Unlocking The Secrets Of
Pirate Madness!
Here we go with what some of you have been hearing on the pirate frequencies lately. Have you sent in your pirate findings?
Voice of the Tiki, 6925 USB opening at 0155 with “Mudda Maxwell” playing what must be original Hawaiian guitar and vocal. I think this was relayed over KIPM. (Rick Barton, AZ)
KMUD, 6951.75 in AM mode at 0335 with music and a CW ID. It was very under-modulated. (Barton, AZ)
KDAZE, 6925 USB signing off with their
e-mail address, <KDAZE6955
@yahoo.com> at 0430. (Barton, AZ)
KIPM, 6925 USB at 0600 with Alan Maxwell doing a sci-fi drama about discovering a fallen meteorite, which is really a giant glowing polyhedron. He and his astronomer friend try to unlock its secrets in an episode called “The Accursed Galaxy.” (Barton, AZ)
Seattle Free Radio, 6955 USB at 0230 with a theatrical program featuring street music, talk of war, Radio Mystery Hour sketch, music, “Taps,” and the theme from the Art Bell show. (Barton, AZ) (Good to have you on board, Rick!)
Psycho Radio, 6955 at 0230 with “We want
Psycho, We want Psycho.” (Mike Gaukin, OH) 6955 USB from 0124 to past 0137.
(Lee Silvi, OH)
WHYP, 6925 at 2235 with Bozo, Kulpsville SWL Fest References and Poncho
Villa. (Gaukin, OH) 0000 with Kulpsville retrospective show. Perhaps a relay
by Radio Metallica? (William T. Hassig, IL) 6950 as “the new WHYP—pirate
radio’s only ‘80s station.” Very strong on two different evenings. (Jeffrey
Wyatt, MI) (Welcome! But please remember to include UTC times.)
Slim Shady Radio, 6950 at 0115 with
Vicodin, “Bing, Bing, Bing.”
If you operate a pirate station, I’ll bet you’re tired of seeing all these KIPM illustrations, but they send stuff in—and you don’t
