FM Pirate Stations in Chicago?

(1/2) > >>

RCCI:
Living faily close to the Windy City, I have tried, without success, to capture an FM pirate. Chicago has so many licensed broadcasters, and student stations, (college & high school) it's pretty tangled up. As I recall there was one FM pirate on the city's south side that was busted years ago, but for the life of me, can't find on in the here and now.

Has anyone else in the Chicagoland area caught a broadcast, recently? You'd think there might be 1 or 2 floating around.

BTW, just got through reading Sue Carpenter's book "40 Watts From Nowhere" about her Pirate FM stations in California. It was a fast read, and thought it was pretty interesting. She received "The Knock" after boosting the watts. Any feedback on this book?

Steve;

I drive through from the far southwest suburbs through the loop to the near north side fairly regularly, and make a point to check.  Nothing heard on FM in that corridor.

Zane:
I check also and have never heard one.

There are pirates in Chicago. But to get more specific than that in a public forum like this? That would certainly lead to a "capture" that none of us want.

Wasn't looking for a QTH or frequency. Your first sentence would have sufficed. To tune with hope... or to tune with no hope... Thanks for answering.
