Has anyone heard a French pirate radio station on 102.1FM? It can tune it in Roslindale, Hyde Park and Milton.

There has been a 102.1 pirate off-and-on in the area for a while, for a couple of years anyway. The French you're hearing may actually be Creole.

It is Creole, and some days it is Classic Soul

You guys have a serious problem with those up there don't you?
Its all because Boston Legal stations, smell like my yesterday Boston bake beans, that I drop in the bathroom this morning .
 
It would be rather funny if someone blasted 10kw into his signal. While the guy was on live. maybe elevator music or a good french porn excerpt.

Eli, I am aware of a 102.1 pirate from Brockton, but this station is really limited to the Milton, Dorchester, Roslindale areas.

I don't get to the Brockton or metro-south areas very often. I'm usually around greater Boston and the north and west suburbs. I've been hearing a 102.1 pirate off-and-on for a few years that I assume is from somewhere in the Boston urban neighborhoods with French-Creole and Haitian programming, though I've also occasionally heard R&B and Caribbean on it. Their technical quality sounds poor compared to the better sounding pirates, and their signal is comparatively weak. I've also heard it throwing a dead carrier with no audio at times, and sometimes it's completely off the air. I know it's not the one from Brockton, I'm too far from that area. I think it's probably the same one you're hearing.

Where are you able to pick up this station on 99.7? I'm in boston right now, unable to get it.
 
It must have been Rapking who brought his mister microphone to church.

There was a 99.7 Gospel pirate in Dorchester, only on the air at certain times. I think that Nassau Broadcasting may have complained to the FCC about it because people were reporting that it was causing interference to WCRB 99.5.

Just wait un til one pirate encroaches on the turf of another pirate.

it happened when I was at Allston-Brighton Free Radio. A Hatian pirate was messing up our signal (we were a pirate at that point, too). I don't know what Steve Provizer did but they turned down their wattage...
