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".

I agree.
