Pirate Radio Superlatives
By Andrew Yoder

Over the years, radio listeners have asked Andrew, “Who was the first pirate?” or, “Who was the first pirate to broadcast

largely empty record book, with few dots to connect. But this article isn’t cast in bronze, like the plaques at the Baseball Hall

Thanks, Andrew!  Good information and look forward to the next one.
