Next HF-Weekend 24-25.3.2012
Thanks for all the stations and listeners participating this global pirate happening on 14-15.1.2012. It was fun again!!
Next HF-Weekend will be 24-25.3.2012! I am sure there will be more stations on the air. Some will have new transmitters and antennas - so it will be very interesting!
I also hope to have more new stations participating this in March, the stations which were now on the air but did not sign in to the list to the blog.
In the future I can list only the frequency of the station, not the name
I suppose many stations are afraid to be raided if they are listed on my blog. So, I had nice suggestion from Rick on this: I give only the frequency (and perhaps the country), not the name of the station (or only in real time) in the future, if needed !!!!
About propagation in the future
I have been informed that F2-layer in ionosphere will give better conditions in spring and autumn (like was in Novermber 2011). So, I expect that in the end of March HF will be open better (forexample Ham-band 28 MHz is NOW almost dead here!!!). So, maximun usable frequency (MUF) is now lower, perhaps moving around 12-22 MHz, and giving very selective receptions to small areas around the world!!
The results of 14-15.1.2012 HF-Weekend
Despite of only a few stations on the air there were nice goals:
- Channel Z was received in Japan as first US-pirate, on 11.428 MHz with 16 Watts !!! Congratulations!!
- Borderhunter (Holland) and Undercover (USA) had transatlatic-QSO on 15.490 MHz. mp3-audio
- Cupid and Borderhunter had nice signals in New Delhi, India by three listeners
- Black Bird reached Japan as the only C-European station
- Baltic Sea and Borderhunter was heard in New Zealand again
- New HF-stations were on the air: Radio Shadow, Fox 48, Alpenroos, WEMP.
However, I expected to have more new listeners from all over the world because there were so many new visitors to the blog. Propagation was not good but the bands were not dead either!

TransAtlatic QSO again: Undercover and Borderhunter
Once again there were QSO between European and US-pirate station on 19 mb.
Undercover Radio (USA) and Radio Borderhunter (Holland) gave signal-reports to each other on Sunday 15th January 2012 on 15.490 MHz. Modulation was LSB although both received each other also in AM-mode very well.
Undercover was not scheduled on HF-Weekend but came on the air after Borderhunter's broadcast in the European afternoon.
Here is audio-clip of this QSO! It is recorded in Newfoundland, Canada (Terry?), where both stations were audible!!

Greetings from Radio Black Brid, Holland
Radio Black Bird from Holland activated on SW after long break and participated HF-Weekend. Here is Black Bird's message:
"Hello Harri, I would like to thank you for the fantastic work what you did for the Global Pirate HF-weekend!!
For me it was so much fun to do, also a big thanks to the listeners who send in photo’s, e-mails, audio files and more. Also that so many people where on Iann’s chatroom was great to see!
The Youtube-clip from Globo from Finland was nice to see and to hear how reception was at his station.
In total I received 13 e-mails with reports till now. They came from Finland, Norway, Sweden, Spain, Russia, Ukraine and till my big surprise found this evening a letter from Japan!!!!
Mr. Munetsugu Matsushita from Osaka, Japan heard me on 15.460 from 08:20 till 08:29 with 22211.
This was a big surprise for me, and of course I am very happy with this one.
Next time I will be on also and have some new ideas for antennas.
Greeting Johan Black Bird.
Ps can you put this maybe on your blog?"

I'd like to remind all pirate stations and listeners around the world that next HF-Weekend will be 14-15.1.2012 !
LIST OF THE STATIONS WILL BE PUBLISHED HERE ON Friday 13.1.2012.
- - - - Pirates - Sign in during the week !!! - - - -

So, I hope also pirate stations from USA and Canada will join this weekend trying to reach Europe and also Asia/Oceania !!
I think that the stations should prefere frequencies between 21.450 - 21.550 MHz and 15.000 - 15.100 MHz, but of course anything goes.
There seems to have been visitors to my blog from all over the world. So, let's hope that we will have new listeners from South America and Asia etc. Big antennas and receivers NOT needed for very long skips.
SCHEDULE for Saturday 14.1 and Sunday 15.1.2012
2) European AFTERNOON 12.00 - 16.00 utc from Europe to North America and vice versa.
3) European NIGHT 22.00 - 24.00 UTC from North America to Asia/Oceania. NEW!
I have several new stations participating this coming weekend, so, it will be very interesting.
The conditions has came down a little bitduring past weeks. You can see radio-amateurs real-time-QSO's on 28 MHz (10 mb) here:
FOR PIRATES: If you want to join already, put me e-mail:

Video-clip from Old Time Radio
Here is a short Youtube-clip of Finnish Old Time Radio's broadcast on the 6th November 2011.
This clip is taken after the moment when 700 Watt linear amplifier broke down giving a bad "exploiting" sound and the station was on the air for some time with reduced 100 Watts. The amp was repaired quickly to be back on air with full power. That moment is on this video. Click the photo.

Next HF-Pirate-Weekend 14-15.1.2012
Next HF-Pirate-Weekend will be Sat-Sun 14-15.1.2012 !! Note the new photo below >
Let's name it name now "Global Pirate HF-Weekend". A test-weekend for pirates from all over the world to broadcast on High Frequencies 10 - 28 MHz (mostly on 15-22 MHz) !!
So, I hope also pirate stations from USA and Canada will join this weekend!!
I think that the stations should prefere 21-22 MHz, which give best skips faraway, but 15 MHz seems to work also (worse below this).
Lets's also hope that all DX-forums around the world will notice this and we will have more listeners around the world, in Asia, Latin America, Middle East and Africa.
Nowdays HF-signals skips easier far away between the continents.
If you want to join already, put me e-mail:
(harriku****dnainternet.net) - **** = @ .
(I will publish station-lists only very close to this weekend).
PHOTO FROM HOLLAND
Here below is a photo of one Dutch pirate station's SW-transmitter. It is 65 Watts AM.
This station will participate in January to HF-Weekend first time on 19 mb. (Station-name revelealed later in January). CLICK for bigger view!!

TransAtlantic pirate-QSO - year 1991
Radio Borderhunter from Holland had transatlantic-QSO on Sunday 6th of November 2011 with Undercover Radio from USA. That happened around 21.460 MHz!! Listen it here
I thought that this was the first pirate-QSO between Europe and USA. However, Kai from Norway wrote me that the first ever pirate-QSO happend on 1st of April 1991 on 15.050 MHz. It was made by Liwe Wire Radio from UK who was in QSO-connection with pirate named Commandante John of the Revolutionary Voice of Plainsville (quite long station-name) from USA.
Later, in June 1991, also British Weekend Music Radio had QSO with He Man Radio from USA on 15 MHz.
Radio Black Arrow from Holland confirmed me that he was in QSO with Channel Z (USA) several years ago, on the 4th October 2009 on 15.067 MHz.
(Also Dutch Cupid Radio is rumoured to had a QSO with US-pirate Wolverine Radio on 6.11.2011, but this is not confirmed).
But so far we know today, let's announce that the first pirate-transatlantic-QSO was held in 1991 as written above.
Thanks for info to Kai and Borderhunter.
REPORT FROM INDIA
Radio Black Arrow had reception report from India, from New Delhi, from A. Gupta. The first pirate-listener in India?

I thought that this was the first pirate-QSO between Europe and USA. However, Kai from Norway wrote me that the first ever pirate-QSO happend on 1st of April 1991 on 15.050 MHz. It was made by Liwe Wire Radio from UK who was in QSO-connection with pirate named Commandante John of the Revolutionary Voice of Plainsville (quite long station-name) from USA.
Later, in June 1991, also British Weekend Music Radio had QSO with He Man Radio from USA on 15 MHz.
Radio Black Arrow from Holland confirmed me that he was in QSO with Channel Z (USA) several years ago, on the 4th October 2009 on 15.067 MHz.
(Also Dutch Cupid Radio is rumoured to had a QSO with US-pirate Wolverine Radio on 6.11.2011, but this is not confirmed).
But so far we know today, let's announce that the first pirate-transatlantic-QSO was held in 1991 as written above.
Thanks for info to Kai and Borderhunter.
REPORT FROM INDIA
Radio Black Arrow had reception report from India, from New Delhi, from A. Gupta. The first pirate-listener in India?

Log from Newfoundland, Canada - 5-6.11.2011
Here more loggings from the past 10-28 MHz Test-Weekend, 5-6.11.2011.
This is very interesting log from Terry Toope from Newfoundland, Canada. He heard a lot of stations, also many not participating to this test (listed) - and also from USA. (He got many hints on Ian's chat).
Unfortunately US stations did not participate this test-weekend as listed ones. It would have been interesting to try them in Europe with detailed schedule (Well, perhaps too risky there?).

Old Time Radio-photos - 5-6-.11.2011
I got again photos from Finnish Old Time Radio. These are from the broadcast-session held on the 5-6.11.2011 - on 19 mb and 48 mb.
Here are the photos of temporary studio and 100 W-transmitter with 700 W amplifier.
Antenna is very special again: 3-element quad, made by Finnish wood products!
It is hanging in the air about 6 m high with wires between the trees.
For the 48 mb the antenna was inverted V-dipole about 20 m high in the trees.
OTR was receiver around the world, forexample in California and Japan and all around Europe.
(Here are the old photos of OTR's similar brodcast in January 2011 with long-wire-antenna).

Comments from Oslo, Norway by Kai S. (not listening this weekend).
He writes:
"I read on the HFU that Cupid had a QSO with Wolverine R. on Sunday! Not bad!
I don't think the QSO between Black Arrow and Channel Z was the first transatlantic QSO, by the way. I believe Live Wire Radio (UK) had several contacts with NA stations on 15 MHz in the early 90s (or was it somebody else?)."
Radio Borderhunter comment this afeterwards:
"Your are right Kai! It was Live Wire from the UK, it was far away in my mind but now I remember it again. I did received that time a qso's between them too.

Summary of the Japan Weekend!
Here a short summary of this HF-test weekend. It was very succesful !!
Despite this was named Japan test-Weekend it was naturally targeted to everybody around the world, too. The name came originally from my Japanese contacts when we made this first time in January 2011.
We originally planned to make this weekend in April but because of disaster in Japan we had to cancel it.
I have had many thanks from all around the world for organizing this weekend, from stations and from listeners. Thank you very much for the positive feedback to everybody!
The fact was that frequencies over 21 MHz was better open than 15 MHz. That was a surprise!
However, there were many receptions in USA and Japan - and even in India and Uzbekistan.
Also nice to have loggings from Ukraine and Russia.
We make this again later! Perhaps around Xmas or New Year. Let's see.
