Here first a short description:
My name is Harri Kujala. I live in South Finland in
Naantali (a little city by the sea). I am DX-listener since 1973
and during the years I have monitored and
reported radio stations from all over the world.
In these pages I show you my DX-listening history, mostly from FM and pirate
radio. I think I have the largest Dutch pirate QSL-collection and the 2nd
largest FM-QSL-collection in the world. Also I had own pirate radio long time
ago (photo).
Now I work for two local commercial FM-radio stations in Turku. These
stations are Radio Auran Aallot and Radio Majakka.
Among my DX-history I list here also my latest QSL-replies, loggings and happenings in my
radio-scene. Nowdays I listen mostly pirate radios on Medium Wave and FM-stations
from all over Europe.
I have two blogs
Pirate DX-blog
(pirate radio on SW, MW)
and
FM-DX-Diary
(FM-DX-blog)

- TAKE A LOOK TO
REALLY BIG
FM-PIRATES IN
HOLLAND!!! HIGH TOWERS WITH DOZENS OF KILOWATTS!!
When you know the risks to broadcast illegally on FM in Holland, you find
these guys to be really "crazy"...
There are many Dutch FM-pirates broadcasting on FM with even 30-50 kW ERP
(Heard in Denmark...) !!
- I visited two high-power Greek pirates
on 11-12.10.2006 in Larissa, Greece.
