                               PRODUCING A SHOW

  What you decide to put on the air is only limited to your imagination, every
day someone is thinking of an idea that has not yet been tried on pirate radio.
This is what is so appealing about pirate radio: listeners are treated to
unique and interesting material. Even if the material is not what each listener
agrees with or likes, most appreciate the fact that it is genuine, without bias
from commercial sponsors, or governmental influences. With that in mind, it is
my wish that this book does not influence the content of your programming, I
will offer suggestions on technique and ideas, but the final outcome of your
work should reflect what you enjoy, believe, and feel; your show should reflect
the reason you wanted to be a pirate in the first place.

 In order to write this chapter, I must make a few assumptions. First I will
assume that you will want to be popular with your listeners, and second I will
assume that you will want to develop some sort of a following of regular
listeners. If you do not fit this category, don't feel that you are wrong; many
pirates broadcast without concern for who listens or what they think and desire
no kind of recognition what so ever. If this is what you want, that's great,
that's what it is all about: individual choices.

  Once you have set up your studio and decided it is time to produce a show,
you will likely have a certain subject matter or format in mind. If you don't,
then take some time and review why you wanted to be a pirate in the first
place, was it to make a certain point or political view, do you want to
entertain or inform, do you just want to play your favorite music, or do
you want to do all of the above? In most cases you will be sucessful at
anything that you enjoy doing. Concentrate on what you would like to hear from
a station; chances are that if you like the show others will also. The
important thing is to jump right in and have fun. Dont spend too much time
trying to sound like a professional DJ, and you don't necesarily have to make a
point, the content of your show will stand alone. Pirate radio listeners are
not like the average FM broadcast station listener. Pirate radio listeners
aren't hypnotized by a slick sound, they listen to content, they appreciate
what you are doing, in fact most pirate listeners report that their favorite
stations are the ones who use homemade productions as opposed to commercially
made material. They also report that they like the stations who do more than
just play music, after all you can hear music anywhere. Whatever you decide to
do, quality production skills, and quality technical skills will certainly put
your station on the top of any DXers list.

  Quality production skills are not difficult to learn. Quality does not mean
elaborate or complicated, it simply means clean, understandable audio, proper
use of equipment, and attention to detail.  If you throw a show together with
little concern for quality, it will certainly be noticed by your listeners;
don't insult them by  broadcasting a bunch of junk just to fill up time. There
can be a whole lot more to being a radio pirate than just being on the air.



-Page 15-

             Here are a few tips that will help you produce a better program:

1. Go easy with the special effects, Reverb sounds great, but after it is
bombarded by  noise and weakened by distance, it often can't be understood and
is quite annoying. If you speak in a normal voice, with no echo or overpowering
background effects, you will be more likely to get your message to your
listeners. Always be aware that long distant shortwave listening is often
difficult, so your programming should contain material that is easily
understood, a good production can be overdone with too many effects and
background noise. Sometimes things are better if kept simple.

2. ID your station often, speak clearly and repeat your ID. It also helps to
have different people give your station ID; some voices are easier to
understand through the noise than others. Some stations give their ID
phoneticly, others have used Morse code.

3. It is a good idea to have a few identifiable traits about your show, this
will help regular listeners recognize your station. In the past stations have
used traits such as Seal barks, Dogs barking, a few bars of music or chimes ,
musical IDs. Some always play the same song at the beginning or end of their
broadcast.

4. When editing a tape, make the edits clean and tight. Avoid long pauses. If
you are recording to a cassette tape, and you have a good recorder, you can use
the pause control to make fair edits but be sure to go back and check the edits
often, most decks are designed with the erase head placed up to an inch away
from the playback head, this can cause you to either clip what you have just
recorded, or create a longer than desireable pause. Know how your recorder
works, make a few test edits to learn the characteristics of it, with practice,
you can make very clean and tight edits with a cassette deck.

5. Use a mixer to soften changes from one audio source to another. A cheap
mixer can add a lot of professionalism to a show. It also will make your
production time much easier and more enjoyable.

6. If your recorder has an audio level meter try to make sure all of your audio
is at the same level, and make sure the overall level is correct; if it is too
high you may get distortion on the audio peaks, if it is too low you will have
increased noise on the tape. Nothing is more annoying than hearing a pirate
station with music coming in at a good level but the announcers voice is so low
you can hardly hear him. Or worse yet, the station is coming in very well, but
it is so distorted that you can't understand a thing that is being said. If you
don't have an audio level meter, you will have to trust your ears. With
practice it can be done.

7. Because you can't announce a schedule, most of your listeners are forced to
try to find you while you are on the air; this usually means that very few
people ever hear the first few minutes of your show. When you put your show
together, it is better to put the most important parts at the end of the show.
Many pirates play a few minutes of music at the beginning of each show to allow
the listeners time to find them, others play an interval signal much like what
is heard before licensed short wave broadcasters go on the air. This lets the
listener know that someone is getting ready to broadcast.  The interval signal
has a few drawbacks, first it requires you to be transmitting longer, thus
giving the authorities more time to find you, and second your interval signal
may not be heard by someone who is just scanning the bands.



-Page 16-

8. In most cases it is wise to avoid live broadcasting . To broadcast live and
sound good is a VERY difficult thing to do. This is not to say it cant be done,
many stations have the talent and experience to do it well. However, others do
it and it is disasterous.  Live broadcasts can result in lots of dead air; if
you encounter a problem you will have to be prepared to solve it while
maintaining a live show in the air.  If you tape your shows you will have time
to review what you have done and redo it if needed, you can take as long as you
like to think of what to say next, and you will almost always sound better.  And
on the technical side, it is much easier to connect a single tape deck to the
transmitter and eliminate the RF noise and feed back, than to connect a whole
studio to the transmitter. If your show is on tape you will have the freedom
to perform other important tasks while on the air, like maintaining a look out.

9. Ground your studio equipment and use shielded cables to prevent audio "hiss"
and equipment "hum". Use quality recording tape (you get what you pay for).

10. Use quality audio input, avoid scratchy records and bad tapes, If you use a

LiberTORian is looking for a deep web user named ZINOV.

In a recent plunge into the deep web, Synonymous 1 stumbled across an onion
called, *Zinov's Gopher Server*.  It contained mostly old-school .txt and ANSI
files of his writing that tended to espouse libertarian virtues and defend
against the cultural insanity that comes with progressive statism.

All of the files are in the public domain, and future issues of LiberTORian may
reprint one or more of the Zinov writings.  Like LiberTORian, all Zinov's work's
consigned to the public domain.  There is no copyright infringement if they are
reprinted.  However, there is no known way to contact Zinov.  No email address
appears anywhere on his or her web site.

Zinov, we would like you to contact LiberTORian.  We can't contact you, so if
you can, please contact Synonymous 1 at:

  synonymous1@ruggedinbox.com

Or, if any LiberTORian readers out there know how to reach Zinov, please let us
know at the above address.
