I THINK Great Britain had a "Floater' or 3, as well. People just didn't wanna listen to the pap Mama Beeb put out, hence the "Pirates"/floaters. Here in America, we have the ever vigilant FCC-"Funny Cookie Company"- that guards our airwaves from such evildoers. But pirate stations pop up here all the time-Sometimes they're hams or CBers wanting a new kick, sometimes they're kids playing radio, teenagers looking to screw w/the local legit radio. Back in the Seventies, we found that if you parked in a certain spot in the shopping plaza parking lot, turned to Channel 19 on the CB, you could "Walk" all over WRGS, 1370 on yr AM dial, & totally bollix up Rev Clapsuddle & The Redeemed Gospel singers.
