outside of Region 2.

There's a well-known Bible-thumper in the US on that freq. Was the
programming religious in nature?

We at the FCC don't care who the Pirate is because afterall, we want to
eventually auction off the Ham Radio frequencies to the highest bidder in
order to raise money for the U.S. Treasury.

Heck, no one wants hf (at least around here - and the FCC has no authority
in Africa). It is VHF and above where the money is. Who wants a cell phone
when someone can come on yelling "audiooooooo ..." from 5 states away?
Nope, hf bands are probably *reasonably* safe. My bet is that 220 and 440
are the next to get hit, but I hope I'm wrong.

Safe from direct use, but not from pollution like BPL...

3965 kHz is inside a broadcast band in the rest of the world - it's only the
USA that have 3500 to 4000 kHz as an amateur band. In the rest of the
world, the amateur band ends at 3800.

There are many Euro-pirates that broadcast around 3900 - some with quite
high power, and many of which have been heard worldwide.

Says he is located in the Blue Ridge Mtns and gives a U.S.
toll free number to call in when he is on the air. The number
is different for each show, because he says he temporarily
rents the number.

Wellllp!~ Guess I got THAT one wrong! Wonder if it's the same
pseudo-neurotic militia creep that was on 6955 and 73(24?) a couple
eyars ago...???

There are some great Dutch and German ones on that band, as well as UK
stations like "Radio Skeleton" which is usually just some guy waffling on. A
bit Wogan-esque without the in-jokey hyperbolic conjecture, excepting the
joke in the nomenclature, being that it's the "bare bones of a radio
station". Well, it was funny the first time.

By the way, I heard that in the UK, they are going to throw the licensing of
hams over to the RSGB, which is a sort of self-appointed amateur radio
regulating body. I don't know how true it is, but these days more than ever
in the UK, you can't believe anything you see or hear!

Anyway, who cares about licensing as long as nobody gets hurt? Sounds like
the RA only bother about it when it suits them. Or possibly more accurately,
when it suits the treasury.
