Greetings, Pirate Radio Fans! Long time, no write...
The Crystal Ship has been off the air since Jan. 1st due to a breakdown of 1/2 (one channel) of our PC sound card, complicated by the fact that it is still under a variety of warrantees... Finally I discovered that sound cards are down to $20, might have spent more than that on shipping this darn thing back to HP... so we're on again. There may be a burst of activity from us on 6875/3275 over the next few days.
Response to the TCS CD offer was very positive, so we will be doing those in the near future. Stay tuned for details.
Tonight, we are doing technically a "test transmission" on 3276 kHz with the Johnson Viking 2. Programming will consist of "all-new" awful seventies music which we just aquired. (Well, it isn't all awful, but most of it is, so bad its FUNNY! But I grew up then so it takes me back to the days I was running 100mw AM into an illegal antenna playing Foghat in the trailer in the backyard... covered about half my block... them was the days...)
Transmission commencing at 0230 UTC so we'll be staying on fairly late for you nightowls. If you missed it tonight, well, we'll be having fun with this stuff for awhile I think...
Cheers!
