is more than 'just playing music'. In all shows radio related items are included. This is for the keen free radio
enthusiast vital and most interesting. Find out yourself what we have in store next Sunday.....
Other items include 'the Phrase that Pays' and 'the listener of the month' (December 2011).
Between 14.52- 21.05 UTC/ 15.52- 22.05 CET the complete broadcast will be streamed via internet: < http://nednl.net:8000/frsh.m3u>

Still available: the FRS 30th Anniversary booklet (24 pages crammed with information- 5 euro/ 7 dollars) covering our 1980- 2010 history and the 3 Anniversary broadcasts.
Remember the 3rd and final one of that series took place exactly one year ago.

Last but not least: we would like to appeal on you, the listener, to support FRSH by sending in a correct reception report with some personal comments/ information.
The quality of some reports is very poor which is frustrating and discouraging for a team that works very hard and serious to provide you with 6 hours of Sunday entertainment....
A reception report should (in our eyes) cover a period of 30 minutes and should contain information about your QTH (where do you listen from), receiver, antenna, times of
reception, SINPO codes and last but not least programme information (details about what you heard on air: pop music or jingle  is not ok > Brown Sugar - Rolling Stones or
sonovox jingle FRS-Holland, Just a bit Different  is much better!).  I realize this should sound quite familiar to DX-ers...reality is however - to use our own slogan- 'just a bit different' !
We have quality QSL cards and stickers waiting for you (hard copy) if you write in to our Herten maildrop. Please enclose sufficient return postage: 2 euro/ 3 US dollars.

Remember our [frs.holland@hccnet.nl] address will disappear very soon. The only correct email address left will be [frs@frsholland.nl].

73s, Peter V. (on behalf of the FRS staff)

For the first time we also have some interesting comparisons with recordings of the same stations made both in England and the Netherlands, with a little help from our good friend Radio Zeewolf. This makes for fascinating listening!
