I am truly sad to hear that your station was closed down by the Hungarian authorities! Chaos Radio was my very first free radio station heard from Hungary and it was a thrill to have heard you! I was very pleased when you replied to my reception report and will treasure your eQSL, which I have printed out on the high class laser jet printer at my workplace. I remember back in the 1960's and the 1980's when Radio Budapest aired nightly broadcasts to North America. They were most assuredly propaganda that echoed the Eastern bloc communist party line and although they did have some interesting programs in the 1980's, it was hardly the kind of accurate news one would hope to hear on the shortwaves. I want to thank you for providing us pirate radio listeners with a chance to hear a free radio station from your country! I guess the laws restricting the use of the radio spectrum for unlicensed broadcasting are the same all over the world, with a very few exceptions. I do hope that some time in the future you are once again able to start your own station and express yourself with the music and programming that you feel is what you want others to hear! Thank you again for your broadcasts Chaos Radio! It sure must have been fun while it lasted!
