Last night about 10:45 I was driving in the area of OST & MLK I heard a station on 89.1 playin rap hiphop came in with static but still listenable. The auido sounded way to bassy after every track theere was 4 to 6 seconds of dead air between the next track might have been a ipod hooked up to a transmitter with some decent power. I listen to this station for 45 min never heard a dj on the mic or a station ID I could not even find any thing listen on radio-locator site about this station so is 89.1 a new rap hiphop pirate.

Well.. I *think* I udnerstand what you're trying to say.... if you can't find it on radio-locator.com and the station is playing hip hop, it's most likely a pirate..DUH.

It is most likely a pirate...... if you didn't find it anywher ein the database, it's gotta be.
It could have been someone's satellite or iPod since he was driving at the time. Were you behind/in front of the same car when you were hearing this, DJboutit3? If so, that's a more likely culprit.

Re: 89.1 Possible Rap Hiphop Pirate
The nearest 89.1 is in College Station and thats 85 miles away. It's listed as "Variety" and is a community station, I doubt theyd be playing Rap/hip hop. The other 89.1's within 200 miles of Houston are religious. There's an 89.3 about 35 miles away and it's a Class C1 100KW non COmmercial religious station.
So, none of the 89.1's nearby would be playing rap/hip hop and with a Class C1 on 89.3 35 miles away there is no way a licensed 89.1 would fit into Houston.
VERDICT?
IT'S A PIRATE!!
P.S. It's spelled "Possible"

I think I can help > I was in the area hood myself . I heard Lil Kim, Lil Mo, Lil Jean ,and Rich Little . Then there was Ice cube ,Ice Tea, Ice water listeniin on my radio. I looked around as the sound was getting stronger, and lo and behold ,damn there was an antenna with a jolly roger hanging from it, so i stopped off at the stop and go and got me a bag of Jolly Ranchers. it was a good chillin time for all.

How many country pirates have you ever heard of? Part 15s, maybe, but it's never been a popular format with those who really want to flout the law. Someone should start one in midtown Manhattan to capture all those country listeners that people insist are there.
99.99% of all serious pirates out there air either rap, 'patriot' talk, or non-English programming. That's just the way it goes.
