HF Pirate broadcasting on regular basis?

Hi everybody,
I am planning to arrange Pirate HF-broadcasting on regular basis, for example once a month, like every 1st Sunday (not Saturdays basicly?). Also there could be basic frequency limits for listeners to monitor (although all split-frequencies should be allowed of course).
I might open new blog for that and there could be many updaters and administratives?
What do you think?

Ideas and thoughts:

1) I open new blog for HF pirate broadcasting (and many people could update it later).

2) We arrange and publish that every 1st Sunday of the month is for HF-broadcasting.

3) So that could be named Global Pirate HF-Sundays (no Saturdays included?). Saturday could be included sometimes.

4) There could be basic frequency-limits for stations so that it is easier for listeners to monitor and find the stations.
Those limits could be 15.000 - 15.100 MHz - 21.450 - 21.500 MHz - 12.300 - 12.350 and
what more? There should not be too many frequency slots.

5) Split-frequencies (frq. out of the limits) should be allowed and announced on the blog.

6) The stations shoud basicly broadcast on certain 2-3h time-slots, like in the 1) morning 2) afternoon 3) early evening 4) late evening (for USA-Asia-skip).

6) Facebook could be also useful for announcements but that may reveal that operators.

7) No active blog-updates with lists and times are not needed because of regularity, but it could be also more active if there are active udaters. That would ease my job on this in the first place.

8) There could still be irregular HF-Weekends for bigger happenings with lists and times.

What do you think?

Message from Goiania - Goias - Brazil

"Hello Harri,
I managed to tune the radio in Radio Spaceshuttle 15845kHz, Saturday 9:30 (UTC) here in Brazil, signal 11111. Dance music, voiceovers and ID. Very fading, QRM and noise. But ... I'm happy for this achievement! Congratulations! I'm anxious to hear again the next week Pirate ... health $ peace" Dj Velho - Goiania - Goiás - Brazil

Harri, Thank you for organizing the Global Pirate HF Weekend and keeping listeners informed of station schedules. Overall conditions were only fair and many of the scheduled stations were poor or barely audible here in the eastern U.S. However, I did get very nice reception from Radio Spaceshuttle and Cupid Radio on March 31 and a first-time log of Trans Europe Radio on April 1:
15845 R. Spaceshuttle, 1055-1300+, Mar 31, 34333. mp3-audio (nicely)
21460 Cupid R., 1500, Mar 31, 33333. mp3-audio (nice signal here, too)
15070 Cupid R., 1530, Mar 31, 24222.
15840 R. Spaceshuttle, 1500, Apr 1, 23222.

Thanks again! John Herkimer

Message from Japan:

"Hi! Harri san, Many thanks for the planning of the spring pirate station event!!!

I could identify 2 stations, Radio SpaceShuttle and Baltic SR at 7-9 UTC 31st March in Okayama, JAPAN. Unfortunately, only could catch the carrier of 15020kHz and 15060kHz. Small power and AM mode would make catching difficult, I suppose. However I have enjoyed the pirate festival! Thank you so much. 73s!" Shinzo - Japan
