[cma-l] Digest, Vol 78, Issue 69

Interesting - but the antennas are, in my experience:* - too close together to either match or propagate correctly* - not professionally matched* - not optimally element spaced* - VERY untidily cabled - it does matter!
No Nick - UK illegal broadcasters aren't mobile - they couldn't possible get the coverage - and they generally use 300 to 500 W from a cheap hand-built transmitter with poor bandwidth control - and a tatty antenna which is blatantly obvious to those of us in the know.

Ah, but Ofcom has the latest stealth technology 
for chasing pirates through the streets and across the hills...

  I think it falls 
  under the category of scaremongering James.
   
  By the way, when a 
  Pirate Station is being ‘chased’ … how do they nail them down if they are on 
  the move ?    I wasn’t joking, some do broadcast out of the 
  back of Vans. Also, what sort of power is the average Pirate Station pumping 
  out ?     25 watts ?  100 watts ?   1000 
  watts ?
