Product Description

Experience Radio’s Swashbuckling Side!

Listening to pirate radio is perfectly legal—and frequently an ear-opening experience. This book makes it easier for you to locate and tune in pirate stations—and tells you all about the unlicensed broadcasters who play David to broadcasting conglomerates’ Goliath. Revealing the history of pirate radio from 1925 to today, author Andrew Yoder, pirate radio aficionado and long-time writer on radio, electronics, and audio subjects:


* Explains how to buy and use equipment to listen to pirate stations
* Shows you how to find pirate stations on your AM/FM, shortwave, and online radios
* Explains how pirates have "gone legit" on the Internet, with "how-to-listen" directions, and hard-to-find pirate URLs
* Showcases stations operating since at least 1995
* Provides details on political, local, holiday, and special-events pirates
* Tells you about offshore, European, and pirate stations around the world
* Takes you inside illegal stations, some of which have up to 75 volunteers

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for free radio lovers, Jan 5 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Pirate Radio Stations: Tuning in to Underground Broadcasts in the Air and Online (Paperback)
I did buy the book and I have been reading it completely.
And I did learn my friends. I am a pirate radio operator for years but still nice things to find out about Pirating. I like it a lot and also nice to see how other stations are doing it and finding out about their history's.
Also the book to buy if you want to tune in to al kinds of pirate radio like TV,hf,vhf,internet,fm. You name it.

2.0 out of 5 stars This is good, but the Net is better, Sep 29 2002
This review is from: Pirate Radio Stations: Tuning in to Underground Broadcasts in the Air and Online (Paperback)
This is a good review of SWLing and pirate radio, but the Internet is better.

Of particular notice is the typeface selected by the publisher. It is bizarre--meant as a display typeface, I'm sure. The effect is that this book is almost impossible to read and frankly, it hurts my eyes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb and riveting book on 'Pirate Radio'!, Mar 14 2007
By CQ DX - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pirate Radio Stations: Tuning in to Underground Broadcasts in the Air and Online (Paperback)
As an avid SWL (shortwave listener) and Ham Radio Operator, I could not put this book down! It is very well researched, with excellent illustrations and photos. It also comes with an audio CD with clips of many various 'pirate radio' transmissions. Popular frequencies where you can actually hear some of these stations are listed, and I was able to pull in a few the first night of listening! Highly recommended, and highly interesting!
