Ok, this is not exactly word for word what happened, I obviously can't remember all the words that were said, but I'm presenting it as a word for word conversation.

Actually I think he was in the 558 studio, it was taken after the raid, when Caroline 558 returned they used the old dutch studio area for some reason.

>>>What pieces of equipment are good for making it interference free?

Hi, here's Steve's recollection from the soundscapes web site – fascinating reading: http:/​/​www.icce.rug.nl/​~soundscapes/​DATABASES/​CAR/​car17.shtml The day of the great hurricane October 16, 1987,...

Ofcom today confirmed that Community Audio Distribution Services (CADS) are now both Broadcast Act and Wireless Telegraphy Act exempt.

 ----- Original Message ----- From: Nicholas Mead I reckon there are 26 and a quarter stations on DAB here – of which 8 are BBC stations available on AM/​FM or both – and a further 6 are...

It did not survive the raid. Equipment was brought out to the ship afterwards. Both the main studios and the studio(s) at the stern were almost completely stripped, I think only the clocks remained.

When I heard my first land-based pirate - aged about 14 - I had visions of racks of equipment and generators.

I think that there is always a risk of interference with an RF apparatus whether they are legal or illegal, amateur or professional.

I think that in the current "downturn" (why can't the BBC now use the R word – Recession") that the Government & Ofcom should delay the switchover by two to three years.

Apple has unveiled a taller, 4G-enabled iPhone at an event in San Francisco. The device's new size allows it to display an extra row of app icons on its home screen.

The Switchover Help Scheme today (Monday 20 September) published its Progress Review, Helping Older And Disabled People Switch To Digital TV – The Help Scheme Story So Far.

From PCMag: The Department of Justice on Monday approved the merger of XM and Sirius satellite radio.

interference from electronic equipment like dimmers or switching power supplies. On the road I noticed similar interference when driving past some of the dynamic road signs above the road.

I don't know how that equipment shown survived the raid, it was all quite portable so perhaps they hid it?

The power is a little less than 20 watts, it can be heard in Milton Keynes!, the antenna is in your back garden so mind you don't trip over it!!

This just in to me from The Orcadian Earlier this year it looked like Orkney would have two new radio stations to choose from now it seems that listeners may be lucky if they have one to tune into.

The BBC World Service is moving out of Bush House and into Broadcasting House early next year.

So the minister has admitted what we all knew several years ago now. This mess with DAB in the UK is so far down the line now that at some point in the very near future it will all end in tears.

As AM pirates rarely get a visit it seems more than likely that a licenced station in the immediate area has complained about you - unfair competition and all the usual stuff.

What was interesting was that ahead of the boarding of the ships, Israeljammed all communications such as mobile phones, broadband, etc. Why would they need to do that?

I worked for a company which was supplying equipment to a telco customer housed in "street furniture" (as we call it in the business).

Yes , and to think that if there's just one significant volcanic eruption anywhere in the world it will pour more carbon and gasses into the atmosphere than mankind will over many years – and...

Let's all take stock of our own hypocracy here. We allegedly have a democratic goverment which has to fund from taxes and borrowing all the spending depts of government.

Why are there still so many landbased FM pirate radio stations these days? Around London alone there are too many to count.

I have had enough of this little charade, it is obviously the inside of a military radome, perhaps the inside of the ones replaced a Fylingdales by the SPARC pyramids.

Ofcom today published new proposals on the long-term supply of radio spectrum for users of wireless microphones and similar equipment.

Galaxy International are on 6306 kHz SW this afternoon for the first time in a good while with one of their live outdoor broadcasts from motor vehicles and a picnic basket.

1.1 The three months to the end of September 2006 (Q3) saw 800,000 net conversions to digital television (DTV).

Where NOT to place an FM antenna, and other equipment. (88–108mhz). 1 Near a busy road (where there are too many prying eyes).

Of course being a secret agent means just that, going around running a brightly painted controversial radio ship is an ideal way of being a 'secret agent'.

I have just one cassette. Radio Jolly Roger is on one side and Radio Dolphin on the other. Without assembling a lot of old equipment in the garage, I currently have no means of encoding it.

It stands to reason that to be original any pirate station must check most if not all of these boxes, so to speak.

"CSI Laser 558 transmitters had all the major parts stolen and cannot be used again" Are we saying that the authorties confiscated them or stolen as in "nicked"

Hello Eric /​ Steve I have mentioned that 12.00 show on Radio RTE here before.

: and the equipment available has certainly shown its worth : since the move, what with all those long periods of stuttering, : repeating pre-recorded programming and hours at a time off the air.

Yes it is! Copy of the artikel: "So we then developed, or procured, equipment that lets us detect those microwaves, too," says Mercer.
