I am taking the Pirates Week off line for retooling for a while. I need to recharge my personal batteries and reclaim my Sunday mornings for a few weeks. With the low solar activity and summer static the propagation has been poor and I haven’t been listening much. The show will return, perhaps in a slightly new form in a few weeks. Stay subscribed, we’ll be back in a little while.
* The Podcast is scheduled to return on Labor Day weekend or shortly thereafter *
Yeah, the turmoil in the community has me in a down & pissy mood. First check out NPR On The Media for the replay of the border radio show. And a cool video on the TWIAR home page about amateur radio. Pirates in the news this week include the FCC affirms 10k fine to property owner where a FM pirate station was located and John Doe Owes The FCC $18k forunlicensed Operations in Florida both from TWIAR. Also from The Media Geek is a look at the ability of the authorities to act in the Georgia bust we covered last week.
