Additional pirate logs
6225, 12/14, 0530+ US-sounding AM or FM relay, bit of mx, complete ad, then off. I guess it was a ship-to-shore guy goofing around? (Yoder,PA)
Euro-pirate
6305, 12/13, 2145 Heard carrier and some pop music. I tuned a bit, trying to center on the carrier and found the next one on 6307. It was an announcement of “This is Radio ----, broadcasting on...” Just as I was getting the computer program up to record it, it went off the air. Man! I think the two stations were QSOing. The second sounded like a Dutch DJ...maybe Boomerang? (Yoder,PA/Cumbre DX)
