I also heard a faint voice talking un 6950usb
of and on until about 0700 UTC, but it
had faded pretty badly by then. Not good
enough of a signal to provide useful details.
What details I could provide I've already sent
in the previous e-mail.
Hope to hear you again soon !!!

SFR: Keep listening and thanks for the Report!

Hello from PA
I was listening on a Grundig YB400PE I just got. It was Friday 3-19-02.
At about 9:45pm to 10:00pm. You were hard to hear most of this time
but
A few times it was clear. I live at the address below:
Stan Self
509 N. Shamokin St.
Shamokin, PA 17872
I found you on 9650KHz. Some people at rec.radio.shortwave
say you are
an unknown pirate. What I heard was Jokes about Col. Stave Anderson
(?)
and music in between and references to religion?
Regards
~Stan~ aka Zeawolf
SFR: Sonofabitch we did not think there wa
a Shamokin PA, even less that our signal would make it there.

Dear Seattle Free Radio:
Heard your broadcast on Saturday morning and was very surprised.
Did
not expect to hear you all this way east. Below is a reception
report that
I hope will be of some interest. I wish I could have heard
more but only
caught the last 8 or 9 minutes. Also, reception was not that
great. Could you
please verify this report? Sorry for taking so long but I'm
just
now back
from spring break.

RECEPTION QUALITY: Fair, SIO 352
REMARKS: Good audio with some occasional fading; much interference
from thunderstorms to my north and south which made you difficult
to
understand at times
-----PROGRAM DETAILS-----
0721 UTC--man talking, mentioned Seattle; followed by CW & then
a
series of announcements & sound effects including stuff like
"see you later
alligator"0723 UTC--bit of song "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"; more
talk, bag pipes
playing "How Great Thou Art" at 0726, people talking, clips of
what sounded like the 3 Stooges & Dr. Demento

...on the web at http://..." [rest covered by noise]

don't
know if it was you Thanks, enjoyed hearing your broadcast &
hope to hear from you soon.
Good luck, Bill Wilkins
SFR: We don't read CW either, try a program
called cwget and cwtype Freeware! Loud shrill tone? Divorced the eX long
ago, perhaps your thinking of the old EBS tone, followed by: "If this had
been an actual emergency."

Your stn is regularly audible here in the Mojave Desert - I am the

late
February, and love the skit/commercials! Heard you last night
in 6951
USB, alas, a bit too close to my 6948 kHz AM xmsn that ended about
9.15
p.m. We need to better frequency coordinate to reduce QRM.

Hello fellas! Just listening to a MD of an off air recording
of
Seattle Free Radio. It's over 2 hours long, starting at 0430
30 March, 2002 on
6950 USB. Reception was initially good to very good, but I
noticed a
deterioration in the signal to fair to good towards the end.
You
mentioned this www site, and email address. I' m not located
too far away in
Victoria, BC, Canada. My equipment that night was a AOR 7030+
receiver
using a T2FD antenna. I wouldn't mind a QSL card, as I've
never
received a pirate one before. My address is:
Walter Salmaniw
1736 St Ann Street
Victoria, BC
V8R 5V8
Canada.
You were asking for reports towards the end of my MD from Alaska,
Hawaii and Australia. Did you get any? Good luck, and
I'll keep listening
(haven't heard you since)....Walt.l
SFR: O' Canada, O' Canada: Walt, we have Dx'ed
11 mtrs free band to the Kangaroo continent, no signal reports from any
of them though. I'm thinking there are not a lot of SW listeners down under..

You had a loud signal into Burien on 4/16/2002 3:00 UTC 6945.
But by
3:30 UTC digital QRM mostly wiped you out.

Great reception on 6945 tonight until your sign-off at just after
0100 UTC. You had some mike problems, though.
S9 signal here in
Victoria, BC. Will look for your broadcasts in the future.
You must
be pretty close judging from your signal. Are you really in
Seattle?
.....Walt.
SFR: S9 into Canada, but Tom, above, perhaps
only 5 miles away says, " QRM mostly wiped you out" ??? I can get that
kind of abuse on 27.555 USB, I especially like it when the truck drivers
on 11 mtrs tell me that my stock mic sounds like shit. I'm sure Yeasu intentionally
includes shitty sounding mic's with their $800.00 transceivers.

Hi!
I received your broadcast of 5/8/02 on 6945Khz USB. I started
listening at 03:33 UTC, and heard a parody commercial for bartending college,
and for a new movie - "Forrest Dump". Followed by station ID, music,
and a variety of interesting audio pieces. I am still listening now
at 03:58 UTC to "Baby Got Back".
I really enjoyed the parodies and the eclectic audio and music.
I'm kind of "prudish" when it comes to swearing, so I disliked the vulgarities,
but overall am enjoying the broadcast and the creativity.
I'm receiving you at S5 on an Icom R-75 with a 75' inverted-L antenna
outside about 30 ft. above the ground. Before sunset, the signal
had a fair amount of static which I compensated for by using passband tuning
and a wide filter on the signal. As sunset arrived, the static abated
and I was able to listen without filtering. The signal remained about
S5.
Before sunset SIO: 333
After sunset SIO: 344
Assuming you are located in the Seattle area (one never knows),
I am fairly close. I live about 20 minutes east of Duvall in the
Cascade foothills. It is about 50 minutes from Seattle.
Also, you are my first pirate catch, so I am pretty excited!!!
If you would be kind enough to send a QSL, it would be greatlyappreciated
(and honored since it is my first pirate reception). If you want
a SASE or something, let me know where to send it. Looking forward to listening
to you again!

SFR: Vulgarities? Here at Seattle Free Radio
it's god fearing christian radio programing all the time. And if you believe
that line of crap then we have some radio waves to sell you.
We give you an A+ for reporting though and
a "laminated" qso/qsl card is in the wurks...
