Cruisin' 531

Got a spare ship we can borrow?

Ask Christopher. He owns the RR.

So Leyland is your real name then? I'd ide it if I was you, and just call yoursl Stev West when talking about being a pirate DJ.

No I dn't have aship, but how about a small boat, and just transmit one day a week or a few hours every day? We'd get caught if we transmitted 24/7

Not much point in hiding my real identity; Ofcom already have a fat A4 file on me.
It was fun looking with them at all the surveillance pics of me they had in it after my last raid.

It's all sorted. Christopher is going to sail his Ross Revenge up here to Liverpool and the Xanadu rig will be installed. I'd get too seasick in a small boat.

You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull
his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that
there is no cat. – Albert Einstein

No point. Nobody would listen.

I'm happy for you to use my ship, the Ross Revenge. When would you like to get it?

today. But that won't happen, because it need restoring

I hope to get it up to Liverpool and on the air for August 14th. That would be a great on-air date, I think. Or maybe we could leave it until the anniversary of the date that Caroline North disappeared. Which would be best?

both. The more pirate broadcasts, the better.

Yeah, but you can count the number of anoraks in this world on a brace of hands. What a radio station needs is massive audiences to deliver to the advertisers and sponsors. Not even legal / licensed stations are delivering this, which is why the radio business is in chaos right now. What would an offshore station do that the legal stations can't do to make people listen?

And. How come you're not at school today?

It's not about getting loads of listeners. It is about providing an entertaining service. There are loads of pirate stations out there, only anoraks or people into that kind of music would listen to them.

And. How come you're not at school today?

I was sick this morning. I hopefully can record all of Mike Read on Big L today.

It doesn't need restoring. That's just a smokescreen put out by those who need you to believe such things. It's good to go. If you're ready to organise the movement of my ship the Ross Revenge, then please come and get it today. Have you arranged for tugs to move it?

For the broadcasting, this might be of help:

Ok.

So, how do you pay for everything without loads of listeners to deliver to the advertisers?

Very good, except of course we are not in America nor are we broadcasting from land. Plus, to be honest, there's a wealth of first hand expertise sitting in their bath chairs tapping on their keyboards on Anorak Nation. The know-how is here already, young Mouse, no books need to be read.

The more help you get, the less likely you are to get raided.

The fuel as just one example, not to mention the wages and maybe the food for people on board.

Do you know how much fuel it drinks running a big transmitter? You pay for it by advertisers giving you money to play their adverts on the air. However, advertisers only give you good money if there are enough listeners able to hear their adverts. If nobody's listening then why would an advertiser give you money? No money, no fuel, no radio station.
