There are several accounts of many Pirates on the FM band in the 70s as well, but not many details are available.
 
Great list do you know of any more pirates list the web sites you got these from thx
 
95-3 Southwest & 95.3 Boom Boom Room were run by the same group of people from the same location same music with about 6 yrs inbetween
 
Oh, how I miss the "Chucky" show! I had no idea what a 'candy cane' really was until I listened to 95.3 a few years ago. Now that is a REAL Merry Christmas (and it rhymes well too!)
 
None of them did only state you will do jail time for running a pirate station is florida
 
Perhaps my ex-sidekick and traffic partner (who lurks this board regularly) would like to share his story about pirates and the FCC. Oh, Ange---
