The New York receiver seems to receive a lot of pirate stations. 92.1, 92.9, 94.5, 94.9, 95.1, 95.3, 95.9, 97.5, 99.9, 102.3, 102.5, 103.1, 103.9, 104.7, 106.3, 107.9
Anyone else receive pirate stations on a receiver here?
I see people listening to shortwave pirates on the Lexington KY receivers, around the 6925-6950 KHz. area.
Thanks for the tip. I'd love to hear some of the FM pirates, so will check the New York receiver sometime.
There are loads of pirates on the London node but it's mainly used for listening to heathrow airport.
Here is proof that these are pirate stations :

It sounds like the FCC needs to build a field office in Brooklyn, NY because they got alot of cleaning up to do!

What is HD Guard Channel? I assume it has something to do with HD Radio.
Also, do any radios here on GT have HD capability? Ans, a genereal question re HD: Why are there no commercials on HD (I don't mind not having the commercials, but I realize the radio stations need to make money to survive)?
