Title: pirate station inside a airstream trailer
Post by: hsmith77 on August 07, 2013, 2013 UTC
My  brother knowing my interest pirate radio asked me if i saw the Storage Wars program about the pirate radio station .  He did'nt remember which show it was but 2 of the guys pooled their money and bought a 15.000 dollar air stream trailer . The trailer was worth much more but the best thing when they opened it up there was a complete high dollar pirate station inside . Did anyone see this show ?Would love to learn more about this.

I can think of at least two pirates who operated out of big rigs. Anteater Radio in the 90s, and Big Thunder Radio a few years after that. Anteater got married, and the story was his wife made him give it up, although he still shows up at the Fest now and then, and posted occasionally on the old FRN. Big Thunder just sort of faded away as some pirates will do.

 Yes i met Anteater at the fest i few years ago . In fact he had his big rig there and he invited me to ride along with him as he did a short broadcast . Very cool guy i wondered what happed to him.
 I found out it was Storage hunters and the price was $12,500.
