The official EMR website.

The Internet has many other sites about free radio stations. We thought that as you are obviously interested in us, then you might want to have a look at these other places too. Also, on this page are a few other pictures you might be interested in.


British Landbased Pirate Radio of the 70's and 80's by Steve Silby. This site features EMR's "final" broadcast and a few other inaccuracies! Good stuff about the golden era of 48 and 41metre broadcasters!

Here's another early EMR QSL on Manfred Hüppelshäuser's German website.

These days EMR  isn't just "for Europe", as this Japanese discussion forum proves

Will Phillips has quite a collection of QSL cards on his website, and here are his from us

The Pirate's Cove has loads of audio clips of offshore radio stations, including some notable moments during RNI's history.

FRSH - the Free Radio Service Holland have helped us over the years, thanks guys!

The DX archive from Gary Hogg, Ian Biggar, Steve Marshall and friends. Check out the "History of European Short Wave Free Radio" section

Alfa-lima website - loads of stuff here from the Dutch pirate. There's a comprehensive radio station contacts list (including EMR), technical instructions (tut, tut), and a massive pirates forum.


And those of you who think free radio stations are bad, just remember, if it wasn't for the classic "pirate" stations the dial might be a lot quieter than it is today. To prove a point, here's a couple of ex-pirates now providing a legitimate service to listeners in London: Radio Jackie and Kiss 100. Talking of Radio Jackie, this is what the station looked like in 1980...
Radio Jackie's transmitter site, broadcasting taped programmes on 227m 1332kHz in Easter 1980.

 Essential broadcasting equipment included a Holsten Pils beer crate!
 

 And this is Radio Jackie's studio as it was in Easter 1980, in a garden shed!


Don't forget, you can take a closer and more detailed look by clicking on the pictures.

And finally, shouldn't this signpost just off the A1 in Nottinghamshire actually mention the fact that several pirate stations of the 1970's and early 1980's used Norwell in Newark to receive sack-loads of listeners letters?
