 Some more stuff to help you catch Pirate sations:
 
 1. Get a good set of earphones.  They will help you dig out weak
 signals from the clutter.
 
 2. Improve the audio ouput of your receiver.  Most receivers have the
 speaker thrown in as an afterthought which means you can often miss a
 station just because you literally can't hear it.  To compensate for
 this I have run a cord from the earphone plug of my DX440 into a stereo
 tape deck which also has a five-slide graphic equalizer.  Not only does
 this improve overall sound quality and make taping a snap, but the
 graphic equalizer can be adjusted to lessen some types of
 interference. With it I've been able to pick out a number of stations
 that I just would not have been able to copy otherwise. 
 
 
 On to other matters: Last Friday eve. (14 Dec.) a pirate came on the 75
 meter ham frequency of 3880khz.  No announcements, no talk of any
 kind, just lots of folk & rock music.  I heard him (?) for at least two
 hours.  Needless, the hams who usually use that frequency went through
 the roof & I could hear them egging this pirate on to broadcast more
 and more music -- all the while I bet they were DFing the bejezuz out
 of the signal. Doesn't sound like a viable strategy for present or
 petential pirate operators.
 
 RNI in the 11-0 segment of their Dec. 16 broadcast ran Judah Mansbach
 back & forth over the coals a few times.  Someone (not John P. 
 Lightening) got fairly worked up over this government bureaucrat's
 activities.  I wonder if this will have any effect on RNI's future -- 
 esp. the so-called character test Allan Weiner is now undergoing at the
 hands of the FCC.  
 
 That's all for now.
 
 73/Ben
