Title: some Dutch FM pirate antennas
Post by: Newfoundland DXer on February 16, 2011, 0209 UTC

I have read many stories of FM pirates in Europe using unusual antenna locations.  However, for sheer audacity, Dance Radio Amsterdam has to be in a class by themselves.

Woah! Some gutsy pirates! :o

That must have been something doing that on the power tower... it feels like ants crawling on you that close to the lines.

Peace!
