A British pirate radio operator is uncovered and fined
It didn’t take British broadcast regulator OFCOM long to find the operator of “Unknown FM,” a station broadcasting illegally and also interfering with the satellite TV signals of BBC1 & BBC2. The complaints came from the town of Chingford, and authorities subsequently raided the home of Paul Hampshire, finding him as the DJ of his illegal station, reports the Guardian newspaper. Hampshire pleaded guilty to violating sections 36 and 37 of the U.K.’s Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006. His broadcast equipment was confiscated.OFCOM released a statement, saying, “ In the past six months we’ve received several hundred complaints relating to pirate radio. The vast majority of these come from consumers, who complain about illegal broadcasts drowning out legitimate stations.”
