Subject: European Relay wanted (relay swap w/The Crystal Ship)
| credit: http://groups.yahoo.com/groups/swpirates Subject: European Relay wanted (relay swap w/The Crystal Ship) We are interested in arranging a relay trade with a European shortwave free radio station on a semi-regular basis. We are The Crystal Ship, based in the Great Lakes region of the United States. We have excellent coverage of the eastern United States, and have been reported from coast to coast with a primary frequency on 43 meters with about 225+ watts of plate-modulated power and processed audio. We are also capable of broadcasting on other frequencies with various power levels in parallel with our primary frequency of 6,854 kHz, or using a channel near the main "pirate frequency" in the US, 6,925 kHz, which is likely what we would do for this. Our format is generally rock 'n roll with some liberal anti-war, anti-Bush political commentary, satire and movie audio clips thrown in. We were originally active in 1982-1984, and returned to the free radio scene in 2004. We have issued about 70 QSLs since September 2004. Basically, what we have in mind is this: We'd like to swap programs with an established European shortwave pirate with reasonable power (at least 50 watts I guess) who can broadcast near 40 or 48 meters for good regional coverage of Europe. We would trade programs of up to 80 minutes in length (what will fit on a PC burned audio CD, which is the format we need and would be using), sent to our respective maildrops. Each station would broadcast the programs once or twice (or more, if they like) to their respective regions during optimal local "pirate listening"/reception timeslots. Each station would be responsible for QSLing their own programs and setting their own policy for intercontinental QSLing (we'd be asking for IRCs when announcing our address within the show). We'd like to swap shows maybe once every month or two for a while. The details are of course negotiable. Interested stations should contact us at tcsshortwave@yahoo.com Let us know something about your station, program format, and particularly what kind of equipment you would be using, output power levels, and frequency(s) you would use. Hopefully we can work something out. If there are pirate stations with established audiences in regions other than Europe who would also be interested, we could be open to suggestion there as well. 73s and FIGHT for FREE RADIO!
