Funny, up here in Newcastle, UK there are very few pirate radio stations,
perhaps one or two might be heard on a sunday afternoon but little else.
They're easy to spot-- generally mono transmissions, often over modulated
to sound louder, and adverts if any are... amateurish to say the least.
Mind you there's only community stations (one, Galaxy) above 104.4MHz so
theres plenty of bandspace to play with-- 106.5-108MHz is empty.
