The Wireless Waffle blog has produced an interesting article about the reports drawn up by the regulatory administrations monitoring unauthorised use of the shortwave spectrum.
He has been through the report and picked out pirates whose activities have been noted by the monitoring stations. But the report does not make clear what happens once the station is noted . . . very few shortwave pirates tend to be raided, unless there is a specific complaint about QRM.
It is also worth noting there are also many international stations, such as Cairo, North Korea and China, who also transmit outside the international broadcast bands. Nothing seems to happen to them.
As the Wireless Waffler notes, these reports raise a lot of questions . . . but not many answers. He also has a link to the actual ITU monitoring reports themselves which feature a lot more than just the shortwave pirates.

THanks for these very important information!!!!!!!!!!
Caroline.
I think the coordinates they mention per station do NOT match the reality, not even spotting the country of the pirate.
They're close enough with some of the coordinates for the local enforcers to get with DFing range.
I doubt it.
For Spider it shows Saudi Arabia instead of Greece.
For Playback it shows Russia.
Well, to them (from dti to cia) i say: Whatever you do , free radio will always be an important usefull expression of freedom which you can not and will not control!
they have been watching us for years.!! know where the transmitters are ect. you just got to be careful..!!

Equally, I could give examples of where they ARE quite accurate.;-)
I won't, for obvious reasons.
