Any San Antonio Pirates?

We all know about the Austin pirate at 90.1.
But as someone on the Houston board posted this question, it inspired me to ask for my town as well.
Are there any pirates on in the San Antonio area?
Just curious. I just checked up and down the dial where I am, and heard nothing out of the ordinary.
 
There use to be a station on the east north east side that use to play rock called RPM Radio on 96.1 or 97.1 I do not know what happened to it

On 02-05-2008, 08:34 PM, you posted this: In San Antonio there is a hard rock meatal station 410 & Esienhauer rd North East Side 97.7 RPM Radio last I heard back in 04 it was still on the air

I found that post here: http://www.radiodiscussions.com/showthread.php?523780-Pirate-radio-in-Austin

The frequency is different in your post back then so 97.7 might be the correct frequency if you are writing about the same station that you heard in 2004.
 
From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirate_radio_in_North_America
"RPMRADIO Central Studio" in San Antonio, Texas operated on 97.7FM, broadcasting uncensored rock and roll for over five years. Using publicity stunts and public demonstrations at large music concerts to gain supporters, The RPMRADIO Network brought the first pirate radio broadcasts to an area that was considered "the Garden of Eden" of radio markets, and caused a minor revolution in the programing practices of radio broadcasters in that area. When they finally received their first notice to quit from the FCC, the station operators went underground, and continue to operate several "Low Power Pirate FM Stations" throughout the area. During this time, the local corporate media outlets, including all the TV stations, newspapers, and radio stations, maintained a total news blackout as to the existence of this group of pirate radio stations."

Haven't really heard anything on the air recently though that could indicate RPMRadio is back.
