Greek AM Radio

[franco]

I don't believe to my eyes... a topic that talks about Greek pirate radio stations !!!!

Well, I would like also to propose my contribute on this topic, inserting some of them that I can receive here in medium waves since approximately twenty years... this is an extract from a frequencies list of the medium wave radio stations that I can receive here where I live (by the way, I have tried to identify the names and the towns, but I'm not sure... any type of help would be more than welcome...)

1620 radio ouranio toxo (larissa) QSL

1622 two stations alternated, radio pilio from volos and radio kallitehnikos (I have received it only one time)

1624 unid greek pirate with 80's and 90's dance music and sometimes with some religious programs (I think it repeats a Greek church radio network, but I'm not sure...)

1625 radio nikos dynamitis (this is for sure from tyrnavos) QSL

1626 radio delta dimitris (from veria)

1629 radio anatolia (kyriakos from kilkis) QSL

1630 radio asteras (may it be from kilkis, and broadcasts also on 1565 kilohertz...)

1632 radiofonikos stathmos eptanisa (may it be a fisherman or a QSO station from kerkyra or kefalonia, but I'm not sure...)

1636 radio baroness (this is not from Greece but from Holland, it's also called "KING BARO")

1642 radio delta (probably the most folkloristic Greek pirate radio, may it be from giannitsa)

1647 zender armada (this is not from Greece but from Holland)

1650 radio samurai (may it be from kalamata)

1680 radio alfa ena (probably from larissa)

1694 radio parizionos (and probably also this is from larissa)

... and, thanks to those pirates, I have started to discover and appreciate the old traditional Greek music that I like very much !!!!

I receive Greek pirate radio stations every night in Cluj-Napoca, Romania.
Sometimes I log received stations on www.mwlist.org
Radio receiver used: CCrane Radio 2E + External antenna Diamond D-303
Would be nice if I could identify some of the stations or even contact them.
Greetings from Romania, Emil.

for my thesis, as an electrical engineering major in the college of Kozani, W.Macedonia, Greece, I chose to build and operate an 60 W AM transmitter, complete with antenna! For the oscillator I chose the 6C4 tube, triode HF oscillator, and for power stage the 807, pentode! The AM transmitter need an audio amp with the same power, thus I bought also an 60 W audio amp! Very interesting, with heavy transofrmers for modulation, high voltage was 1200 volts, although I didn't complete the thesis as I was drafted into the army and didn't have computer access to write the accompanying book. I did a theoretical thesis here in Iraklion college, Crete.
