Next Global Pirate HF-Weekend 31.3 - 1.4.2012

I'd like to remind all pirate stations and listeners around the world that next HF-Weekend will be Saturday 31.3 >> Sunday 1.4.2012 !
LIST OF THE STATIONS WILL BE PUBLISHED HERE on Fri 30.3.2012.

- - - - Pirates - Sign in during the week !!! - - - -

So, again this will be a test-weekend for pirates from all over the world to broadcast on High Frequencies 10 - 28 MHz (mostly on 15-22 MHz) !! Still some time for preparing things.

New pirate Balkan Radio International will start on that weekend with multiband broadcasting!! More info:

Also some pirate stations from North America will join this weekend trying to reach Europe and also Asia/Oceania !!
I just got a message from a listener from Australia who wrote that he will be listening!

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.


SCHEDULE for Saturday 24.3 and Sunday 25.3.2012

1) European MORNING 08.00 - 12.00 UTC from Europe to Asia/Japan/Oceania.

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 hope to have at least 10 stations joining this weekend, also new participants - join now to have some fun with long skips!!

Radio Patuljak, Pancevo, Serbia

Here three new transmitter-photos from Serbia: Radio Patuljak from Pancevo (near Belgrade). This is an old pirate since the 70's. The operator built his first tx in the age of 12 and is still on this road!

He is still a pirate using homemade transceiver (two photos) with 110 Watts of power on 1620 - 1800 kHz. He has also linear amplifier with 2 x QB4/1100 tubes giving 1 -1,2 kW output.

The transceiver has 17 tubes: 3 X EL509 (final), 2 XEL84 (output), 2 X ECL82 (AF amp + driver), 2 X EF89 (if amp), 2 X ECF82 (mod + xtal osc/VFO) , 2 X ECC82 (demod./AGC amp/phase inv.), 1 X OA2, 1 X 7360, 1 X ECH81 (tx mixer), EF85.
Impressive work!
