Not sure if this is the forum for it, but here it goes:

Smack in the 160M ham band, mix of classic rock, led zepplin etc. Not sure what the deal is there.

Hey Monophobia ,

Hmmmmm.

Something actually IN the 160 M band  : Kind of a tough call ( and maybe  semantics ) but in the old days we probably would have called this station a jammer,not a pirate.

Jammers operate within a band usually to mess with another ham that they don't like or are just drunk, etc.

It's NOT about  playing music for an audience.

IHMO, pirates operate outside of a band, even if just by  a few KC.

Jammers  often transmit on and off ( just to screw with someone) and don't give made up  ID's ( ie This is Radio Ding Dong , etc).

I think this is what we often refer to as "hams behaving badly".
