Oh, yes. We used long very thin wires for aerials in the old medium-wave
days. These FM kids have it so easy, they just stick a long pole up (F'nar)
And they have mobile phones too. We used to give out a phone box number and
stand there answering it for an hour, shivering. It did ring constantly
though.
Beacause our station was the BEST all the others would come round and try to
pull the thin wire down, it was so thin it was difficult to see, but they
managed it a few times, the basts.

> were the neighbours in on it? were they supportive?

Actually the longest lasting station I did was from a ground-floor bedsit
with a feeder going up to the neighbour's roof 5 floors up. They were happy
as long as they got a request occasionally. I actually got a letter from
someone called Stig in Denmark from that one!

> what floor were you on?

In the tower-blocks, as high as possible. My mate on the 12th floor was the
usual, but we once had keys to all the boarded up floors in 3 * 25 floor
blocks on a very dodgy housing estate.

Umm...you don't work for the DTI, I hope? ;-)

haha. no I'm not, but thanks for trusting me.
I'm looking for inspiration (I write) and I'd like to expand a story I did
about a Station, but I don't have one solid idea, just lots of little
scenarios.

You write books?
Kewl. I always wanted to write too, but never found the time.
I'll ramble on a bit more about pirate radio if you like?

Kaden thought of the old Klingon proverb: Fool me once, shame on you: fool
me twice, prepare to die.
