Was told today that when they came back recently it was as a pirate and they weren't licensed any more?

94.0 is a good London wide frequency from the right site.

It's the same with 91.8 licensed to Hayes with live squatting on it and 89.6 licensed to the slightly higher powers Westside radio from Ealing all the BBC stations R2 R3 and 4 are 22 points apart and unlike 896 and 918 no body licensed on 94 at the moment

They wouldn't license 94.0 London wide it would only be the same power rinse are aloud you got BBC repeater relay's close to London like 94.1 near Croydon

Probably due preaching their hatred over the air. Think it was something to do with not paying something, there was a thread on here about it last year

Not sure why they are off now but they was always in trouble with ofcom... they got fined a grand a while back because they broadcast complete silence for a week or so lol

Wasn't that what it was they refused to pay a fine or didn't pay the fine so Ofcom stopped them broadcasting, then again I can imagine them getting fines for all sorts, will always remain a mystery how they became legal in the 1st place

They were the first pirate broadcasters to be placed on 'tag'.
http://www.laughingpoliceman.com/court_pirates.htm20 November 2002
Bradley Carlyle Hilt of Wheatcroft Grove, Rainham, Kent, and Sergey Bokuchava of Lords View, St Johns Wood Road, Paddington, are the first pirate broadcasters to be electronically tagged for Wireless Telegraphy Act offences.
Police officers were called to a building in Old Ford Road E3 in January of this year. The defendants were found on the roof with apparatus to set up an aerial and transmitter for their pirate station, Voice of Africa. Both answered “no comment” in interviews. Special warnings were administered, allowing the court to draw inferences.
Both had entered not guilty pleas but were found guilty at a previous hearing and appeared at Thames Magistrates Court on 18 November for sentence. Hilt and Bokuchava have to serve a 28 day curfew in which they must remain at home between the hours of 21:30 and 06:30. The curfew is administered by the use of electronic tags. They were each ordered to pay £250 costs and given a 40-hour Community Punishment Order. The court also ordered forfeiture of all the seized equipment.

Haha nice find there mate, think the worst part about that charge is the community service. Thats the problem with getting caught on roofs, there is no where to run

I remember when they were on 107.7 as a pirate, they were as dreadful back then as they were now.
