Pirate Radio St Helena

"Although we are all disappointed that Radio St. Helena had to cancel its annual Radio St. Helena Day broadcast on 11,092.5 kHz, I have been informed that there will be a substitute transmission one week later from Pirate Radio St. Helena.

The faux Radio St. Helena plans to operate on the familiar 11092.5 kHz at 2300 UT on Saturday, October 16th. You can contact the station during its program by using the following e-mail address: piratesainthelena @ gmail.com The station is busy building a special dipole antenna designed for just this transmission so reception should be good provided propagation cooperates.

The faux Radio St. Helena is preparing its own special QSL for the occasion. All correct reports will be verified with a special Radio St. Helena Day electronic attachment. Send your report to: piratesainthelena @ gmail.com

Good luck!"

London pirate station Rinse FM goes legal

DJ Geeneus was 16 when he broadcast his first pirate radio show from a tower block in Tower Hamlets, east London.
With decks and mixer balancing precariously on top of a homemade transmitter jammed between the sink and the cooker of his friend's 18th floor flat, Geeneus leant out of the window, pointed his aerial towards Hackney – and turned the music up loud.

Sixteen years, countless rooftop broadcasts and dozens of brushes with the law later, Rinse FM, often called the most influential pirate station on air and credited with bringing artists such as Dizzee Rascal and grime star Wiley to the public consciousness, is finally going legit, to the slightly bemused delight of its 32-year-old founder. "Getting the licence gave me the strangest feelings. Nothing don't faze me ... but that did," he said.

Nessie pirate station plan has Facebook page pulled

A Facebook page belonging to the White Witch, Kevin Carlyon, has been closed by the social networking site. Mr Carlylon plans to set up a pirate radio transmitter on the shores of Loch Ness in Scotland to summon up the spirit of the mythical Loch Ness monster 'Nessie.'

He had been using his Facebook site to gather support for his plan. An additional problem is that the airline was not happy for him to include a large battery and transmitting equipment in his luggage.
