Some listeners send text message, or E-mail. Also direct phone call is possible.

And also: the good old po box is still alive.

[kingoftroy05]

how do you find out who is litenig to you?

[lossiemouthden]

amazing, would you be interested in any shows, to broadcast, I have my studio setup at home, currently doing RNI weekly, Regards

[ap9417]

Hi John,

Yep, still on air!

Mediumwave mostley between 1620-1660 khz, and shortwave 48 meter somewhere 6200-6400 khz. and only now and then at 19 meter band, 15070 khz.

[johnrc1961]

Hi, are you still on the air ???

And what frequency do you TX on ?

Bye from John

[SmashCOBamberg]

Nice! What's your range?

[ap9417]

@SmashCOBamberg Range in freq. you mean? With different TX this is 1.400-30.000 mhz. I see you have a FM TX. I was never active on this bands, far to crowded on FM overhere. Hundreds of pirates, using 10 KW minimum. 1 of them has even 30 KW, with a mast of 104 meters, 8 dipole ant. is this 120 KW ERP! So, not easy to find a 'clear' freq. Better staying at MW/SW...

[adeel2bad]

looks amazing !

[uksniper1]

hi,what frequency is this broadcast on?,,cheers..wayne.

[bridson10ak]

that tranny is a beast

[sasso48]

the antenna?

[ap9417]

@sasso48 Antenna is a long wire for 180M MW. ¼ wave.

For SW 48M a ¼ wave dipole

Mast is 31 meters of height.

I have a video on you tube from the mast too!

[dividebyN]

Nice tetrode @ 1:06 ! Reminds me of a pair of Mullard QB3-300's I used to have !!!! Cool Vid !!!!

[TheMisphit]

power meter shows 400watts, so 800watts is not the output from the transmitter. It might be 800w ERP but thats still not the power of the rig....

[ap9417]

@TheMisphit 800 watts is MAX. When i made this clip it was only 400. And 800 is only possible for a short qso. When longer, the tubes might be blow off...

[py2cww]

Legal, gostei da Rádio. Uma pena estar tão longe e não poder escutar (Brazil).

73

[incongra]

That is TOTALLY what it is all about. Fair play to you. Cool as f##k.

[eldorado303]

[CapnSONiC]

Whoa, so you have an old Geloso, too...cool stuff ;)

[jonjuliecat]

heard this station many times in the west of england. Dutch Pirates tend to benefit from a more relaxed attitude from the authorities. Having said that raids on shortwave stations are fairly rare nowadays

[arlingtonradio]

check out rare groove radio on youtube

[LynxusUK]

What is the song title playing? also.. lovely setup.. how is it that no police raids of such have accoured with so much output?

[ap9417]

Hi,

The song: 'gimme shelter' (Rolling Stones.)

But the Police/AT is active!

Stations causing interference are raided..

In my neighberhood was a station who interfered the UK coastguard.

1 phonecall from UK to Dutch police and they raided this station within 30 min.!

FM pirates overhere using 10 KW transmitters.

Several were raided, got a fine up to € 37.500!!!

But only have to pay this if they started again from the same location.

So, most of them moved over to another location.

[ap9417]

Pictures of the big FM pirates you will find by google on 'LS KLOMPENBOER'

[LynxusUK]

Awesome, thanks for the information!

[mower10]

In US the cartel of million dollar broadcasters have the FCC kick ass. They even go after puny 10 watt FM stations.

I have tried FM bootleg with about 100 watts and it was fun. But risks are also high if you keep a regular schedule!

[ironbear]

Thanks for posting. Was a US, MW pirate in 1960's, low power Navy TCS 20 W.

All power to the transmitter!

[zeproo]

gewoon te maf.. op welke frequentie zendt je uit, zal eens in Brussel kijken of ik het signaal kan opvagen.

[ap9417]

Hoi zepro,

Op kg zitten we op 15.070 khz (19m) maar dit zal 'overskippen' in Brussel denk ik.

Maar ook op 6200-6400 khz in de 48m band, en dat is daar wél te ontvangen.

Verder nog op 3900-3950 khz, 67m.

En op mg, 1620-1660 khz, 180m.
