Hey shot in the dark here but, you wouldn't happen to have any pirate broadcast airchecks of WLS's Ron Riley from this time period would you? I'd be interested if you do.

In my experience, many commercially-available mp3 CDs of this type are mastered from mulitiple-generation analogue tapes and the sound quality is, let's just say, not all that it could be.

[@IainPurdon]

Yes, a point it makes clearly on the record label. You don't acquire these things for quality, it's nostalgia all the way.

[@andrewscott1253]

Pirate stations broadcast on medium wave, you wont get quality anyway unless you were in close proximity to the ship. Even then, medium wave is limited in what parts of the audio spectrum it can carry.

What call letters did the UK use? I only know of the BBC 1,2,3, etc. I'm so used to our US stations, every station west of the Mississippi starts with K, everything east of the Mississippi starts with W. Thanks for this!

British radio - whether legal or not - never has used call letters - ham radio seems to have randomly-assigned letters by its governing body - don’t know how it works - but local radio stations - the BBC ones tended to be BBC Radio (county name or city it serves), whereas most commercial stations usually are identified by the river that flows through the area - although how legal stations like Radio Mercury and Invicta got their names, I don’t know!
