I'm Beerus Maximus, from Massachusetts.
I began DXing pirates and other HF oddities in 1990. It all started when I read the pirate loggings in Popular Communications. I was immediately hooked. Not long after, I caught my first real pirate station. I believe it was "Radio EXP" and it was on 7415 one snowy Sunday morning.
Below is a picture of my current listening post.
Primary HF receivers are a Kenwood TS-480SAT and an Icom IC-746. The Kenwood is connected to a 40 meter dipole, and the Icom is connected to an 80 meter dipole, both in my back yard.
Other radios include:
- Radio Shack PRO-83, dedicated airband scanner - Radio Shack PRO-95, miscellaneous public safety - Bearcat BC895XLT, local public safety scanning - Bearcat BCT15, statewide public safety scanning - Uniden UM625c, dedicated VHF marine reception - Icom IC-2720, dual band VHF/UHF amateur radio - Icom IC-725, modified for DRM reception - Icom IC-T2H, 2 meter amateur radio
Boxed up in their cartons, I have a variety of portables that I use for travel, including:
- Sony 2010, new in box, one of the last sold by Universal Radio - Sony 7600GR, traveled extensively with this one - Degen DE1102 - Degen DE1103 - Eton E10 - Eton E100 - Grundig S350 - Radio Shack DX-398 - Motobras (model unknown), won in Ragnar's Piratesweek contest - GE Superradio III (quantity 2) - Variety of small AM/FM pocket radios...
People who aren't into radio simply don't understand the obsession...
