This weekend DXing on late Saturday evening and Sunday midday (09.00utc >).- The highlight was to hear my first Greek SW-pirate, Spider Radio on 6925 kHz which also QSLed very quickly by e-mail. Click >>
- The other impressive moments were on Saturday when Dutch Radio Barones and Blue Star having QSO with 4 Serbian stations around 1700 kHz. Very funny to listen because none of the Serbians did not speak English.

Serious DX-Weekend 10.1 - 13.1.2008
Since many weeks I had serious pirate-DXing on MW and SW!!
1) The highlight was incredibly clean signal of Pirate Music, Italy on 6882 kHz (Friday night) !! Listen the mp3! Three SW-Italians received (6220, 6310 and 6882 kHz)!
2) Also a Greek pirate on 6268 kHz (mp3) on Sunday midday was a surprise. I heard that same station on 1619 kHz on Friday evening (tracked from the given GSM-number) !!
3) MW-Greeks were strong on Friday evening/night around 1670 kHz, but they are impossible to ID (sample mp3, no id here), or even know where the station-ID might be in QSO-talking sessions!
Log Sunday 13.1.2008

Log Thursday 10.1.2008
On Thursday evening (10.1. 2008) I tuned Dutch pirates on MW since long time. I am not so motivated to listen them here at my home in Naantali because of poor antennas (48mb dipole is the best here).
In our DX-camp (burned down, new building is under construction) I had super-signals with 1 km longwires ! You can listen my Dutch pirate-clips tuned 2 years ago, in January 2006 with 1 km longwire-antenna: "45 in 24uur" (158 mp3-clips!!!).

QSL from Radio Barretina, Cataluna
First time I heard a pirate radio from Spain! This is Radio Barretina (www) from Cataluna, North Spain (first Spanish SW-pirate ever?)! This station has been on the air very often around 6310 kHz 48 mb with 100 W.
Signal was surprisingly good on Friday evening 4th Jan. 2008 on 6311.1 kHz. They relayed local FM-station, Radio l'Arboç (106.8 MHz in L'Arboç del Penedés) that evening. Here mp3-recording: "Roxette en Radio l'Arboç".
I sent a report to Radio Barretina and I got a QSL-reply by e-mail very quickly, within a few hours! Very nice and detailed QSL (number 14). Click the QSL >>>
