Daily waterfalls of pirate activity in the 6800 – 7000 kHz 43 meter band

Daily waterfalls of pirate activity in the 6800 – 7000 kHz 43 meter band

This is something I have been working on for some time… daily waterfalls of the entire 43 meter band, showing all activity, with annotations (done manually by me) for interesting (pirate, utility, etc.) transmissions.

I plan on generating and annotating an image daily, they will be available here: https://radiohobbyist.org/waterfalls/

Here’s the first one, activity from roughly 1200z 15 – 16 February 2023, yesterday:

On this day… 13 Feb…
Nothing before 1993 so far when the autoreverse service of Radio Argus is still on 819 kHz in London, from (IIRC) Hurley House, Kennington.
As this date is World Radio Day I am surprised there are only 4 entries I have gathered so far, and all the rest are after 2000.
If anyone can add to this please get in touch..
