[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 1124810, member: 175144"] Almost all the rigs used onsite were very poorly set up, cheaply built and often using an even cheaper low power transfer to the main transmitter. Pirates calculated the main unit would be discovered at some point by the home office and confiscated. It took years for the government to realise the commercial stations (and the independents) were failing the 'yoof' (i believe there was one DJ on Radio 1 that stated pirate radio was out of touch or something similar), and come up with a suitable licence application. Community radio followed. From 1985 [URL unfurl="true"]https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/lords/1985/jan/14/pirate-radio[/URL] and 1987 [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.amfm.org.uk/tx/tx16/ispy.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
