We need an XFM or a Triple J for the Middle East...

I assume it is, what would the implications be, if we went down the legal route, how do we set up a new Radio station?

Only the police and military have entitlement to these. The Autodrome went through hell to get set up communication between cars and pit and even now it's a problem for some teams and events.

You can't have CB at all; it's illegal.

Guess it's to prevent the dodgy DVD vendors from getting organised.

Supposedly, it's a security issue, but who knows the real reason. All cloak n dagger stuff!

Re: Pirate Radio - Dub FM

Bison - you could always try what I original (pirate radio) wanted to do in London.

You only get caught by triangulation, so if you have a mobile antenna you would be fine. Or you have the antenna hooked up to an wifi connection - all they confiscate is the mast and receiving equip... You can broadcast either from on the move in the jeep of just whip up a mast and broadcast from remote via wifi / internet.

Do it mate - just don't repeat a whole load of bolllocks... oh...
