[BC] A Pirate Loop Hole?

[RadioPower Webmaster]

Hi Paul,

no I have not heard of radio Caroline. Do tell?

I was thinking more along the lines of a super high output AM transmission
transmitted in the shipping lanes of the East Coast. The ship could travel
from north to south and back again transmitting the signal well past 200
miles with the proper gear... it would be most useful for talk radio and
indie music that cannot find a "home" in commercial FCC land base radio
because of various "regulations".
