2010 Pirate Radio Annual

The “2010 Pirate Radio Annual” is at the printer and being finished. It should be available within 3-4 weeks, but I’m now taking pre-orders. It is:
* 126 pages
* perfect bound with full-color cover
* with audio CD-R

It profiles 166 different shortwave pirates, programs, and relayed stations that were heard in 2009. Other features are profiles of the 10 best-heard European shortwave pirates in North America in 2009, plus information for beginners on tuning pirates and shortwave radio.

Price is $17 ($15 + $2 shipping) in the U.S. Sorry, I’m not sure how much shipping will be to Canada & the rest of the world, so I’m not taking advance orders from these areas until the books come in and I can weigh them.

You can send checks or money orders to:

Cabinet Communications
POB 109
BRS, PA 17214

Or if you’re a 21st-century kind of person, you may send $17 via PayPal to info@hobbybroadcasting.com. If you take this route, please also e-mail me so that I’m aware of the transaction.

Radio Joystick

Radio Joystick transmission via IRRS failed today:

IRRS had a technical problem in the digital audio link to the station and one other problem in the studio in Milano.
One of the RAID disks failed in Milano, the system did not recover on time, so RADIO JOYSTICKs audio file was skipped and backup was played instead. Two problems at the same time!

Repeat of RADIO JOYSTICKs show next Saturday Nov. 14 from 1000-1100 CET on 9510.
