The Crystal Ship
The Crystal Ship - Summer 2007 Frequency Schedule
The Crystal Ship, a North American shortwave pirate radio station based in the Great Lakes region, releases its summer frequency schedule:
Our primary and preferred frequency remains 6875 kHz. If we are on the air on any other frequency, we will also be on the air on this frequency; and reception and audio quality may be superior on 6875 kHz, if you can receive it.
Secondary frequencies are as follows:
5386 kHz. While using the less powerful Viking II transmitter, this frequency has been relatively useful to reach nearby listeners regionally within the Great Lakes area, for whom 6875 kHz becomes blacked out ('goes long') sometime after local darkness. We will be active on this frequency throughout the summer, as a frequent parallel
to 6875 kHz.
3275 kHz may be used as a parallel frequency this summer, but probably only in such cases when transmissions will run beyond 0300 UTC.
Experimental frequencies:
Tests on 7575 kHz, while free of QRM have proven less effective than 6875 kHz with the antennas in use. 7575 kHz may yet be used as a parallel in the future, if a new resonant antenna is erected for it. We intend to make some test transmissions around 12500 kHz, intended to reach listeners based west of the Rocky Mountains, as well as in Europe. Tests may also be done on 13 and 15 MHz. For specific frequency and program announcement information, potential listeners should ask to subscribe to our Email list, at tcsshortwave @ gmail.com
Days and times of transmission:
As a pirate station, naturally we have no 'official schedule' although we are likely more predictable than most others. Through the summer of 2007, likely hours of operation will extend somewhere from 2200 hours through 0400 UT on any of the aforementioned frequencies as well as on 6875 kHz. Most likely days of operation are Sunday evenings (US local time), as well as random weeknights.
First-time QSL requests may be Emailed to us at tcsshortwave @ yahoo.com and we'll pick up the postage. U.S. listeners desiring additional QSLs from The Crystal Ship should send their reception reports, including three First Class stamps, to: The Crystal Ship, P. O. Box 1, Belfast, N.Y. 14711, USA
All non-U.S. reports should be mailed to the Belfast address, and should include $2 US or I.R.C.s for return postage.

North American pirates
Joe Wood in Greenback, Tennessee, contacted me with details of The Crystal Ship which he heard on an unusual frequency.
5386 The Crystal Ship. 0358-0441. June 6, 07. The Xtal Ship sailing on an odd freq. Lots of music from the 1980s including: "What About Love,""Heat of the Moment," "Midnight Blue" and several others that I couldn’t ID. Station ID at 0431 by YL as "You are listening to the Crystal Ship" followed by unreadable comments. ID by John Poet at 0432-"You’re tuned to the Crystal Ship." Audio clip about the war in Iraq at 0436. Signal audible from 5384-5388 and // 6875. The signal was lost on 6875 at 0425. Static closed in at 0440 on 5386. Some fades throughout the bx. Fair to good signal on 5386 until 0437 then very poor until 0440. Poor signal on 6875 throughout.
He says the pirates over there are also starting to use 6875 and 6855 in addition to the regular 6925 and 6955 channels.
He adds that Weekend Music Radio and Mystery Radio are fairly regularly heard in the USA.
Anyone interested in hearing North American pirates can check out the Free Radio Network forum for the latest news.

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.
