As some of you may know, I've been posting on various newsgroups as to
the formation of a new group of radio outlaws. We're licensed hams,
CB'ers, Freebanders, and general phreekin'cie phreeks. Without going
into overly boring detail as to my own personal radio history (you're
more than welcome to check that out at the Yahoo! group's URL listed
below if you're so inclined), a bunch of us have picked 6.8 MHz LSB
for 2-way comms, in addition to 13.555 MHz USB. (And let's not forget
11 meters and all it has to offer -- when ol' Sol allows.) Recently,
I happened to be monitoring our 6.8 phreekin'cie and heard a Pirate
Broadcaster with quite interesting programming. It consisted mainly
of "Number 9, Number 9, Number 9 from the Beatles' "White Album",
mixed with all sorts of quite interesting and innovative loops from
other Shortwave related broadcasts, etc.

Did anyone else happen to hear this broadcaster? I think it was on
Monday morning at around 0200 Z. I thought it was quite interesting
that this individual chose our HF freeband channel instead of moving
up the band to the usual 6925 kHz frequency. Perhaps it was one of
our own members, but so far he/she hasn't said a word claiming
responsibility. I heartily encourage any pirate broadcast activity on
6.8 MHz, as it will surely attract attention to our quickly growing
group of phun-loving phreekin'cy radio renegades.

Rest assured, I am NOT a "Troll". I've been here on Usenet too long
to waste my time trolling for reactions to controversial postings. As
the title of one of Weather Report's last recordings, "This is This",
and what you see is what you get. Please forgive the mixed metaphors.

All ham radio operators, CB'ers, SWL's, professional broadcast
engineers, on-air talent, station owners, and anyone else interested
in clandestine radio operation is highly encouraged to join in on the
phun. Heck, you don't have to be a "techie" or any type of radio guru
to join in on the phun. Just be smart about it if and when you choose
to operate. Not that Uncle Charlie seems to care one way or another
about 2-way communications in general (as long as they're not
interfering with established and licensed entities), rather, their
main interest seems to be in anything consumer-wireless related, like
wireless toothbrushes, wireless beer pourers, wireless wires, etc.
You get the idea. Two way radio is low on their priority list,
thankfully.

Enough banter. Did anyone hear the broadcaster? Or, has anyone heard
any of our members on the above mentioned phreekin'cies? Listen up!
We're here, we're there, we're everywhere! And, by jinkies, we're
having a ball.
