Radio North raided
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.
