UK FM pirates in Greater London 26 Aug 2022

[owen81]

I know there's an FM free radio section in here but is it for North American FM pirate loggings, or any FM pirate radio in general? I had to go to London for my Nan's funeral last weekend, camped overnight not far from Croydon. I was amazed by the number of FM VHF pirates still operating in the big smoke, I logged 11 different pirate stations between 19:00 and about 20:30 UTC on the 26th August. Here in Bristol there are no active FM pirates that I'm aware of, or certainly none with regular broadcasts anyway. The last I can remember was Passion 106 FM which I probably last heard 15 years ago or so. Any other cities in the UK with a particularly active pirate fleet? Maybe there a gap in the market here in Bristol? FM is probably the most likely place to get caught I would imagine.

Remember that FM pirates in London have been logged sometimes as far as in Finland or Ukraine. But the summer Es season is ending for this year. Such a list is useful for the few ones trying to catch FM pirates at long distance.
