That station is playing some pretty good music. That song that starts at 4:23 is also in the GTA Vice City Stories video game. He mat be operating illegally but going by your scope he isnt interfering with any of the other stations. What is the broadcast range of this station?
@Chrisgodoflard watch the other videos, it took us 13 years to get ours, Non-Commercial licenses are free. You just need to find a channel that will fit in your area, and wait for a fileing window........
hey radio guy! it's me squeegie15 from south florida! i'm dyeing to know the very first song in this video it sounds good like something i want to hear! over and over what song is it? can you play it next radio show and many others?
Nothing new. Low power FM stations are normal. You need a triangulation antenna for direction plotting. We used to do this to find some dork on our repeater, and we found him. Fox hunting.
By driving around town, you can usually get an idea roughly where the station is. Next tune to the channel just above or below their frequency and as you get closer you'll hear the splatter get louder and louder. We've found a couple pirate stations this way around here this way with just the car stereo! Good fun. I wouldn't bust them though. Makes no diff to me!
easier to just use a shielded directional antenna to figure out the direction. of course the FCC does not need to do this they can simply view the signal from multiple tower recievers to triangulate the exact location (asumeing the signal is strong enough to even reach multiple towers).
Pirates mostly have better music than the others. Actually, licenses should be granted by the quality of the music. Then the bands would be rather empty :-)
I do like this kind of research . I myself have done this at one time. I have heard some pirate radio station. Haven't really heard much now adays. Keep listening...
You know when you said Modern ROck, I was expecting Nickelback sounding bands, but your bands seem to have a grungish and noise rock like sound which is good.
I didn't read the comments first because usually there is just bulshit written there but on this post I was a fool for not reading! way to go 94.5! I my post on your second vid truly doesn't do justice. YOU ROCK!
I do really enjoy this little video find. keep me informed as I also DX radio stations at night. I have no luck for a while. reception on Sw isn't that good anymore.. Radioman...
This could have been so much more compelling & concise. The key phrase, which we heard ad infinitum, was "as you can see". Yes.. as we can see!
The time it took to show us the frequency list was agonising.
With the superfluous meandering chat, phrases like "newer and more current stuff" (just either of those would do), endless restatements and a feeling we're not hearing anything that isn't already obvious, it was a reflection of mainstream radio waffle vs pirates who just "get on and do it"!
As you know Pirate, there are many people who believe in freedom of speech. These negative comments come from people who have a personal issue with "breaking the law". They tend to rear their heads more than someone who has no personal issue. The good outweigh the bad. Keep it up. Good music.
I just think is preposterous that someone playing good music, not hurting anyone is getting hassled for exercising the free right of broadcast. If the guy was transmitting offensive material, I would understand why it needs to be tracked and shut down. That is my opinion, but I still abide by the FCC rules.
Your opinion is that of a brainwash idiot, because my way of thinking is, as long as you don't hurt anyone and interfere with anyone's freedom you should be left alone and YOU should mind your own business.
If you are so concern about law being enforced then you should nag at your government, your neighbor and even your family because we all break them.Even YOU!
All this world ain't nothing but a matrix. Jump off a building? I am not the one crying like a sizzy about "Spectrum Theft", sucker.
Even though you don't speed, you pay taxes, and don't get laid, doesn't mean you don't break the law. You should move out of the boonies and learn the real meaning of freedom, son. Your opinions prove that you are a wanna be smart-ass.You have the luxury of calling me a scum because of my view, but i bet you would not last in Iraq enforcing laws against real criminals who bomb and kill children. Oh they payed for the bomb so they are allowed to use it and the person who takes it away is a thief?
what I don,t get is from Part 2, he shows his transmitter antenna and this is a decent size tower behind his house.
I would like to know, how he keeps from being busted, Id love to have a tower that big, but mines only a 30 foot mast in the backyard with a groundplane antenna. pushing 15 watts. Id love to know how much power he's putting out.
It is really a quite big transmitter antenna and here in Germany they are hunting pirate readios active. I also got a 15W and a 10W Stereo transmitter but currently no good antenna :/ would be nice to see more informations about 94.5 and maybe tips how to protect ourselves.
One of the things I learned from my time in the army (rto) is that broadcast range is dependent on elevation, not power. That's why I ran a 8' whip on my freightliner. The higher you are, the farther you braodcast. You need to get above groundclutter (trees) or be on open ground.
-If its a pirate radio station, it isnt really illegal, exploring the signal of what shouldnt really be there.
-For licenced stations, mostly anyway, have their tranmitter locations and studio locations on their websites, nothing illegal about finding them a more fun way :p
Before you post anything derogatory, just watch part two of this series. This guy actually kicks ass. But yes, the hamsters are egomaniacs and the biggest group of koksmokers around.
In this day in age.. the FCC doesn't care at all. The ham operators have to police the bands because there are many threats that migrate over to the amateur bands because they go unchecked in the non-ham bands.
low tech, illegal, and leave the guy alone you fat fuck! "it's cute, he has his own liners!" fuck you! Let him be.... seriously this is what you do for fun?
It proves that some folks who comment on these videos don't know about good story telling, and also if you can rattle someone then you must be doing something right!
This guy is kind of stupid. Any dolt with a portable yagi and a Wattmeter or a simple FM reciever could RDF this guy. But no, he needs some damn "spectrum analyzer" hooked up to what looks like a cheap aftermarket tuner.
If you are going to act like you know what you are doing, you should at least know.
well not to rain on your paride but under part 15 of the FCC rules anyone can start a radio station on AM or FM using low power but you need a transmitter licence
That is not true. Part 15 addresses unintentional transmission and there is NO power allowed, may be 50mw or 100 mw which is good for yards. Also putting an antenna up is a NO NO.
There are no licenses unless you get a commercial station licence and that is not a simple guaranteed deal. It is expensive and time consuming to get a license. Chances are you will not get a license, espcially for some yahoo doing it for a hobby.
He's practically showing off the fact he's transmitting! There's a pirate station in Manchester UK with a very obvious vertical dipole on top of a conspicuous pole.
