So THAT is where the term "Pirate Radio" comes from, huh.. that's great.
I had friends all in the pirate radio thing in the twin cities. FRTC 93.1 (free radio twin cities).. the music was fucking excellent. They moved around a bit and managed to stay on the air through the years I lived up there. But, they were breaking the law by totally bypassing the FCC(?). I knew them for years.. pretty well actually.. I was a roommate with one dj for about 6 mos.. still, I never saw the studio. If you weren't a dj you couldn't see the studio. They went great lengths to protect the location and such.
That station turned me on to some people and groups I would have never heard of otherwise. I remember Shoogie Otis was the most notable of them.
If you are in the Twin Cities checkout 93.1 FRTC.. A google search shows they are still OTA. I THINK it starts at 8pm..used to anyway. You pretty much gotta be IN Minneapolis. I was Washington x Lyndale kind of area and I picked it up perfectly..
