QSL-card from KBC

This week I got nice QSL-card via snail-mail from KBC! This seems to be quite big station with very professional weekly 8h weekend-programming via Lithuania-relays on 1386 kHz and 6255 kHz! Next year they will start daily 1h programmes on SW!

Station ID's with Greek help!

I have now help from Greece to identify Greek pirates! I can understand GSM-numbers, but it is very difficult to figure out what are the name of the stations. "Vagelis B-52" and "Kostas" gave me help and have tuned my clips. I have now made corrections to the loggings below. Thanks for them!

The most interesting catch for me was Radio Kalokardos from Halkida, about 60 km North from Athens, Greece. Also Radio Hristos (unknown location) was new for me.
I have sent sms-messages to two these stations but I have nothing back. Unfortunately they do not understand English. Radio Delta, Radio Anatolia (on the air every evening from 20.00 - 02.00 Greek time) and Radio Thesalos I have heard before 1-2 years ago.

See the corrections on loggings below.
Here is a map of Greek pirates (not all) which I have identified!

New blog for pirate DX-ing

This is new blog for my pirate radio observations made in Naantali, SW Finland!
I tune illegal radio signals mainly on 48 mb (6200 - 6400 kHz), 75 mb (3900 - 3950 kHz) and on 186 mb (1600 - 1700 kHz).
I log here my observations regularely, also sometimes with audio-samples.

My other interest in radio listening is FM-band (87.5 - 108.0 MHz) and it is
located in http://hkdx.blogspot.com/.
