FRIDAY JULY 6-SATURDAY JULY 7

PIRATE RADIO NIGHT

http://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2012/06/pirate-radio-night.html

I'm planning to organize such event on 6th and 7th of July. I would like to invite every pirate broadcaster to take part. It would be great if many stations are on air. Here I will publish the list of the stations, I hope at least 20 stations from Western and Central Europe will take part (Georgi Bancov, Bulgaria blog, via Gary Drew, dxldyg)

Lots of stations have signed up as of early July 6, but none above 7630 kHz, so reception beyond Europe will be difficult.

THURSDAY JULY 12

The last broadcast from Bush House will be 12 July. Many BBCWS language services are already originating their programs from New Broadcasting House (Kim Andrew Elliott) I suppose without inside info it will not be possible to tell which are which (gh)

UPDATE: The last BBC broadcast from Bush House will be the 1100 GMT WS news in English on Thursday 12 July (Chris Greenway)

SW frequencies at 1100: 6190, 6195, 9740, 11760, 12095, 15285, 15310, 15400, 15575, 17640, 17760, 17790, 17830, 21470 (BDXC Broadcasts in English)
