It's October, pirate month is here. One of the best times during the year to listen for pirates is the Month of October, especially around Halloween.

I used to listen to a different kind of Pirates radio back in the 1970s, when Pittsburgh had a good team who actually knew how to play baseball. 😆

7415 on NYE. Radio Caroline story text, purple cover, was incredible.

Sometimes they even send Narrow Bandwidth TV signals with only a few lines and few images per second because some Pirate Radio operators are also technicians and engineers and there's even AM Stereo.

Pirate station Charleston Radio International is to hear on 5140 Khz. 24 hours nonstop.

I was wanting to listen to short wave radio for under $200.

After research, you tube, and reviews I am more lost than when I started. Even if I buy a 300 dollar unit I am doubtful it will work.

I live in a valley so I think I’ll need to make some funky antennae modifications. I guess I’ll need an external jack for an antennae, maybe wire. Not sure what kind of wire. I was thinking about connecting it to some fencing. Any ideas?

(My experience is seldom does anything work unless you know the trade secrets.)

Thanks! I didn't know about those in the 3000-5000 khz range.

Can't you get the same thing on internet radio but without all of the static

The first example you used around 3:50ish sounds an awful lot like the Desert Oracle podcast guy...to me anyways.

Sounds kinda dumb. So what's the point. Are these somehow illegally broadcast or something. If it's using to much power it's not like everyone doesn't already do that.
