VOLUME THREE - NUMBER FOUR
March 30 1997
Hello from New Zealand.
We have now "ironed out" the problems with our WWW site page.It is all
working now, and has been improved on immensly with other pages being
added to the main index at:
http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/9885
Have a look, as your comments are important to us.
If you want a link from our page to your's please let us know what your
URL is and we will add it to our index list.- There are a few there
already.
There will not be any b/casts next week from KIWI RADIO.
We carried out a "special" test at 11.45 - 12.55 hrs UTC ( Sat 29/3/97
UTC) on 7475 khz USB directed to Asia with repeats of Radio Pirana Int,
and Radio Cochiguaz from South America.- We will see what results we
get.Unfortuently we were not heard as far away as Sri lanka / India -
perhaps due to the fact that it is only 6.00PM local time there, when it
is 1.00AM here. We will try to find a "clear" frequency for more tests
to India etc from about 15.00 hrs Utc ( 3 am here).
Todays ( Sun 30/3/97 UTC ) broadcast at 07.15 UTC >>> on 7475 khz USB
will feature a repeat of the two South American Free Radio stations:
RADIO PIRANA INTERNATIONAL
and RADIO COCHIGUAZ INTERNATIONAL

Book news & ad:
"Pirate R. Operations" is now available. It's 376 pages of info about
how
pirates put a station together & successfully broadcast. It's mostly
intended for pirate listeners, & beginning & intermediate pirates in the
US, but if you're an old pirate or from outside of the US, it should
still be an interesting read. Cost is $18 + $2 shipping in US (add $1.20
sales tax for Pennsylvania residents only). (list price is $19.95)
I've finally got more copies of "Pirate Radio: The Incredible
Saga
of America's Illegal, Underground Broadcasters." This book is 340 pages
of info about pirate r., the history, current stations, how to hear
pirates,
etc. It has an audio CD with about 18 min of audio clips. Cost is $25 +
$2 shipping in the US (add $1.62 sales tax for Pennsylvania residents
only).(list price is $29.95)
If you live outside the US & wanna buy a book, drop me an e-mail
and I'll check how much it will cost to mail.
Last, I've finished the 1997 Pirate Radio Directory. Tiare said
it
should be out in late March.
If you want to buy either of these books, send a check or mo

REVIEW OF "PIRATE RADIO OPERATIONS"
By Andrew Yoder & Earl T Gray
1997 Loompanics Unlimited - USA
ISBN 1-55950-151-0
The Book is certainly a good size at 366 pages and is of a comfortable
hold.
My initial impression is that the "Plain" cover could have been much
better thought out, and better use of graphics made, instead of the
"badly" designed "Comic strip" type cover. My rating on the cover is
1/5.
THE COVER DOES NOT ATTRACT IMMEDIATE ATTENTION to say the least.
The print type and layout are very clear and concise. It is easy to
understand and remember.
The use of graphics, both photographs and drawn illustrations are to the
point and very easy to understand.(Even an 8 year old could build an
effective HF antenna from the details given.)
The Chapters are well positioned in sequence of importance.
One MAJOR fault,( although it is almost impossible to keep these details
up to date ) is that some addresses and Email contacts ( including the
Author's ) have now become out-dated.
It was a great idea to have four blank pages at the rear of the book to
allow notes to be made by the reader - a very worthwhile addition.
The information in the book is most definetly correct, and is very
detailed in it's content. An incentive for the reader to keep reading.
Chapter Four on Public Relations and Chapter Eleven on Safety Issues are
a must for any Radio person. It has some very "commonsense" details that
most people tend to overlook, let alone remember.
OVERALL COMMENT:
Cover: 1 / 5
Layout: 4 / 5
Content: 5 / 5
Overall 4.5 / 5
Final Comment:
A "MUST" for any person interested in Radio / Radio operations.
I feelt that after getting into Chapter Two - I "HAD TO" keep reading.
The contents will always leave you with the sense "to Finish" the book!!
Very good value at US$19.95 plus P&P.
It would be very difficult to match this book "Pirate Radio Operations"
with any other book in a similar field of interest.
IF you can "ignore" the cover and get "into" the book, you won't leave
it alone.
Excellent value with excellent information. A book NOT to be left alone,
or ignored. It raises many questions to the reader like : is this how
they do it ??, why do they do it??, and can I do it ??. The questions
keep coming.
If you can get a copy DO SO. We would recommend this book to all
readers.
This is a "handbook" to starting up and operating a Radio Station.
Star Rating: **** ½

RADIO FREE LONDON
3945 and 6400 (and maybe 5805)
Here we go again with another RFL non-stop
broadcast right across the Easter weekend.
This time we've left it to the last minute
as we are not as organized as we were at
Xmas. We are trying to get on the 5805 service
to run in parallel with 3945 and 6400 and at the
time of writing this mailout I don't know if we've
pulled it off yet !
Friday 28th Line-up
Andy Walker
(Listeners letters, email's and phone calls
and loads of outrageous talk)
Kenny Myres
(Classic rock and Heavy metal)
Jodie
(The latest album rock releases)
Adrian Cooke
(More surfing around the Net to look
at the best pirate web sites)
The phone line will be open all over the weekend (except of
course when we are sleeping) Call us on 0378 355 174 and
calls only cost 12p per minute from within the UK.
RADIO FREE LONDON UPDATE - 27/3/97
After a load of problems at the site this evening
we have made it on the air but not on 3945 as
the transmitter has once again gone "pop" !
5805 and 6400 are on air at the moment
although the mod on 6.4 has too much bass
which we can't do anything about at the moment
as we are using a link and this is the
cause of the trouble.
Hopefully the 3.9 rig will be repaired tomorrow but
if not, there is a standby unit we can use if we
go and collect it. If we can't sort old the mod trouble
on 6400 we will pull the plug on 5805 and the link
and stick to 48m and 76m as usual.
And to Top it all it's "Bloody Raining"
