Both - though I wouldn't waste a good dipole.

I presume you mean 
the pirate transmissions should be eliminated Ian, not 
the broadcasters themselves? Or do you take an even harder line than we 
thought - string 'em from the nearest dipole?!

  The term "Pirate radio" is about as definitive as "Processed 
  Meat" or "Chemicals"!
They're media umbrella terms that are so broad as to 
  be effectively useless in accurate communication.
  
  
    We have had the Offshore Pirates - Radio 
    Caroline, Radio London and many others - who were killed of by the totally 
    political and artificial Marine Offences Act - which resulted in Radio 1 - 
    accepted as long as Radio 1 is your kind of thing.
    We have the rise to fame of Radio Jackie 
    which proved that a formula outside the existing BBC and IBA structure was 
    viable - and brought about another change in Law - generally 
welcomed.
    We have the crossover from Pirate to 
    Community Radio of just a few - I make it a total of three - again - 
    welcomed.
    There are the social pirates who are doing 
    a good job and who as such are not generally hassled by authority but who 
    can't afford the process to legitimacy - should be encouraged to toe the 
    line
    There are the numerous illegal 
    broadcasters sending out Drum 'n' Bass and Hip Hop and the like which don't 
    have the slightest intention of becoming legal - should be eliminated in my 
    view.
