Artem's World Music Show 8

Artem has posted his latest World Music Show for download or relay at http://www.sendspace.com/file/lfuhpq.  This show is a little different, since it is just music and jingles (mostly for summermeeting), with just a few comments at the beginning.  Music is from Africa, Russia and Latin America, with some very nice selections. 

Wizard's Pirate Review 10

Wizard Radio has posted his latest review of Dutch medium wave pirates (plus a few British).  After taking the last two months off from reviews, he has a tremendous number of audio clips in the show, recorded by himself and friends in Holland.  It is almost 2 hours in length, but well worth the listen.  Download at http://www.mediafire.com/?r4sdkeubdpea5bs

CoolAm Jingles

CoolAM has a variety of jingles available for download at http://soundcloud.com/pirate-radio-jingles/.

Promos are available for Pirate Radio Night http://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com (this weekend) and Summermeeting http://www.summermeeting.net (next weekend).

Cheers, Terry

New QSLs from CoolAM, Rave on Radio and Tidalwave

Hi everyone:

No logs tonight.  I spent the evening having supper and some beers with a very nice SWL/ham from the western US who was visiting.  Hopefully, my enthusiasm for free radio was contagious. ;-)

I have received some nice QSLs recently. This one from CoolAM Radio is rather special ... he uses a  1.34 m balcony mounted mobile antenna!

Thanks Andre!

This QSL from Rave on Radio in the US was a very nice surprise.  I didn't send a report because I thought that my reception was too weak, but the op sent me a card for my post on hfunderground

Thanks Rave on Radio!

Finally, Radio Tidalwave sent me this new, very colourful QSL.  A great card, as always from Tidalwave.

Thanks EJ
