Ah well. I'll log a pirate one of these days. It makes sense that it was
DW,
though. It was coming in -really- strong, and they typically do for me

Seattle. I must admit though, the way they went off the air kind of
surprised me. It was like someone pulled their plug at the top of the
hour.
I kind of figured they'd have timed their programming a little bit
better
than that; it didn't sound very professional.

Your best bet for logging a pirate is on a Saturday night or a holiday,
especially Halloween. Start listening at local sunset to 6955 +/- about
50-Khz. Keep trying and you'll eventually hear one. Most pirates use
regular AM but a few can be heard on SSB.

Thanks for the tip. I'm sure I'll get one one of these days, even if I'm on
the west coast.
