eQSLs from USA and Ireland

I was delighted to receive an eQSL from Channel Z Radio in the USA, after hearing him on the SW England SDR during the Global HF Weekend in early November. In his email he said Channel Z has been on the air since 2004 and has been heard in North America, across Europe plus Venezuela, Japan and New Zealand. He was using a Dave Martin (of WNKR) designed Commando transmitter.

Also today I received an eQSL from Radio Nova International, broadcasting from the east coast of Ireland. In his email Tony talked about his long interest in radio, the pirate scene in Ireland and his plan to broadcast on 75m. He also mentioned he was big fan of the original Radio Nova - hence the name.

Thanks for the great QSLs.

Shortwave pirates of the 1980s remembered

Some of you will have seen my Pirate Memories blog featuring audio clips and QSLs from many of
the shortwave pirates from the 1980s.

I have given it a bit of a revamp with a new template and also now embedded the audio clips into each post making it easier to click on and listen to the recordings.

Going through it, what struck me is just how many British and Irish shortwave stations there were in the 1980s, with names like Radio Gemini, Radio Apollo, Weekend Music Radio and West European Free Radio from the UK.

Of the 100 plus station recordings, the majority are from the UK and Ireland, plus clips from stations around Europe, including the Netherlands, Germany and Sweden.

In addition to the shortwave stations, there's also clips of some 1980s medium wave and FM stations from the London area, like Thameside Radio, Radio Floss and a clip of Radio Jackie broadcasting during a raid!

So sit back and enjoy the memories!

Bogusman goes live

Hear the Bogusman live and liberated from the limitations of recording!

From now until some time well into 2018, Bogus will turn back time to the olden days, when he & the Ghoul would entertain, amuse and bemuse from a humble studio 'somewhere in England'.

There's nothing like broadcasting live, or hearing live radio!  Don't miss this rare opportunity!
Make 6450kHz part of your regular Free Radio scan.

Keep checking Bogusman's usual haunts, too!

Hopefully conditions will be better than last Sunday when he was on but I could hear nothing on the South West England SDR.
