Radio Clandestine: November 23, 1980

Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Andy Robins, who share the following recording and notes:

U.S. pirate station Radio Clandestine broadcast recorded on 11.835 MHz (25-meter band) from 1720 to 1742 hours UTC on 23 November 1980 in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Radio Clandestine, hosted by DJ "R.F. Burns," was a legendary parody pirate station of the late 1970's into the 1980's and beyond. Its programs are still occasionally rebroadcast by other pirate stations decades later. Radio Clandestine was known for using frequencies inside the regular shortwave broadcasting bands, unlike other pirates that tended to use frequencies just above or below the 40-meter amateur radio band. In this case, 11.835 MHz was a main frequency for legal station 4VEH in Haiti during this time.
