Download your free 2016 Calender - Pirate Radio Europe

Happy New Year!  Here is my little gift for all pirate radio fans.  

I have constructed a 2016 calender featuring QSLs from over 40 European pirate stations from 17 different countries.  It also lists national holidays for all countries where pirate stations or fans are commonly found.

I thought that this might be more useful than my usual Christmas card. :-)  Simply staple the top and tear off a page each month.

Here is a sample page (low resolution):



The calendar can be downloaded in Word format from box.com by using this link:  


PDF Format:
I had to scan each page as a separate pdf file.  Sorry.  Here is the link for each page.
(If anyone can combine these into one pdf file, it would be greatly appreciated.)

Let me know if you like the calender and use it.
