Airwaves driven gaga by pirate radio

PIRATE radio DJs who set up an illegal station put a 10-foot aerial on top of a block of flats (in Crawley, West Sussex) without anyone noticing.
It was only discovered when Ofcom received complaints after interference with air traffic control systems at Gatwick Airport.
The pirates managed to get through security gates at Robinson House on the High Street and into roof space with access to the roof.
They even fixed a lock onto the back of the door so they could not be disturbed while at work completing the process.

Three months community service for Israeli radio pirate

The Haifa District Court, sitting as the Criminal Appeals Court, has sentenced a man to three months’ community service for broadcasting on a pirate radio station, the State Attorney’s Office announced today.

Yehuda Sorogon had been originally convicted in the Hadera Magistrates’ Court of making illegal broadcasts on Briza, a Haifa area pirate radio station broadcasting on FM, between 2005 and 2008. However, the State Attorney’s Office had appealed to the higher court against the original sentence of probation imposed on the defendant.
