Celebrating a pirate legend Part five

We moved to our current house in 2008 and the radio hobby took a back seat as we sorted out our new home and looked after our first daughter. After a couple of years though, I decided to buy a new receiver. I bought a second-hand Kenwood R5000 and put up about 20 metres of wire down the garden.

It had been a few years since I had tuned in to the pirates and for me the hobby was not burning as brightly as it had done previously. However, I had a listen around the MW one night and have a guess who I heard? Yes, it was Barones. From that night onwards I was hooked on our hobby once again.

This recording, from 1675 kHz on Saturday, February 5, 2011 is the first one I made after returning to the pirate scene.
