The idea of pirate radio is sort of retro-romantic. I love it, but at the same time I have to accept that its place in history is… well, not now. Kind of like tricorn hats. However, pirate radio is more interesting to learn about than tricorn hats, and so maybe you should take a breather and watch a bunch of Brits talk about their clandestine antenna setups.

You know what’s even crazier than this? Numbers stations. These guys have nothing on the Conet Project.
