Halloween 2022 Pirate Radio Activity Report Featuring XFM Shortwave And More

This is my Halloween night monitoring the shortwave radio bands for pirate radio activity.

New to shortwave. Didn't even know this kind of stuff still existed. This is so awesome! 73's from West Michigan.

I always love watching your videos and getting to watch the Halloween pirate radio activity report especially getting to listen to XFM thanks for sharing Larry can't wait to see more ham radio content from you in the future especially Halloween Pirate radio activity

I listened to SWPS briefly in the early 90s. I remember He Man Radio broadcasting in USB (the manliest of modes), Radio USA, Action Radio, KNBS, EBO Radio and others. I was also a member of The A*C*E. I also had a General Class Amateur Radio License (that exp in 2003). I feel very nostalgic for that time. I remember trying to get back into it in the early 2000s, but it just wasn’t the same. When Allen Weiner pirated 7415 for his legitimate station, it was like the end of an era (for me). I sold all of my radio stuff circa 2011 on eBay. Thanks for the video. I sometimes wonder if there’s still any activity on the SW bands. (What with society’s ever increasing move to the digital.) Thanks again. 73

Great video Larry! I used to always look forward to re-broadcast of Orson Wells War of the Worlds from 1938. Cool seeing that SDR software working! 73 Kevin

[@RadioHamGuy]

Thanks Kevin, yes, that was one of my favorite broadcasts for sure!

[@dasimcoes]

Always fun to monitor on Halloween. Conditions up here in Toronto were not great. See you next year!

[@simontemplar0468]

@@RadioHamGuy You are very welcome. Nice to see a fellow pirate radio chaser. Thank you. It's the first time I didn't have to sell a radio...or multiple to buy one. Now I feel like a real ham. Talk with you soon my friend. 73 from the mountain out west. 😊

Nice waterfall display of our signal from the relay of XFM on 6865

[@RadioHamGuy]

It was great to hear that you were doing the relay, I know Redhat apprciated that very much, I just chatted with him tonight. Keep up all the great work there!!

[@mixradiointernationalshortwave]

@@RadioHamGuy Thank you. I had a great time broadcasting XFM. I received many great reports from 6865.

[@ToddFun]

Thanks as always Larry!

[@RadioHamGuy]

Thank you Todd and great to hear from you! Hope all is going well for you. Please keep in touch.

[@dan_from_australia]

Looks like XFM audio goes out to around 13kHz. Might need to write an SDRUno plugin to decode CQUAM :)

[@K6SUD]

Hi Larry, I always look forward to your Halloween vids. Does Redhat broadcast at other times or just for the holiday? Thanks 73 K6SUD

[@RadioHamGuy]

Usually the holidays most common but he can come on at any time if testing equipment.

[@wb0zur]

Thanks Larry!

[@RadioHamGuy]

Well thank you Denton, great to hear from you and hope things are going well with you. Glad you are still watching the videos!

[@billstewart2586]

LOL... Love it brother!

[@seanlynchbp]

Always a good time too bad I was late to the bands..

[@TheInsultInvestor]

hey there

[@-ChampionOfDeath-]

mid mi hell yeah

[@morejelloplease]

Cool video as always, have you ever watched the CB'er named Dino Davila On KZbin? His "just got down" cracks me up. He's an old time CBer who is now a silent key, he was also a ham operator, he likes to have fun with the Hobby and tells it like it is, the videos are pretty old now but his memory still lives on.

[@RadioHamGuy]

No I guess not, will have to look that up! Thanks.

[@RadioHamGuy]

Thanks, I don't think I have so I will have to check that channel out! Thanks again and glad you enjoyed the video.
