free to those who contribute. Inactive members who want to subscribe may do
so, by sending in $5.00 for a yearly subscription to the Stoneham address

Lotsa stuff this time around. KRAP made a couple of very nice sounding
transmissions. Dr. Tornado of R. Metallica has returned, WREC made sure
everyone had a chance to hear his End Of The Summer Special and Joe Mamma
returns with a new station name.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are now on our NEW SCHEDULE of a Saturday 0000 UTC deadline and
alternating editorships. Let's hope all goes well. In case you forget who
is editing which issue, just send your logs to both of us each week. That
way you can't go wrong!

WREC WANTS INPUT!!!
P.J. Sparks, pirate radio's answer to Howard Stern [this is meant to be a
compliment!] is putting together a "Best Of WREC" show. He'd like your
input about your favorite song or parody bit heard on past shows. Let him
know what you'd like to hear by writing to either Box 1, Belfast, NY 14711
or Box 109er, Blue Ridge Summit, PA 17214

ITALIAN PIRATE BUSTED.
Giovanni Serra emailed us to say that the Italian pirate Radio Mariquita was
busted on September 2nd by the Italian Escopost. The transmitter was taken.
This info from the Radiorama Pirate News.
Editor's Note: This was a low power station around operating around 4 mHz.
The thing that I liked about them was their QSLs, which featured "nudie
cuties"!
