“Timmy, that’s Radio Strange Outpost 7! Get your decoder ring!”<\/p><\/div>\n

While attending the Winter SWL Fest this year in Plymouth Meeting, PA, I left my WinRadio Excalibur running day and night back home, recording spectrum in the pirate radio watering hole. I always find that while shortwave pirate activity is slightly lower during the SWL Fest (because many pirates are in attendance), there are always some interesting stations I miss.<\/p>\n

This year, I was chatting with famed Pirate Radio enthusiast\/author, Andrew Yoder and mentioned how I love rare pirates like Radio Strange Outpost 7. He then told me that he’d just noticed a logging of RSO7 on a pirate radio forum. I quickly logged into my home computer (via smart phone) and could see that my receiver had been capturing the right frequencies at the right time. When I returned home, I dug through the spectrum and found the broadcasts of RSO7 and Shrunken Head Radio (possibly the same pirate?) via the WBNY relay service. Woo hoo!<\/p>\n

RSO7 is semi-cryptic, quirky and always fun (check out my off-air recording from last year<\/a>). Though this broadcast contains no real music content from RSO7, Shrunken Head radio does.<\/p>\n
