 Pirate radio mainly, or like us run a small radio station twice per year
 which operates using a restricted service licence issued by the UK Radio
 Authority.  A large number of the stations broadcasting in London are
 pirates.

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.

A lot of the Pirates in London have RDS, advertising departments, the
whole lot, and in Stereo.  I can't see anyone wanting to transmit in
mono these days with the reasonable cost of TXs' from some
manufacturers.  Some of them have backup systems so that if the gear is
confiscated during a swoop from the UK Communications Agency, they can
be back on air within hours sometimes minutes.

Sorry for an OT post,

You forgot the H in hello! 

Reminds me of the gal whose skirt blew up on a windy day.  A passer bye
said to her, "A bit airy isn't it?"  To which she acted insulted and
replied "Well, what did you expect? Feathers?"

Funny thing is, it's legal to sell transmitters on say 105MHz here, legal to
buy them, legal to own them, but illegal to use them.  What the f**k do these
people think you're gonna do with such a thing if you buy one?  Then again
everyone in the UK with a CB radio should renew their CB Radio Licence
annually-- I bet less than 5% of CB users have a license, the post office
probably gets more requests for dog licences than CB radio ones :-)

For non UK subscribers the dog licence was withdrawn in the UK several
years ago.
