Another SWL'ing rip, and nothing new under the Sun, of course. https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-395376A1.pdf At this rate, FM piraters might have to do what shortwave pirates have done, 'gorilla warfare' style of broadcasting. Go mobile, broadcasts at a temporary location, and get-out. It's been done before.

Do you mean "guerilla warfare" or is "gorilla warfare" some kind of pun that I'm unfamiliar with? Just askin'.

Huh??? Maybe, my grammar is bad, in this case. But, I am referring to the tactics of going in to a location, set-up to do a temporary broadcast, tear down, and get-out, before anyone comes to look for the station. And, I've just looked it up. Looks like you are correct, as in 'Guerilla Warfare'. Not a term that I have used often, at least not since the Contra and Sandinista ordeal in El Salvador. (Am I dating myself by saying that?) So, thanks for asking.

No problem. I remember the Sandinistas and Contras and it's probable that I first heard the term used in news reports of that conflict.
