London pirate to become legal

London-based pirate station Rinse FM has been awarded an official radio licence.

Founded in 1994, Rinse FM has become a legend amongst pirate radio stations. Usually short lived, the station has been broadcasting for over a decade showcasing drum 'n' bass, garage, dubstep and more.

In that time the station has launched countless careers, helping to spawn entire genres.

Now the underground station is set to be rewarded with an official radio license. Rinse FM will be available to hear legally later this year, broadcasting from its base in London.

Tougher action against Dutch pirate stations

The Radiocommunications Agency Netherlands (AT) is stepping up action to prevent illegal radio broadcasts. The agency will not only close down stations that are on the air without permit, but will also target aerial towers “obviously intended for illegal broadcasts”.

As a first step, AT inspectors will pay warning visits to land and home owners on whose premises suspicious constructions are spotted. “If these are used illegally, they will be fined 2,500 euros plus a conditional fine of 2,250.” The total fine that illegal broadcasters risk “can total up to 33,750 euros”, according to AT spokesman Gernant Deekens.

Zender Postoffice

Here is a message from Ronnie Rodent:

"I will soon be putting a station on air, called Zender Postoffice. For the moment it is online only, but hopefully soon it will be on SW and MW.

The website is http://zenderpostoffice.webs.com

The first test transmissions will be on the 20th June 2010 at 18:00 UTC (19:00 UK time), online only. The stream will be opened with silence before hand so you can listen to the very beginning. There is a time delay of about 1 minute on the stream, so the audio may not start until 18:01 UTC. Please send us reports by email to zenderpost@hotmail.com to let us know how the stream went, and we will send you a QSL, either by email or post, which is up to you.

After that will be the proper launch online. The date and time for this has not yet been decided, it depends how the tests go, but it will probably be on a Sunday evening.

After the launch, broadcasts will not be at any specific time, but most live broadcasts will be on Sunday evenings. Pre-recorded shows could be played at any time, most likely weeekends and maybe weekday evenings.

If you would like to get involved, please send an email to zenderpost (at) hotmail.com

Londonderry radio pirates

A newspaper has carried a story about pirate radio operators based in Londonderry, Northern Ireland, hijacking the airwaves. The Derry Journal carries an interview with Peter Clutton MW3GWP the owner of the yachydda website. The paper reports that amateur radio enthusiasts across the UK have been tracking the activities of the Londonderry pirates - identified as being based in the Altnagelvin and Strathfoyle areas of the city - on dedicated 'ham' radio websites over recent weeks.
A spokesperson for the communications watchdog Ofcom is quoted as saying there is no evidence at present to suggest they are causing "deliberate or unintended interference to Civil Aviation Authorities frequencies". The interference being complained about appears to have been on 3.697 MHz in the 80m band.
