[HCDX]: Pirate Pages (PiPa) #209

[ayoder@xxxxxxx (Andrew Yoder)]

Howdy all & welcome to PiPa#209! (This is just the cover sheet, PiPa #209
should either be an attached file to this or should follow right after my
own greetings & name). If you only get the cover letter & not PiPa#209, drop
me a line...it's happened a few X....
       
I'm starting to get a bunch of PiPa emails bouncing, so...starting with this
issue, I'll be deleting the addresses of those whose PiPas bounce back. If
you mysteriously stop getting PiPa, but still want it, drop me a line & I'll
get your name back on!

Hobby Broadcasting
For everyone interested in hobby-type broadcasting, whether micro radio,
pirate radio, Part-15, cable-access TV, Internet radio, etc: The new
magazine "Hobby Broadcasting" should be out sometime around February. It
should be about 32 to 48 pages in an 8.5" x 11" format--featuring lots of
how-to articles about personal broadcasting. Right now, we're finally up to
requesting articles & classified ads, selling advertising, and processing
subscriptions, etc. Subscriptions in the US cost $12 per year ($24 by air to
Canada & $43 to Europe by air). I haven't checked the surface mail postage
rates, but it should be *much* cheaper to receive HB via surface mail if you
live outside of the US. For questions, etc., write me at: ayoder@xxxxxxxx To
subscribe, submit ads/articles/etc., send it to:
        Cabinet Communications
        PO Box 642
        Mont Alto, PA 17237 

The Last of the Pirate Radio Directories! 
I'm not talking about the 1998 Pirate Radio Directory, which should be out
in a few months. The old 1989-1993 Pirate Radio Directories are almost
extinct. I just bought the last of the stock out from Tiare & no more will
be printed. Once they're gone, that's it. If you're really into listening to
North American shortwave pirates and want to read up on the history, here's
your chance. Each directory costs $6 (doesn't matter what year) + $2
shipping in the U.S. Make any checks M.O.s to Cabinet Communications.

6210 Radio Pamela S3/4 at 1200
6220 Laser Hot Hits S3 at 0825

6300 The Farmers S4 at 0940

Did any one notice when the 6mHz band dropped out around 1250, but 5mHz
still held up? Laser, UK Radio, Pamela, RFL(6275) all faded in to the noise
but I could still hear RFL on 5805. The Farmers got stronger which means the
band went long skip.

34 and using about 400 watts of TX power, 4 tubes: EF80, EL84, 2*4CX250B. The
modulator has 8 tubes: ECC83, ECC81, 2*EL34 and 4*TB2,5/400. The TX is fed
into a halfwave dipole. Gertie already is active since 1980!

Another mystery this week again with YANKEE 2-0 or YANKEE 2 KILO on 6250 kHz
after last weeks 92-20 and X 2-0 around Christmas. The station of this week
announed itself as ?this is the legal Y2K? (or Y20?!) by a male ?DJ? several
times and playing film and offshore music. Who knows more?!
Surprisingly RADIO PAMELA signed on just after the close down of the Y2K....
