Pirate Radio identifications of 2025

The identifications of the pirate radio broadcasts, which have been receivable at my remote QTH during 2025

I'm using only my own remote QTH equipment located 100 kilometers to the north from Helsinki, Finland. On July 29:th 2025 a lightning strike destroyed my router. Fairly soon after having a new router I was able to continue dx:ing locally. Getting back to dx:ing remotely from my city QTH took about two months with computer operating system and several other software renewals plus other hardware improvements.

The total of identifications amounts to 254. I have tried to filter out pirate station relays via licensed broadcasters as well as relays of licensed broadcasters via pirate stations.

Following identifications have been counted in. Several identifications on the same line have been counted as one. Identifications are marked by the receiving wavelength: on shortwave (SW), on mediumwave (MW) and on both (SW+MW)
