Does anyone know The list of pirate radio stations in Boston I know of the ones on 101.3, 102.9, and 105.3 thats about it. I also know theres one on 99.1 in Lawrence and a portugeese pirate on 89.3 somewhere around Lowell which starts broadcasting Friday's at 4pm and continues throughout the weekend. And there is also an oldies station on 87.9 in the merrimack valley area.

There used to be a list on B.A.Conti's site but I think that's gone; maybe Peter George's site has one?
But offhand:
Choice 102.9
Touch 106.1
101.3 Big City
There are some AMs like 1690 around Lynn I think
96.5 Brockton...?

BTW, there appears to be a new one up here on the North Shore: 87.9 - oldies (last nite at 9pm, even had "Wolfman Jack") and this morning had easy listening?!?
First noted Thursday afternoon over in West Peabody, near the WP Library. Thought it might had just been a local XM/Sirius rebroadcast, as it seemed strong in that immediate area then faded way down. But checked again over at Danversport, by the explosion site, and it was still in——I have been checking different locations since, and it seems in throughout Beverly (mostly weak and spotty, but occasionally find a stronger signal). Going up McKay St yesterday morning, "Pat Benatar" popped in 1-2 house lengths then disappeared (THAT I do believe was an XM/Sirius feed).

Thats The One I Heard In The Plaistow/Haverhill Area. Last Year It Used To Be On 90.5 Then It Moved Down To 87.9. It ID's It Self As 87.9 The Wave But Not At The Top Of The Hour Ive Been Hearing The ID's Closer To 45 Past The Hour.

Oh good, Thanks for the link Uncle K! Yes, after awhile when I'd tried to get to his page there was
something about "hometown AOL no longer doing pages" but I guess he's got the site up at that URL

Years back I heard a pirate in Haverhill around 87.9 playing excerpts from South Park the movie.
I don't think it was an FM re-transmitter at someone's house because it carried for awhile.

Just tried 87.9 here in my house; got nothing.
Often I'll go through the intersection of Rantoul and Federal Streets in Beverly and pick up Howard Stern
100 briefly from someone's house--even at 3 am

87.9 is in the Rowley/Boxford area, and I don't believe it's the same as the 90.5 in/near Haverhill. This 87.9 was previously on 88.7 a couple years back.

It Has To Be The Same Station Because The Station On 87.9 FM Is Called The Wave And Features And Oldies Format And It Was Also Called The Wave With The Same Format When It Was On 90.5 Both Also Featured Wolfman Jack On Weeknights And 87.9 Appeared Not To Long After 90.5 Disappeared. And Also Boxford Is Only 9 Miles Away So Even With A 50-100 watt Transmitter You Would Be Able To Receive A Weak Signal In The Haverhill Area. They Must Have A Strong Signal Though Because I Once Received Them In Billerica In The Kmart Parking Lot. It Was A Very Weak And But I Caught The ID.
