Pirates just off hf end of medium wave
 

Who are these AM pirates. Most seem to be Dutchmen as far as I can tell,
playing music from their own country, but every now and then you get
something you recognise.

Sometimes they speak English and explain something about their aerial or
somesuch, but is this some kind of tradition or what?

There used to be UK ones at one time.

Erm, yes, and their channel spacings are different too, but how is this
related to pirates here in the UK from Europe?

I would have thought that Brian's ".co.uk" email address provided a

It is standard practise to give one's location, the frequency of
interest, and the time when discussing radio events.

I do not try to divine the above data by reverse engineering 2 lines of
IP routing history.
