An ancient pirate law states, "An AM op has the right to sign on when and where they please and to make those who operate in the mode known as Satan's Sideband move off of the frequency."

In other words, Hi-Fi AM sounds better than squawk boxes, so quit your bitchin'.

While do do hate Satan Sideband, I still think that when there are so many frequencies available and all the stations have a VFO (no crystals, which was the case tonight) the station that got there later should just move. I do wish less stations used SSB though. It sounds awful and it’s the reason I often use SDR’s to listen to Europirates. The use of Satan Sideband is extremely rare among pirates in Europe.

Songs are identified with Shazam if needed. I usually use KiwiSDR receivers. Reception from my QTH is using a Hermes Lite 2 with a 40 meter band Inverted V at 40 feet.
