VERY Interesting...

I know this is a bit of an odd question and please feel free to delete this if it violates any rules, but I’m an independent journalist looking to do a story on pirate/shortwave radio and would love to do something in person.

If you are based in Kansas City and are willing to meet up to be interviewed for an audio story about radio piracy where you DO NOT have to be named and DO NOT have to reveal anything incriminating about yourself, please feel free to DM me! I’m also totally willing to answer questions to prove legitimacy lol. Thanks in advance!

Hello community members. I have decided to start a new Pirate radio community here, on Reddit. After being the top poster in this pirate radio group for the past two months, I made the decision to leave this community.

I don't want to start out on a negative vibe, but the Mods in this pirate radio sub have not posted in their own community for years. The newest Mod posted 4 years ago. The older Mod has not posted anything for 8 years - and is a Mod in 13 communities! I have trouble properly moderating 1 community. And there are no comments from the Mods either. I attempted to contact them with some suggestions on how to improve the community - CRICKETS. No response. It's painfully obvious that they don't care. So I believe it's time for a new community for Pirate Radio.

In starting a new Pirate Radio community I hope to create a place where we can share equipment, best operating practices, and how to listen to Pirate Radio Stations. My goal is to make Reddit a safer place to share. It has become possible with r/ShortwavePlus, my first community. I ask your help to make it a reality for the new community.

I'm looking for a couple Moderators that would have the time to check in and keep up on the new community. I will probably use a small amount of AI assistance for eQSL Cards and Promos for Pirate Radio Stations. Although my plan is to use less AI generated images in the new Pirate Radio community. I can, and do draw freehand - but it takes time. Pirate Radio posts should be about the subject first, and the graphics second. I am hoping to find Moderators like we have for r/ShortwavePlus. They have made the community what it is!

The new community is r/PirateRadioPlus. I hope to see you there.

Hi everyone

I am currently conducting some personel research on the history of Turkish radio broadcasting,specificially focusing on the station branding and "station ımaging" of the 2000s and early 2010s.

I am trying to track down a spesific "commercial/ad break" jingle (bumper) from Radyo ATV (Turkey) spesficially from the 2009-2011 period.

Heres are some details about the sound:

\-It was a very rhytmic, synth-based audio mnemonic.

\-It served as a transition into advertisement breaks

\-The rhytm was wery distnict,it felt like a signature audio logo for the station's corporate idenity ad time.(To the best of my memory, it followed a rhytmic pattern like: dın dın dın dın dırıdın dın dın).

I am looking for airchecks(scoped and unscoped) that might contain this specific station imaging. I know that Turkish Radio archives from that era are quite fragmented and hard to come by,but I was wondering if

anyone this community might have old recordings from Turkish radio stations or knows of any online archives where such material might be hosted.

Any leads,pointers, or directions to where I might find recordings of this era would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help!

Hello, found these pics online but it only goes 100km would like to build something that goes 500km somewhere. I sadly dont have to much electrician skills exceot at soldering and console repairing.

So I recently acquired this model and set up the antenna, connected it to the trans, and then the power supply. I hit the on button but nothing happens. I thought it may be the Power Supply so I went out and bought another one that clearly shows it is functioning but the trans still doesn’t turn on. Any idea what this could be? Perhaps a loose part or a blown internal fuse? It is a brand new trans…

I'm looking to set up a very low wattage FM broadcast in San Francisco for a performance art piece. I don't have any experience with this sort of thing though I'm pretty technically minded. Wondering if there's anyone locally that could advise me and/or loan (or rent me) relevant equipment (mic, mixer, transmitter, antenna, etc). Any advice, even from folks out of town, would be welcome. So far I've gotten suggestions from Claude AI; as you probably know, that can be good in theory but not always helpful in the real world....

Thanks in advance!

Last night (Friday) was a total bust due to a K-Index of over 6 and a Radio Blackout. DJ and Station Manager Joh Black will try to bring us a show tonight (Saturday).

Hello Guys! I wanted to ask how you people specifically got into this entire Pirate Radio niche, or if you guys just are observing. Ill start. I got into it with 16, after finding out it took actual Licenses to host such radios and there are regulations to follow. I once set up just some.. AM Radio Broadcaster, I was not smart back then, got caught by the regulations, but since then ive been just curious in this hobby. I dont have the guts to get back into it, mainly cause they fined me hard.. but.. anyone wanna tell their story?
