The so called pirates posted here are in fact just ham geeks clowning
around, if in fact if they were "pirates" they would be on air longer than a
few hours at a time. Would have a real agenda and be a true clandestine
voice and real concern to a government in power.

Even hear one last more than a few hours?

Even hear one beg for money?

The reason they just pop up and then vanish is not due to any enforcement
fears, but rather economics. They may be ham geeks but there are not stupid
enough to go broke providing "free radio." The f¢¢'s don't give a ****
policy is working; just let the clowns go bankrupt that will drive them off
the air. More so on a band (shortwave) with little or no interest beyond the
general public.

Of course you say look at all the number of new ones appearing each day, hey
than along comes the f¢¢ saying to the arrlosers the 40 meters is now
extended to 6900kHz. blow out! Now those ham clowns can goof around all they
want just like CB radio, we don't give **** it's your problem now.

So just keep posting your "pirates" there is no mystery in who these people
are and what they are up to.

Call a spade a spade.
