Here's the latest of what pirate radio hobbyist are hearing on shortwave. What are you hearing ? Thanks to Free Radio Weekly. With the weekend here, be sure to check for pirates around 6925 (AM or USB), plus or minus 30 to 40 kHz. The majority of U.S. pirates operate between 2000-0400 UTC. Weekends are always a good time to chase pirates. Nice to see Ann Hoffer being heard again.

From Fred Vobbe: ITALY'S PTT TAKES ILLEGAL BROADCASTER OFF 20 METERS
A pirate broadcaster is no longer bothering ham radio operations on 20 meters. The IARU Region 1 website reports that the illegal daily AM transmissions from Naples on 14.000 MHz have ended. According to DK2OM, the Italian Department of Post and Telecommunications appears to have located the source of the transmission and has shut it down. (IARU)
