Pirate hunt 2023 will be held during Easter 2023 (April 7th – April 10th).
We try to keep rules simple:
This contest is "Just for fun"! No need to argue.
SDR's included remote receivers; Kiwi etc. are allowed!
all bands are accepted but only stations without license are counted (no relays by legal stations) Stations with many names shall be counted only once.
log as many PIRATE stations as possible between April 7th 0000 UTC and April 10th 2359 UTC
ID has to be heard or identification should be otherwise confirmed. QSL or recording is not necessary.
post your full logs on forum (http://bbs.fmdx.tk/index.php?topic=634.0), PirateHuntDX Facebook group or by e-mail piratehunt @ radioaktiiviset.info, during or after the contest (but until May 21st, 2023)
participating is free for anyone and all participants will receive a diploma later
results will be published in end of May
Arguing about the contest rules will automatically result in a disqualification
Pirate Hunt 2023 is organized by a local radio club Sisä-Suomen Radioaktiiviset (Radioactives of Middle Finland) Like Our Page in Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PirateHuntDX

Tuossa alla lokia josta yritin poistaa epävarmat ja tuplat. Voi siihen jäädä vielä jotain hylättävää? Esimerkiksi mietin että onko Cotikenzo ja Zender Akenzo sama? Samoin Enterprise ja Voyager? Nuo kaikki kuultu Paimion etäkuunteluaseman kautta, vaikka lisäksi saatoin samoja kuunnella myös Kiwien kautta. Täydellisempi loki täällä: http://pirateradiolog.blogspot.com/
