Listeners in the Netherlands are reporting reception of Radio Albatross, an East Anglian pirate station, on 819 kHz.

Once a radio pirate, today a radio teacher
Ian MacRae worked on Radio Caroline during 1966 and 1967 when British offshore radio was at the height of its popularity. In a recent review of “The Boat that Rocked”, he took issue with how the movie portrayed this famous pirate broadcasting operation. Today he’s a “floater” for 2UE radio in Sydney, Australia and runs the Ian MacRae Radio School.

Pirates use the internet
RAIN (Radio And Internet Newsletter)
June 9, 2009
Pirate radio broadcasters are using the Internet to remotely access their transmitters, making it harder for authorities to find them. In the past, broadcast pirates would send their content to transmitters through radio or microwave links. Authorities, like UK airwave watchdog Ofcom, then developed tools to detect such remote links. Now, online audio streams "can also be used to get the signal via modem to a remote transmitter, " explains Paul Marks of New Scientist. This makes it much more difficult for the authorities to track where pirate broadcasters actually are, though Ofcom is developing tools to do so. Interestingly, their "dream is that pirates will migrate to the net and eventually ditch FM."

Steve Roberts
This from the Laser Hot Hits website:
"We are very sad to announce that one of Laser's regular presenters, Steve Roberts, passed away earlier this week from a heart attack. Steve had been with Laser for around 5 years and produced some fine programmes for the station that were always very popular with our listeners.
However, Steve's connection with Laser goes back much further since many of the current presenters on Laser worked with Steve on previous radio stations in the 80's. These include Hits FM, The Music Machine and Veronica Supergold which were all FM pirate stations in London. We all became great friends through our involvement on these stations. More recently, Steve had been producing shows for Internet stations such as Radio Northsea International, Offshore Music Radio and Swedish station, Radio 88 Partille.
You can find out more about Steve and also read some tributes from his friends and loyal listeners at the Garry Stevens message board here."
