Last night around 11 p.m. Pacific Time (0600 UTC), I received WRMI on 7570 kHz carrying WRMI Legends

Receiver: Tecsun PL-330

Antenna: MLA-30+

Signal: S7

Mode: AM, 3.5 kHz bandwidth

Audio was muffled with some fading. This is one of the stronger WRMI signals I receive.

Has anyone else on the West Coast been hearing WRMI this well lately?

A new broadcast of VOSR International will be on in about 5 hours on both 5850 kHz at 0200 UTC and then right after on 9455 kHz at 0300 UTC.

We will have a segment on the Zenith Transoceanic Series of radios and of course our Mailbag Segment.

Hello community members. I have decided to start a new Pirate radio community here, on Reddit. After being the top poster in the existing pirate radio group for the past two months, I made the decision to leave that community.

I don't want to start out on a negative vibe, but the Mods in the pirate radio sub have not posted in their own community for years. The newest Mod posted 4 years ago. The older Mod has not posted anything for 8 years and is a Mod in 13 communities! I have trouble properly moderating 1 community. And there are no comments from the Mods either. I attempted to contact them with some suggestions on how to improve the community - CRICKETS. No response. It's painfully obvious that they don't care. So I believe it's time for a new community for Pirate Radio.

In starting a new Pirate Radio community I hope to create a place where we can share equipment, best operating practices, and how to listen to Pirate Radio Stations. My goal is to make Reddit a safer place to share. It has become possible with r/ShortwavePlus, my first community. I ask your help to make it a reality for the new community.

I'm looking for a couple Moderators that would have the time to check in and keep up on the new community. I will probably use AI for eQSL Cards and Promos for Pirate Radio Stations. I plan on using less AI generated images in the Pirate Radio community. If you are down on AI, this might not be a good fit. I am hoping to find Moderators like we have for r/ShortwavePlus. They have made the community what it is!

The new community is r/PirateRadioPlus. I hope to see you there.

A new broadcast of VOSR International will be on in about 8.5 hours on both 3975 kHz and 6160 kHz at 1800 UTC.

There are 2 types of watches. Radio controlled vs GPS satellite controlled. The radio controlled watches use WWV, and the Satellite GPS watches like this one use a satellite that it can connect to while outside.

The radio controlled watches were much cheaper, about $800, while this one was around $2,220 with tax.

The amazing part is that by using radio waves, these watches are accurate to the second and you don't have to set them, ever.

The main difference is that since the radio controlled watches use WWV, it can synch while indoors, where as the satellite controlled watches synch to the automic clock while you are outside. Both use radio waves to receive a signal, they just come from different sources.

Some good news.
