I Googled "Newport Pirate Radio" and the station has a Facebook page and some other links. I've never heard of this pirate before, wondering if it's an online only station because I can't hear them on 87.9 FM here. According to their Facebook page they are located in Newport,RI and they have a MixLR link and a Tune In link which aren't streaming at the moment. I've never heard an FM pirate in Rhode Island but years back I did hear one in MA. This one is interesting and definitely a mystery! 8)
Thanks for the show and the FM relay UNID guy! :)
