Shortwave listeners, just listen in on 6.925 MHz USB, and you'll hear pirate broadcasting! Best time to listen is after sundown, especially on weekends and holidays. I've had lots of luck hearing stations even with an inexpensive Kaito KA1103 pocket receiver!

Ron O'Quien and I had physic labs together in Sr Hi School. He was the best evening DJ in our home town back then. Friends and I would drop by the sta once in awhile back then.
Glad to see he had gone so far and places on the air. We last face-to-face visit was summer of '72. Gods speed Ronnie, I'm still in Texas. 070111.

before pirated digital music, there was pirate radio :)

As an American in this modern internet age, I really wish I could have been a part of this. Especially considering the sad state of radio content right now in the U.S., I would LOVE to have some options from ships out in the sea...

It sounds like they use PAMS jingles, which was also used for Musicradio WABC in the 60s.

funny accents

3 years on. Yes. No doubt the best jingles ever created (thanks Pams).
Ron O'Quinn is still broadcasting on BigL in late 2010. Still sounding great.

a lot of people say that big l was the most professional station in the 60's i think radio england was more professional than radio london.

We're good for a couple other things.
And another thing...they had the best jingles of any station ever...they still sound brilliant today 41 years later

those of us who are old enough to remember SRE will know it was THE most exciting of all the offshore stations...trouble was it was at least 20 years ahead of its time, and such a pity when it stopped after only 6 months broadcasting. It sounded like this ALL the time 24 hours a day which was an exception in 1966!!! I can assure you
