Pirate Radio Remains Alive and Well

From the shadows... a well-known pirate radio operator on a Friday night 

Although pirate radio chatter remains mostly grassroots and hobby-based, the FCC’s enforcement efforts are far from idle. In its fifth annual report to Congress for fiscal year 2024, the Commission raised the maximum fine for illegal broadcasts to $2,453,218, with per-violation penalties of $122,661.

Despite these stepped-up crackdowns and rising complaints about unlicensed operations, pirate radio continues to thrive. The Preventing Illegal Radio Abuse Through Enforcement (PIRATE) Act, enacted in 2024, was designed to discourage activity by targeting both operators and property owners. With direction-finding equipment and undercover surveillance, enforcement has become more aggressive, yet the pirates persist.

With Halloween falling on Friday, October 31, expect an uptick in activity over the holiday weekend. Recent monitoring has noted stations on the air between 2200 and 0400 UTC, with activity logged on 6850, 6855, 6879, 6915, 6925, 6935, 6938, 6945, 6950, and 6955 kHz.

VORW Radio International announces new relay

 

Beginning Thursday, on October 30, 2025, and continuing every Thursday, my radio program will now be heard across East Asia thanks to a 300 kW Transmitter in Paochung, Taiwan.

The broadcast is beamed to Japan and the Korean Peninsula, but it should be audible across all of East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Pacific, and perhaps into the Americas as well!

The program is one hour in length and the aim of this radio show is to provide good music and news commentary to listeners worldwide. Oftentimes, listener music requests are taken and played – and all are invited to participate.

The  broadcast schedule for this new airing:

Thursdays 0900 UTC  on 9705 kHz  via Paochung 300 kW to East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Pacific

Reception reports will be verified with an E-QSL. Additional feedback is most welcome at vorwinfo@.gmail.com 

(John Jurasek/VORW Radio International.)

 

A reminder from my X post this morning. This week's edition of Wavescan announced that the Voice of Hope Africa in Zambia has closed its services, with little hope of returning.

Sunday's audio available for GB's Car Boot Bargain Show 2025 plus Jen's Everything Musical Show!

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 20 - 26 October 2025

Solar activity was at moderate levels on 20 Oct with a single M-class flare observed. Region 4248 (N07, L=262, class/area=Eki/380 on 17 Oct) produced an M1.1 flare, the largest of the period, at 20/0527 UTC. Region 4262 (S12, L=132, class/area=Cai/150 on 22 Oct) produced a pair of long duration C-class flares. The first was a C4.7 that peaked at 22/0152 UTC, with the second being a C2.7 flare at 22/0909 UTC. Additionally, there were two far sided CMEs, likely originating from old Region 4246 (N24, L=290, class/area=Ekc/840 on 16 Oct). These events were observed in LASCO coronagraph imagery on 21/2024 UTC. Additionally, Type II (est. 2474 km/s) and Type IV radio sweeps were observed at 21/2011 UTC, likely associated with the far-sided events as well. There was also a weak CME observed in LASCO imagery on 23/1545 UTC, likely associated with a C2.1 flare at 23/1506 UTC from Region 4256 (S15, L=155, class/area=140/Dao on 18

Oct. This CME is expected to arrive at Earth on 27 Oct. Activity was at low levels from 21-26 Oct. 

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit. However, the 10 MeV proton flux levels were slightly elevated on 22-23 Oct following the far-sided CME eruptions. Conditions were at background levels on 20-21 Oct and 24-26 Oct.   The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at

normal to moderate levels from 20-26 Oct. 

Geomagnetic field activity was at mostly quiet to unsettled levels from 20-26 Oct, with the exception of an isolated active period on 25 Oct, likely associated with residual CH HSS influence. 

Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 27 October - 22 November 2025

Solar activity is expected to be at moderate levels on 31 Oct - 15 Nov due to the return of Region 4246. Low levels are expected to prevail on 20 Oct - 30 Oct and 14 Nov - 22 Nov as multiple regions depart the visible disk.   No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit from 27 Oct -

22 Nov. However, depending on the complexity of returning Region 4246, an isolated proton event is possible. 

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected to be at high levels from 31 Oct - 15 Nov due to responses from recurrent CH HSS influences. Moderate levels are expected on 27 - 30 Oct and 16 Nov - 22 Nov. 

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels on 01 Nov - 06 Nov, 10 Nov - 14 Nov, and 16 Nov - 22 Nov. Active conditions are expected on 27 Oct and 31 Oct, 07 Nov - 09 Nov, and 15 Nov, with G1/G2 conditions likely on 28 Oct - 30 Oct due to recurrent positive polarity CH HSS influence, mixed with possible weak influence from the CME that left the Sun on 23 October

New Video: KMOX St. Louis – A Classic Clear Channel Station

Graphics by Gayle Van Horn

A new video featuring KMOX, the legendary clear-channel station broadcasting from St. Louis, Missouri, is now available on the Shortwave Central YouTube channel at:  https://youtu.be/h0RpSLgLePo

.Our channel features a growing collection of Clear Channel station videos — with many more on the way!

Are you new to clear-channel listening? Here’s a quick overview:

A clear-channel station is a North American AM broadcaster granted the highest level of protection from interference, especially from nighttime skywave signals. This special status allows the station’s signal to reach vast distances after dark, making it possible for listeners hundreds or even thousands of miles away to tune in.

The clear-channel classification helps preserve reliable cross-country radio coverage, supported through a network of international treaties and U.S. broadcast laws. Since 1983, under the Regional Agreement for the Medium Frequency Broadcasting Service in Region 2 (the Rio Agreement), these stations have been officially designated Class A. However, you may still hear the earlier terms Class I-A, Class I-B, or Class I-N (for Alaska stations too distant to cause interference).

This remains one of the fascinating aspects of AM broadcasting.

Radio Slovakia International's future uncertain

 

Dear Colleagues:

I am sending you the item below, which will appear in the November 2 edition of our DX program Wavescan regarding the possible disappearance of Radio Slovakia International as soon as December 31st of this year, and an appeal to listeners to send letters of support.  Due to the urgency of the matter, I am sending this to you in advance of the broadcast.

Best regards.

Jeff White/WRMI

From Wavescan, November 2, 2025:

Radio Slovakia International has broadcast programs on shortwave since the founding of the Slovak Republic in 1993.  It ended shortwave broadcasts from its own transmitters in Slovakia in 2011, but it has continued broadcasting on shortwave via WRMI in Florida and Shortwave Service in Germany to this day.

However, Ladislava Hudzovicova of Radio Slovakia International has sent us some alarming news.  She says:  “We are writing to you asking for a great favor. We ask for your support, a testament to the value of our broadcasts and our work. The existence of Radio Slovakia International is threatened. We attach an open letter signed by the entire RSI editorial team. We thank you in advance for your support.”

It appears that Radio Slovakia International could be shut down as soon as December 31st of this year.  That's next month.  In a moment, I'll give you the email addresses where you can send letters of support for Radio Slovakia International.  But first, I'll read you the open letter signed by the RSI employees.  It reads:

“We, the members of Radio Slovakia International, were surprised by the news that, as part of the consolidation and preparation of the Slovak Television and Radio budget for next year, when we will commemorate the centenary of broadcasting in Slovakia, the management intends to substantially limit or even terminate Radio Slovakia International (RSI) broadcasts. 

“The implementation of such a measure would conflict with Article 5, paragraph 1, letters p) and e) of Act No. 157/2024 on Slovak Television and Radio, which defines the broadcasting of programs of public interest abroad and programs aimed at Slovaks living abroad as the main activities of a public broadcaster. With the adoption of this decision, listeners would lose their only source of objective information about the Slovak Republic. With the added fact that we would be the only country in the Visegrad Group (V4) to stop broadcasting abroad in this way, in various languages of the world. 

“Broadcasting abroad began in Czechoslovakia in the autumn of 1936 through Radiojournal, the forerunner of Czechoslovak Radio. The idea of reaching out to the world arose within the context of a difficult geopolitical situation that continues today. After the creation of the independent Slovak Republic, Slovak Radio continued this tradition by establishing an independent broadcasting station, RSI, which produces and distributes programs in English, French, German, Russian, and Spanish, in addition to broadcasts in Slovak for Slovaks living abroad. 

“This year, we conducted a survey among listeners of our broadcasts, to which respondents from more than seventy countries in Europe, Australia, Asia, North America, and South America responded. The survey results confirmed the real interest of listeners, who also contact us regularly by letter, email, and in person. RSI's mission and work—the objective presentation of Slovakia abroad—aligns with the Slovak government's programmatic strategy of pursuing a "four-point policy." The content of broadcasts abroad cannot be replaced by a translation of Rádiožurnál coverage for Slovak listeners, nor by artificial intelligence, because the context and background must be explained to the foreign listener.

“As RSI editors, we systematically select topics, provide qualified translations, produce reports, edit material, and moderate programs. The result of our work is not only professional quality translations but, above all, creatively original texts, interviews, objective news, and reports. We support tourism and develop public diplomacy by maintaining long-term, intensive relations with foreign embassies present in Slovakia and with Slovak embassies abroad. We also cooperate with foreign cultural institutions in Slovakia, with which we successfully implement joint projects. 

“The uniqueness of RSI's broadcasts also lies in the fact that, since the creation of the independent Slovak Republic, it has been the only Slovak media outlet that has continuously covered the lives of Slovaks living abroad. It connects our country with our compatriots around the world and with each other. We highlight the life, culture, social activities, and history of Slovaks abroad. We look for Slovak personalities who have had a significant impact in different parts of the world. We also introduce Slovakia to foreigners who are learning Slovak and, thanks to our broadcasts, have the opportunity to get to know our country. 

“We are aware of the need for the state's economic consolidation and are willing to seek, together with the STVR leadership, opportunities for personnel and financial savings in the activities of the Slovak Radio. A substantial reduction in the Slovak Radio's foreign broadcasting activities would significantly weaken the daily flow of objective and accurate information to a wide foreign audience on the socio-political, economic, and cultural life of Slovakia, which has been guaranteed for more than three decades solely by the Slovak Radio's public broadcasting service. 

“In Bratislava, 13.10.2025

The team of Radio Slovakia International”

So that was the open letter from Radio Slovakia International employees to Slovak Radio management.  And again, RSI is urging its listeners around the world to send letters of support to the management, in an effort to stop plans to dismantle the station, and to encourage management to continue RSI's broadcasts.  They are asking for your letters of support to be sent to three email addresses.  You could send one message to all three addresses.  And here are the email addresses:

The first one is:  gr@stvr.sk

The second address is:  podatelna@stvr.sk

And the third address is:  Martina.Flasikova@stvr.sk

If you missed any of those addresses, just send us a message and we'll reply with the addresses.  Our email here at Wavescan is wavescan@yahoo.com.  And we'll keep you advised of the status of Radio Slovakia International.

The WINB, Red Lion, Pennsylvania Story

 

Classic QSL from WINB

               Thank you to Ray Robinson and Jeff White, for this week's nostaligic look at WINB.

Jeff:  The oldest commercial shortwave station in North America still on the air today is WINB in Red Lion, Pennsylvania, which this month is celebrating 63 years of service.  In its early days, this station was involved in a very famous law suit, which had a tremendous impact on the shortwave scene in the USA for several decades.  With that story, here’s Ray Robinson once again, in Los Angeles.

Ray: Thanks, Jeff.  You know, I’ve been to many of the shortwave stations in North America, but one I’ve never seen is WINB.  Their transmitter site in Red Lion is in farm country in south central Pennsylvania, about 8 miles north of the border with Maryland, and it’s the kind of out-of-the-way place you don’t pass through on the way to anywhere else!

Back in 1950, Rev. John M. Norris Sr. and his son John Harden Norris together founded Red Lion Broadcasting and inaugurated a medium wave station, WGCB on 1440 AM, in a rolling rural area 2.5 miles east of the small town of Red Lion.  The call letters of the AM station, WGCB, stood for “the Word of God, Christ and the Bible.”  In 1960 they added WGCB-FM on 96.1 MHz, and also obtained a Construction Permit for a shortwave station at the same site with the call letters WINB, which originally stood for "World in Need of the Bible."

Continental Model 417B

It took a couple of years to get this new shortwave station built, and it was eventually inaugurated in October 1962.  The original transmitter, an air-cooled 50 kW Continental model 417B, is the same one they still use today.  It was paired with a three-wire rhombic antenna 640 feet long, and 110 feet above the average terrain.  Depending on which end is grounded, it can either be beamed 62 degrees north east Continental Model 417B, towards Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, or 242 degrees south west covering large parts of the southern United States and Mexico, which is the beam they favor today.

The transmitting equipment was installed in an old barn-like building that was previously used on a chicken farm.  Contemporary radio magazines at the time carried reports that the new station was quite quickly heard in Europe, Africa, Australia and New Zealand, as well as, of course, in the United States itself.  Despite the power of 50kW, WINB regularly put a good signal into Europe on 15185kHz.

Being launched in October 1962, it was too late to make the 1963 edition of the World Radio TV Handbook, so its first entry is listed in the 1964 edition, by which time the organization name (and the meaning of the call letters) had become “World Inter-National Broadcasters” – which has always headed their QSL cards.

In the 1960’s and early 1970’s, WINB was one of only two religious shortwave stations which operated from the United States.  The other was KGEI in California, which since 1960 had been owned by FEBC, the Far East Broadcasting Company.  And that station was closed down in July 1994.  A third religious broadcaster joined KGEI and WINB in 1974, when Family Radio bought the WNYW facility in Scituate, Massachusetts and relaunched the station as WYFR.

Red Lion Broadcasters has never produced any of their own programming for WINB, but instead has always operated WINB as a ‘brokered’ station, meaning they sell airtime to third-party program producers.  And in the 1960’s, there was no shortage of religious ministries who wanted to buy airtime to get their messages out.

On November 27, 1964, the WGCB radio stations (including WINB) carried a 15-minute religious broadcast by Rev. Billy James Hargis, who criticized the liberal journalist Fred J. Cook.  Mr. Cook had written a book which cast a poor light on Senator Barry Goldwater – the Republican nominee in that month’s Presidential General Election.  Rev. Hargis also alleged that Mr. Cook was affiliated with Communists.

When Mr. Cook heard about the broadcasts, he demanded free airtime to respond to the personal attacks against him, but Red Lion rejected the request.  He then filed a complaint with the FCC.  The FCC ruled that Mr. Cook was indeed entitled to the free airtime under the ‘Fairness Doctrine’, but Red Lion again refused.  The FCC then ruled that Red Lion was in breach of their licenses.  Red Lion then filed suit against the FCC, arguing their First Amendment rights to free speech, and the monumental case was appealed all the way to the United States Supreme Court.  In 1969, the Court decided the case unanimously in favor of the FCC.  The upshot was that the renewal of Red Lion’s broadcast licenses was conditional on their agreement to abide by the ruling.  The FCC also put a moratorium on granting more private shortwave licenses for over a decade until the Fairness Doctrine was challenged during the Reagan administration.  It was finally repealed by the FCC in 1987.

In 1972, another 50 kW transmitter was procured, a used General Electric unit from medium wave station WGY in Schenectady, New York.  It was originally intended that this additional transmitter would be converted for use on shortwave, although that project was never implemented.  However, also in the early 1970’s, a second rhombic antenna was installed for coverage into Latin America.

In 1979, Red Lion further expanded their stable of stations by adding a television station, WGCB-TV, again at the same site, first signing on the air on April 28, 1979.  It was the first completely new television station to sign on in South Central Pennsylvania in 26 years, and at the time, John Norris Jr. was the only individual in the United States to operate AM, FM, shortwave and television stations all in one location and under one ownership.  WGCB-TV operated as a religious independent station, carrying programming from various televangelists.

In 1995, WINB’s Continental 417B transmitter malfunctioned, and the station was off the air while the unit was rebuilt.  It took nearly two years for the station to become fully functional again, in January 1997.

Later in 1997, the FM station on 96.1 MHz was sold to Pioneer Broadcasting, and the AM station, WGCB on 1440 kHz was also sold in 2006.  John Norris (Jr.) died on September 28, 2008, at the age of 82.  The FCC granted a change in control for WGCB-TV on November 5, 2008, to the estate of John H. Norris, and in 2009 the station began airing classic TV series.  Red Lion eventually sold the TV station too in 2012, so WINB shortwave is now the sole surviving station.

In October 2003, WINB began carrying this program, Wavescan, and in fact used Wavescan for test DRM broadcasts to Europe in 2018 on 15670 kHz.  Hans Johnson is now both their program broker and frequency manager, and their broadcast schedule depends on airtime sales.  At the present time, they broadcast on the out-of-band 31 meter frequency of 9265 kHz, with a full instrumental version of the U.S. national anthem at both the beginning and the ending of their broadcast days.  Their hours of operation are:

• on Mondays – Fridays from 3pm – 12 midnight Eastern / 1900-0400 UTC

• on Saturdays from 11am-11pm Eastern / 1500-0300 UTC, and

• on Sundays 8am – 12 midnight Eastern / 1200-0400 UTC

Sadly, Wavescan is no longer on their schedule, but Dr. Kim Andrew Elliott’s Shortwave Radiogram is, on Thursday and Friday evenings.

Radio station WINB in Red Lion, Pennsylvania is now the oldest commercial shortwave station on the air in the United States, and we congratulate them on celebrating 63 years of service this month.  

Back to you, Jeff.

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 13 - 19 October 2025

Solar activity was at moderate levels with 28 total M-class flares. 25 of these flares were produced by Region 4246 (N24, L=290, class/area=Ekc/840 on 16 Oct), the largest of which was an M4.8/Sf at 15/0415 UTC. Several of the flares from this region were the source of partially Earth-directed CMEs as flanking ejecta impacted the near-Earth environment on 17-18 Oct. Region 4248 (N07, L=261, class/area=Eki/310 on 15 Oct) also produced an M2.0 flare at 14/1247 UTC. These regions were classified as beta-gamma-delta. The remaining regions during this highlight period produced C-class activity but were otherwise unremarkable. 

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels on 13-17 Oct due in response to an extended period of coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS) influences. Normal to moderate levels were reached on 18-19 Oct. 

Geomagnetic field activity reached G2 (Moderate) storm levels and periods of G1 (Minor) storm levels on 18 Oct, and an early period of G1 storm levels on 19 Oct due to influences from what was possibly combined CMEs that left the Sun between 13-15 Oct. G1 storm levels were also observed on 13 Oct due to CH HSS influences. An isolated active period was observed on 15 Oct due to declining CH HSS influence and . Quiet to unsettled levels were observed on 14, 16-17 Oct. 

Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 20 October - 15 November 2025

Solar activity is expected to be at moderate levels on 31 Oct - 15 Nov due to the return of Region 4246. Low levels are expected to prevail on 20 Oct - 30 Oct, and 14-15 Nov. 

No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected to reach high levels on 21-25 Oct, and 29 Oct - 15 Nov due to responses from recurent CH HSS influences . 

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to reach G1-G2 (Minor-Moderate) storm levels on 28-30 Oct and 08-09, and 15 Nov due to recurrent CH HSS influences. Isolated active periods are expeced on 20, 31 Oct, and 07 Nov also due to recurrent CH HSS activity. Quiet to unsettled levels are expeced on the remaining days of the outlook period.
