Two pirates shut down

Two pirate radio stations in Huddersfield, England, have been raided and shut down.

Ofcom officials pulled the plug on Vibes and Frontline, which broadcast urban music. The two stations, which had to move premises frequently to avoid being caught, were tracked down by the communications industry regulator to adjacent properties in Almondbury on Wednesday.

A 21-year-old woman was arrested. Larry Stoddart, who was one of the pioneers of pirate radio in Huddersfield in the early 1990s, said about £5,000 or £6,000 of equipment, including transmitters, turntables and amplification equipment, was seized.

He said: “Without pirate radio, it’s going to be a very sour Christmas. “These are the only stations providing music that a lot of people want to listen to. Thousands of people listen to pirate radio. If they are using public money to hound pirate radio, it’s a total waste.”

The stations, which operated on FM frequencies 90.6 and 94.7, mainly played reggae, R ‘n’ B and soul and had been running for about four years. They transmitted primarily at weekends and survived thanks to revenue from advertising by small businesses and promoters of club nights.

The man behind Vibes, known only as ‘The General’, has been involved in pirate radio for 20 years and has become a cult figure in the scene.

He said: “I feel rotten about it to be honest. “We give the community up-to-date information about what’s going on and music that they want to listen to. We play what other radio stations aren’t playing.” But he vowed pirate radio would be back. “I’ve got plans,” he said.

Mr Stoddart, 45, said pirate radio helped to reach young people with important messages. He said: “Our main listeners are teenagers and we provide a lot of messages raising awareness of knife and gun crime, sexually transmitted infections and other issues. We are looking for some sort of legislation that would allow pirate radio to operate – maybe having one station per town or city. They say transmitting pirate radio could bring an aeroplane down, but so could a mobile phone.” He said there would be a campaign to bring pirate radio back.

An Ofcom spokesman said: “Ofcom can confirm that it has carried out a raid on two illegal pirate radio stations. Equipment was seized during the operation and is being retained as evidence. The investigation is ongoing.”

During 2008, Ofcom carried out 36 studio raids, secured 28 prosecutions and 14 formal cautions, removed 489 illegal transmitters and issued 74 written warnings to combat illegal broadcasting activities.

Radio "7800"

According to station's op, Radio "7800" are going to broadcast this Saturday and Sunday from 9 to 10 UTC (10-11CET) on 7800kHz.
Email to station: radio7800@wp.pl

Output power is 5W, but aerial seems to works properly so should be audible hundreds kilometers from their QTH, located somewhere in Northern Poland. Unfortunately annoing UTE sometimes makes problems on mentioned frequency.

Radio "7800" is not real name of this stations. This is my personal name of it because real name is not published yet or at least is not known for me.

Atlantic Radio news

Atlantic R, Ireland, 3910, 13 Nov, via Global Tuners UK from 2302 to 2333 with predictably nice signal. However 6960 was not heard, even in the UK.

A QSL e-mail from Stephen Prendergast explained why: "We broadcast from the west coast of Ireland, we have a 80 ft vertical tower that supports a inverted V for our 6960 kHz transmitter (currently 10 watts) and we have a inverted L antenna for 1251 kHz MW. Our 1251 kHz transmitter will not be fully up and running till Christmas, and will operate on 300 Watts.

The 3910 kHz transmitter is located at a different site not too far away, it`s a horizontal dipole, the transmitter was running at 150 W from 2000 to 2210, and then 500 W from then till close at 2333.

This has been our second broadcast, and first on 3910. We hope to return during the Christmas season as we need to make improvements to our 6960 transmitter. Our link was dropping due to water logging in the coax."

10 W is not likely to travel far! 6960 could be an interesting target for the Christmas broadcast.

Former sheriff charged as radio pirate

WESTLAKE HILLS, Texas (KXAN) - A former Travis County Sheriff, Raymond Frank, is being charged for breaking the law by running his own pirate radio station and illegally broadcasting the controversial Alex Jones radio show.

Alex Jones, who describes his radio show as "conspiracy-tinted site containing strong opposition to socialism, communism, and the New World Order," said he had no idea Frank was illegally broadcasting his show.

The FCC adopted the forfeiture order on Nov. 5 and ordered former Travis County sheriff Raymond Frank pay $10,000 for "willfull and repeated violation of Section 301 of the Communications Act of 1934." Frank was the head of the Travis County Sheriff's Office from 1972 to 1981.

New date for Big L relaunch

The relaunch of Big L International on 1395 kHz via the Dutch mediumwave transmitter at Trintelhaven is now expected to take place next weekend (14/15 November). A message on the website of KBC Radio, which will be providing the overnight programming, reads:

“We are almost ready for the relaunch of Big L International. We know you can’t wait for it to happen and apologise for the delay but we have been told it will take a little longer than expected to get everything done correctly and on time. However, if everything goes according to plan we hope to be up and running by next weekend. Once again we apologise, but it will be worth the wait.”

KBC Radio boss Eric van Willegen subsequently clarified that ‘next weekend’ means 14/15 November.

Pirate station raided

TWO teenagers have been arrested after police raided a pirate radio station in east London where drugs were found.

The youths aged 16 and 18 were collared for illegally broadcasting from premises at Leywick Street in West Ham.

Officials from Ofcom, the broadcasting regulator, went in with the neighbourhood police team after detecting broadcasts being relayed through an illegal transmitter located in Stephens Parade, nearby.

The signal interfered with legal radio stations and could be picked up as far as Croydon in south London. The equipment worth £45,000 was seized by Ofcom.

The teenagers were held for broadcasting offences under the Wireless & Telecommunications Act, but later bailed pending further inquiries.

Class B drugs were discovered on the premise during the search carried out with a court warrant, Scotland Yard confirmed today. A 25-year-old woman was cautioned for possession.

Other reports said the station was called Heat FM which broadcast on 96.6FM

Who's watching you?

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.
