Pirate Radio

Experience Radio’s Swashbuckling Side! Listening to pirate radio is perfectly legal—and frequently an ear-opening experience. This book makes it easier for you to locate and tune in pirate stations—and tells you all about the unlicensed broadcasters who play David to broadcasting conglomerates’ Goliath. Revealing the history of pirate radio from 1925 to today, author Andrew Yoder, pirate radio aficionado and long-time writer on radio, electronics, and audio subjects: * Explains how to buy and use equipment to listen to pirate stations * Shows you how to find pirate stations on your AM/FM, shortwave, and online radios * Explains how pirates have "gone legit" on the Internet, with "how-to-listen" directions, and hard-to-find pirate URLs * Showcases stations operating since at least 1995 * Provides details on political, local, holiday, and special-events pirates * Tells you about offshore, European, and pirate stations around the world * Takes you inside illegal stations, some of which have up to 75 volunteers * Shows you how the FCC tracks pirates and often enforces its regulations harshly * Gives you a CD with over 80 minutes of audio from dozens of underground stations
