Dear radio friends,
I have been told to expect a TCS relay transmission this evening, and that
it would be ok to send out a prior notice to listeners via email with some
details. This is likely to be our current "That awful seventies station"
music program recently sent to our relay operators.
The show is expected to start around 2300 UTC or thereafter. The frequency
is expected to be either 6925 kHz, or 6850 kHz, or somewhere else within
the pirate range of 6850-6950 if those frequencies are not available.
If the transmission shows up as predicted, we would appreciate you posting
your loggings to our forum at freeradiocafe.com/forum/ if you are a member,
whether or not they are posted elsewhere.
If you are not a member, you can register there, and email me here
afterwards with what username you picked, so that I can activate it. I
have to activate the membership of actual radio people manually, since we
get about 50 spam signups a day.
..... On another note, I have "officially" moved on beyond my long-running
feud with the operator known as "Commander Bunny". That has been the case
for two months, although most may not realize it was a deliberate
decision. Online, I intend to just ignore his antics from now on, which is
probably the best thing for pirate radio. He has exposed, threatened or
abused so many different people now that it has ceased to be newsworthy.
We don't intend to delete any past history, but the whole thing really
needs no more discussion by us-- he's done more himself to prove our case
than we could ever do. While we reserve the right to poke fun at him on
our programs from time to time, the online focus of the TCS blog and the
Free Radio Cafe forum will now stick to the promotion of pirate radio
listening and pirate radio broadcasting.
The Free Radio Cafe
http://freeradiocafe.com (temporary home page) will
be unveiling a number of new features very shortly, the most noteworthy
being a members-only download library of pirate radio historical items, and
numerous technical downloads dealing with aspects of both FM and shortwave
radio transmission which I hope will be helpful to those who would like to
break into pirate radio broadcasting or tweak their current efforts.
73s and FIGHT for FREE RADIO!
