Ahoy,

Calling Neil, calling Neil... come in Neil....

Come out and defend yourself, if you can spare a minute from steering
the boat to its anchoring point 14.5 miles off Felixstowe.

And why would the web site be an anonymous domain name registration??

Eric

back to you soon.

Jackie

However you like. You said you normally used YouSendIt, so that would be fine. I've used that before, and I don't have problems with it.

That one would not be hard to get round would it ?
Surely you could just register it under another name other than you own
just to be safe, in a country that has not signed the marine offences
act.
Interesting thought that Crusin531 does not seem to have its own website
yet though so close to launch ,supposedly.

Which countries haven't signed. And have googled, I've been looking at this kind of thing for months. i found that Italy and Nepal allow 'Private Radio'.

Many UK dance land based pirates have their own full blown websites
that relay (or are relayed by) one or more FM signals. So if that's
possible easily then I guess that it will be even easier for
offshore..

Keep the faith :-)

You can't have wired broadband offshore, so it's not reliable. It will probably be a microwave link sending the station's output to an onshore place for the web stream, and the MW transmitter on board.

That's not an option, IMHO, as that would be seen as helping and in breach of the Marine Offences Act. Well not unless the microwave managed to reach Panama LOL

It could be someone ele working at the station doig his, or Neil might have just left it there unnoccupied.

Nope, which ever way you twist it if the microwave link was being received in the Uk it could be switched off in seconds.

Doesnt have to be a microwave link. could be a low-power VHF or UHF transmitter, a laser beam or somethng like that.

No sorry, anything connected to an illegal broadcast can be confiscated by the authorities and even being in the middle of the north sea it would still be removed cos the equipment would be on UK soil.
In short, sending an unlicensed signal to somewhere in the UK for internet transmission could result in equipment being taken away. They could apply that rule to any unauthorised station if they wanted to. Most, with respect guys, smaller station wouldn't be high on the priority list, but a 24/7 station might grab attention and/or receive complaints from someone and that would be the end of it.

The UK authorities can raid a radio ship even if it is in international waters, so it makes no difference where the equipment is. Or have they found a loophole in the 1990 broadcasting act? I assume that he ship is in the Noth Sea, because it is broacasting to most of Europe and the UK.

I'm not sure any of this is of value. If the station were to launch we could debate it then. As it stands now there's nothing to debate. As has been mentioned, a station starting an AM service in 2 days would be testing transmitter/antenna things now, well I would be. And even low power tests would have the anorak world alight with messages.
So here's an idea. Let's wait and see if an AM station appears and then after eating humble pie for not believing it we can then debate the net connection legalities.

Hello everyone. Red Sands Radio will unfortunately transmit this year NOT on the AM! See http://www.bobleroi.co.uk/ScrapBook/RedSandsRadio_13/RedSandsRadio_13.html Greetings of Nico from Gouda, the Netherlands.

Didnt Laser 558 used to get programming from the states they received from a omni-directional satellite antenna on the Communicator for transmission ? I remember on the old pictures of the communicator there was a large silver sphere at the back of the ship supported on a fairly short mast. I think the programmes from it were put out live as well.

Only way round is a studio on land sending out a legal web stream,
which is then picked up on the ship and relayed. And the land based stream has no connection with the ship and makes no mention on air of the AM signal. It works with some large land based pirates in and around London. But would be no fun !
