Radio North raided

Image
Radio North raided : The long-running Irish station Radio North has been taken off the air after being raided by the Irish telecommunication authorities (Comreg). The station, based in County Donegal in North West Ireland, broadcast on 846 kHz and has been on air for 40 years. But on Thursday Comreg officials raided the station and, according to reports, took everything.  Another long-running station, Radio Star Country , which used 981 kHz, went off air as a precaution. Recently there have been a number of Irish pirates appearing on medium wave. But many will no doubt pause activities after this raid which has sent shockwaves through the free radio community. There is more discussion about this on the HFU Forum:  https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,168807.0.html Coast FM posted on the forum that the Swedish low power station Asfalttelegrafen had been encouraging people to report pirates to Comreg.

These announcements triggered a local foundation to sue the administration, claiming that the plans to do a pilot were in violation of the 2015 ban on aerial fumigation and threatene...
