Hi all! Just wanted to let you know that I've written a fairly long article about Dutch pirate radio in the period 1931 – 1967. It's based primarily on old newspaper articles (found on kranten.kb.nl) and on a scientific article by the criminologist J. Allersma (an interesting TV interview with Aller...

Yes, that's strange! There seem to be very few DXers in general in Denmark. There seem to be more in Norway – and there are definitely many more in Sweden (true, Sweden has more inhabitants than Denmark, but Norway has fewer...). (The Faroe Islands only have about 50,000 inhabitants, so it’s perhaps...

Thanks for another great programme, David! I'm fascinated by the comparisons between reception at Zeewolf's and your location. It's interesting to hear what the atmosphere does to the signal! I've never lived near a local AM station, and I'm amazed by how well they sound locally. Also interesting to...

Hi Dave! Good to see that others are interested in this band as well. I've been listening to it occasionally for years (but it wasn't until I got in touch with Alex in Ukraine around a year ago that I was able to ID any of the stations). The 3 MHz pirates are heard quite well here in Norway. But for...

Thanks for the programme, David! I enjoyed listening to it! I’m impressed by the reception quality over there at your side. Not much noise. Many crystal clear signals! Orban sounds like an FM station… I particuarly enjoyed Radio Barones. Great music and another good performance by the Baro! :) I loo...

Hi everyone! I’ve been on vacation in Grimstad, South Norway (the exact QTH is 6-7 km from the seaside). Here is what I heard on the bands (all times UTC): FRI 15 JULY Before sunset (2020) 1825 1660 Radio Barones SIO 333 (two hours before sunset!). 1859 'Geluid van stilte', SIO 444! 1923 1630 Radio ...

Thanks for your replies, everyone! Pacman tells me I missed Nova 4 on 1395. Well, I noticed that the signal on 1395 was a bit weaker than usual, but I thought it was still Big L, so I didn't listen! ;st It was nice to hear Sterrekijker for the first time (another great name, by the way!). I'll send ...

Hi everyone! My wife, my daughter and I were visiting my parents this weekend, and although we were primarily there to see family, I found time for some listening ... The signals were slightly weaker and the noise level significantly higher than on Lista (where Arvid and I had a ‘pirate DX-pedition’...

Nice catch!

I wonder if it would be possible to get in touch with the Russian MW pirates via this forum:

Worth a try?

Hi everyone! Thanks for the great entertainment this weekend. I sure had a good time - and I think Arvid did too! I just wanted to add that we have (short) recordings (I don't know how good they are) of the following stations: Vrolijke Mijnwerker Barcelona Noordzee Zeelandia UNID 1646 (Saturday) Joh...

Well, actually it was CEST, so it was already dark...

By the way, Arvid and I plan to go on another "dx pedition" to Lista on the south coast soon to try to hear some more daytime pirates. I'm looking forward to that!

All times CET. WED 11 Aug 2243 1630 Batavier playing rock music (Status Quo, Rolling Stones …). A good programme! (Thanks to Arvid for the tip!) SIO 333 2252 1634 Noordzee with reports for Vriendschap, Brandaris and Rode Rover. SIO 322 2255 1654 Jampie Westerbeek with a music programme. Great statio...

Hi everyone! I'm back at home (in Oslo) after a memorable weekend at Lista (south coast). Arvid heard a lot of interesting new NDBs (non-directional beacons), and we both heard lots of interesting MW pirates! Our antenna was 100 m of wire lying on the ground (connected to the radios via balun, split...
