pirate radio

Hello today on 6.925 USB was two pirates..Radio hell and Artifical radio! They both played music and ran spoof ads ect.Time was 9am cst.Keep a close watch on 6.925 as many pirates in USB LSB AM come and go , good luck Angelo

I've found in the VLF band several stations broadcasting in Spanish. I dont know if they are legal or not. When I make a multi turn loop ant I'll triangulate them and Knock on their door and see what happens. OT.

Are you sure they aren't spurs from something else? Wouldn't make much sense to broadcast where nobody is listening

Well, I dont know. They arent sub or multi freqs. However the sig strength meter reads very low. So the ant is distant or xmitter is QRP. I'll find them! OT

Hi they are pirates.They come in here S-7 to s9 or above.In Maryland i qsled 39 of them from all over the place.Weekends are the best time to listen.Friday thru sundaynight. They dont rum much power 100 to 200 watts some way less a good ant helps good luck, they are in english and will give either emaill address or post office box to qsl to. Sprman

VLF, sprman? I don't have any VLF gear here but I can go down to 100 kcs on a couple of radios.

Hi like my first post said try around 6.925 and 6.955mhz.Never have heard anything onVLF at all.Sprman

Thanks for the tips, guys. I'll see if I can fetch 'em in.

Me neither. Thats why I was was wondering about your reply to 'oldtimer' .

Hi oppss made mistake.VLF there are broadcasters down there but as far as i know NO pirates.. I once did qsl a pirate on 1620 AM years ago. Ihave such a high noise level here below 400KC its hard to hear much of anything .During winter its a bit more quite. Ithink around 180kc are some cw beacons low power part 15 if i remember right.Check google on that.Sprman : )

Hi right now is a pirate on 6.935 mhz it sounds very muffeled.Cant make out if its AM or SSB! Lots of static here its 5:45pm cst. Another pirate on 6.925mhz in AM with music.. Weak and just above my noise level its fading in and out ..Iwill try later maybe static will not be as bad.Sprman

Hi 2 nites ago i got Black Wolf radio on 6.926mhz SSB.They said they were on 6.925mhz ,but they were off freq and had bad audio..Had some noise on them from near by storms here.Sprman

Nows the time to watch for Pirates.Holidays seem to bring them out.Look around 6.925 to 6.955 mhz after dark.NewYears eve a good time too.Sprman : )

Pirate activity has been a bit slow of late .Have heard a few on AMor SSB on 6.925 and 6.955mhz.Cheack during late afternoon to.Sprman : )
