Radio nerditry: looks like another good weekend (at least in the mid-Atlantic region) kicking off for the shortwave pirates. Radio Mix International with a booming signal here on 6950 kHz USB.

The shortwave pirates are an odd and enduring phenomenon that predates social media and the Internet. They operate intermittent, illegal broadcast stations with potentially wide reach (regional to global), but on frequency bands that most people aren’t equipped to receive. The authorities (in the US, lately) largely ignore them.

The urge to scream into the void is a strong one.
