I enjoy reading this site as I'm quite big on pirate radio, but here in the UK.
I see this site as being a mainly american radio site, and feel slightly jelous that their isn't a UK based/focussed one as I believe the UK pirate scene is one of the best in the world, especially in London.
I have decided to create a forum just for the UK pirate radio scene, and would like to link it here not to 'steal' any people away from here, but rather have an additional forum to visit should you be interested in UK pirate radio.
Now this site is brand new so hardly has any members or threads and really needs people to get posting lol
Please have a look especially if your from the UK and want your own dedicated forum.
Well we accept you's all from the UK over here but yeah this tends to be more of a US based message board, or at least English speaking which includes you all for sure, but different rules an regulations because of government.
I find our forums tend to be the spot for FM pirates in the US, and others who are just hardcore experimenters. We seem to have the tech side of the pirate community over here as FM seems to be the "new guys" to pirate radio, however old it may be.
It's odd in a way and I may be very wrong but I tend to categorize these forums, we being the new tech FM group with some good interest in AM and SW but usually the guys for electronics theory in general, the FRN for a group who is tight knit from their beginnings with mostly signal reports and logs with a bit of banter and long time oldies, AlphaLima for the euro crowd, and HF Underground for those who are sick of FRN lol.
I'm probably wrong there somewhere but I don't care. We have our people here who are committed to the second most important part of pirate broadcasting over radio and that is the technology side of things.
Of course our forums are growing and so is our community, and WELCOME ON THAT NOTE! Invite your friends over!
There are quite a few pirate based message forums, but lets face it the gurus come here
Indeed, I agree with you, it's a great site, now I might seem like a spammer with only 1 post lol but I've been reading this site for ages, the technical sections are brilliant, but it's a shame their isn't more discussion regarding the actual UK scene especially around London.
Literally the band is FULL of pirates in London some 24/7 running hundreds of watts from the top of towerblocks, it really is something else !
Thanks for allowing me to pop a link up, and I've returned the favour on my site, however we haven't got many members yet
Keep up the great work over here, I certinally might start joining in a little now I'm registered.
