The world’s oldest pirate station with an Internet presence?

Radio Edison began broadcasting in 1952 and must have been one of the first pirate stations in the province of Drenthe.

The landscape of Twente in Overijssel, just south of Drenthe, had had a thriving pirate scene since 1932, but the pirate phenomenon doesn’t seem to have spread northwards (to today’s pirate strongholds of East Drenthe, East Groningen and East Friesland) until the beginning of the 1950s.

According to the web site, Radio Edison is soon to return – as an Internet station.
