Title: False alarms do you think your hearing a pirate then its something else?
Post by: radionortheast on December 18, 2025, 08:48:46 am
I thought I was hearing a pirate afew weeks ago turned out to be radio stoke had taken to playing some reagae, wonder how common this is, do you tune to something think it is a pirate?. 

I’ve not heard any pirates ones from the nearest cities here since 2021, dosen’t seem like any will come back now.  I supose the signal might be abit ropey on a bbc local radio station traveling a long distance, might be playing something you’d not normally hear.
I was going to post this over on radionecks too, seems like theres noone over there too, do hear alot of talk of building transmitters but nothing gets heard.

Aew months I thought I was hearing something interesting down there on 88.2, playing brit pop, signal was there for a while stereo sign there but not overly strong, then you could tell this was in a car tx, you got that tell tail fluttering. I think what made me think it was something albert’s talked about something been set up in the pennines in the past, they’ll problalby say nothing is there
