Pirate from Denmark tests on 48 metres

Last night a pirate from Denmark, Radio OZNRH tested on 48m. This was their message posted on the HF Underground forum.
"We start 20:00 UTC (22:00 European Summer Time) and 2 hours until 22:00 UTC. It happens on our test frequency 6263.5 kHz. with somewhat mixed music.
Our output is about 800W PEP on a vertical antenna, 4 meter high with coils on a 'little hill'. Our physical position in Denmark is North Zealand, the Hillerod area (see Google Map). Reports are very welcome here (radiooznrh@'gmail.com).
So if you want to get a really DX station, so you have the possibility now .
We acknowledge with an electronic QSL cards."

Plug pulled on pensioner's pirate radio station

Yellow Advertiser
By Charles Thomson, Basildon 14 August 2014

An OAP cancer survivor has been prosecuted for setting up a radio station to support fellow sufferers.
Brian Barfoot, 70, of Wickford, Essex, appeared at Basildon Magistrates Court last Friday, August 8, to admit broadcasting from a pirate radio station.
 He insisted he had only created the station to offer advice and support for men with cancer, claiming there was a bias in the media towards women's charities. He said complicated registration processes had deterred him from seeking a radio licence.
He pleaded guilty to one charge of establishing or using a wireless telegraphy station without a licence and one charge of being in charge of a premises and knowingly failing to prevent its use for unlawful broadcasting.
He ran the station – named in court documents as Monster House Radio – from a unit in Russell Court, Wickford. He was ordered to pay £250 in fines, £500 in prosecution costs and a £20 victim surcharge.
