105.5 Worcester Pirate

Stealing? What? You mean they are selling ads better than the crappy competition? Cool! Remember to support your local Pirate!

The article says that there are many, many pirates in southern N.E. and the feds seem to be cracking down on them though there's a long way between these warnings and actual shutdowns, fines, etc. I would expect
stations next to legit stations (105.3/105.5 situation) would get the most attention. They are BLOCKING
legit stations from being received and is simply wrong. Yes, there is a need for diversity in programming but there are only so many frequencies. I would urge those who want to start such efforts to go to licensed
brokered time stations, college stations, etc. rather than go the pirate route.

You may "love pirate radio" but what if someone decided to set up another station a few blocks away on
the same freq or an adjacent? Suddenly...wow...that awesome pirate station can't be picked up anymore.
Woe is you! But this is what happens with legit stations whose areas are being infringed on by unlicensed
broadcasters. It can even cause interference to aircraft frequencies.
