Any pirate radio around the St. Louis AM-FM analog or HD radio dial?...

At what frequencies in recent memory around the St. Louis AM-FM analog or HD radio dial are or have been heard current or special occasion or intermittent or one time or any pirate radio broadcasts?... or such?
 
There used to be a strong Spanish language pirate on 92.7 FM in South City - it broadcasted from a church on South Grand and could be heard all over StL County with a couple hundred watts of power; it even was featured on the front of the Everyday section in the Post Dispatch. Also in the 90s, a friend of mine who passed away got busted by the FCC for running a 50 Watt pirate playing Big Band and nostalgia music on 95.1 FM in St Peters. There are a couple of Part 15 Micropower FMs in St Charles County; there is a station on 95.1 FM that can be heard most of the length of Hwy 370 from 270 to 70 broadcasting a Sirius satellite radio Soft AC channel, and a station on 107.1 that can be heard around the vicinity of Hwy K and Laura Hill Rd.

There was a guy named Pat Ryan who ran a very powerful pirate station in Kirkwood in the 1980s from atop a TV store on Argonne in Kirkwood; it ran a couple of hundred watts on 99.7 FM, and was also broadcasting on Shortwave. It ran several years on FM in the 80s, and it was ultimately the shortwave broadcast that got him busted.
 
I remember 95.1, that was about 1999, I think.

I can pick up 107.1 in St. Charles, but it's WEAI out of Jacksonville, IL. I think the signal is deflecting off the water tower off Muegge Rd.


I used to be able something at 87.5, it was playing old Jean Shepherd (from WOR in New York) shows or something.
