check this sh1t out => http://www.pcs-electronics.com/transmitters-transmitter-kits-c-1_17.html

for €400 you get an fm transmitter you slot into your pc and you get a booster, cables and decent ariel too!

15 miles + radius for €400!!

but you don't want it to slot into your PC. Should be up on a mountain somewhere or a tall building with a microwave link or some yoke that isn't easily traced back to your studio

A station of 90's dance music? That sounds... eh... awful!

Pirate radio is a bit cac to be honest. The sound is never great, music is ok depends whats being played. Prefer the legalised radio stations thanks very much! I at least like to listen to the news, current affairs, some sports news, local news, announcements and music!

anyone still alive who remembers a bizarre pirate afternoon back in the mid 80's.....

Twas on Sunshine101 IIRC and the DJ - as the spoof went - locked himself in the studio and played the same song 24 times before they finally got in and took him down !

Definitely happened though in that he did play that song over and over with all sorts of different links in between where he would go on about how they were trying to get in to stop him. How true the whole thing was, I dont know...

It was a station that broadcasted underground dance music during the 90s. It ceased transmission in 1999

Yes, I understood the post, and it sounds awful.

There's a relatively strong pirate on 88.1 in Dublin at the moment, has been there for a few weeks.

It wasn't a decline in radio listenership that killed them off, it was the tightening of the regulations in December 1988. I can barely remember Radio Dublin and Heartbeat 95FM in the late 80s. Too young to remember Nova or Sunshine.

Real 80's? I found that a few weeks back, its excellent. High quality, non stop 80s tunes. Literley tune after tune, not 1 piece of chat.

I stick it on in the car ever morning going to work, i can actually flick through the other 6 presets and every other one will be wafleling ejits trying to be funny way to early in the morning.

And its not an age thing im only 23, but i can appriciate good musics

Yep that's the one. Hadn't really checked it out but I totally agree about the crappiness of morning radio. Might give it a go myself.

6 feet underground is where I'd like to see any dance station and anyone associated with it

that shite is the musical equivalent of a war crime or an atrocitity against art.

Pirate Radio! Arrrr!
