Shortwave Blog Bytes

A few "bytes" of news from the world of shortwave radio. Plenty of frequency adjustments included from the B10 season period.

All times UTC
Hot Tip. This came in right after I posted this edition of SW Blog Bytes, so this is a quick addition. Kim Il Young Without Borders is planning many special transmissions during Saturday, November 27, 2010 on the 48 meter band. Frequencies include 6310, and alternative freqs as 6205, 6210, 6265, 6305 or 9290 kHz. Posted from HCDX by Dick at radiospaceshuttle@hotmail.com Sounds like this is a European pirate and will need various times to check these frequencies.
