You can read about the station's return to the air and see photos of the equipment at its updated website www.wmrscotland.com

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.
