New book about offshore pirate radio

Pirate Radio: An Illustrated History Hardcover by Keith Skues & David Kindred 

The description on Amazon says:
"In an age when the airwaves were tightly controlled by the authorities, pirate radio was the illicit and illustrious haven for music lovers across the nation. From the first broadcast in 1964, the cowboys of the radio world fed their listeners' desire for pop and rock music and, by doing so, changed British radio forever. Through more than 100 crisp, black-and-white photographs, Pirate Radio: An Illustrated History brings to life the 'golden years' of pirate radio. Featuring pictures of the crew, the boats and the fans, this book takes the reader on a journey from the formative years of pirate radio, through its political persecution and beyond."

New QSL from Weekend Music Radio


I've received a new QSL from long-running Scottish pirate Weekend Music Radio, which is sharing facilities with fellow Scot, Radio GSV. The transmitter is one of WMR's old 807 rigs. You can read about the station's return to the air and see photos of the equipment at its updated website www.wmrscotland.com

Many thanks for the QSL, Jack.

Somerset pirate station vows to return

thisisthewestcountry.co.uk, 17 September 2014 

The bosses of a pirate radio station in Taunton (Somerset) say they’ll be back despite being shut down for the second time in five months.

A spokesman for the industry watchdog (Ofcom) said the raid on Rage FM on Friday morning was part of an inquiry into “radio interference”. A Rage representative said he was incensed by the early morning operation.

He said: “Their (Ofcom) tactics are turning desperate. “Their activities woke many residents – just to seize an FM transmitter rig and aerial from a tree. Their claims of interference to emergency services radios and anti-social behaviour are generalised to say the least and no such evidence exists in our case.”

QSL from Radio OZNRH


Quick reply from Radio OZNRH from Denmark. I heard snatches of music on 6263.5 kHz on Saturday night and sent audio files to the station to ask if it was them. Today I got the reply to say it was OZNRH. In his reply Ole said they are only using a 4m high vertical coil antenna but are increasing the height to 6m to try and improve the signal. Many thanks for the QSL.
