“A part of the Vintage Sixties Festival WHEN PIRATES RULED THE WAVES

Pirate radio changed everything. They changed the BBC, the record industry, triggered the ‘Swinging Sixties’ and defied the government both on land and on sea. Shipwrecks, sinking and survival against all the odds. Hear the breathtaking stories told by the guys who were actually there and get to meet them afterwards.

ACHT ILLEGALE ZENDMASTEN IN BESLAG GENOMEN

ACHT ILLEGALE ZENDMASTEN IN BESLAG GENOMEN

Vandaag hebben we ondersteuning geboden aan een actie van het Agentschap Telecom in de gemeente Staphorst. Daarbij zijn acht illegale zendmasten in beslag genomen. De actie was bedoeld om de soms grootschalige overlast die het gevolg is van illegaal FM gebruik te stoppen. Deze overlast bestaat niet alleen uit verdrukking van de uitzendingen van legale zenders, maar er zijn ook risico’s op verstoring van het telefoonverkeer -waaronder de alarmnummers-, het communicatiesysteem van de hulpdiensten en het vliegverkeer.
