	Pirate radio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The English language evening broadcasts from Radio Luxembourg were intentionally beamed toward the British Isles by Luxembourg licensed transmitters, while the intended audience in the United Kingdom originally listened to their radio sets by permission of a Wireless License issued by the British General Post Office (GPO).
		While Mexico issued radio station XERF with a license to broadcast, the power of its 250,000 watts transmitter was far greater than the maximum of 50,000 watts authorized for commercial use by the government of the United States of America.
		Consequently, XERF and many other radio stations in Mexico which sold their broadcasting time to sponsors of English-language commercial and religious programs, were labeled as "border blasters", but not "pirate radio stations", even though the content of many of their programs were in violation of US law.

	Audio Ideas Guide: High End Audio Articles and Columns - Analog Radio's Swan Song
		Radio was born, if only as a method of communication that consisted of dots and dashes.
		Before super regeneration, a local radio station was restricted to a small geographic audience, and the format had practical limits which made it a nighttime hobby for the few listeners that were starting to embrace the format.
		High sensitivity such as this is beyond the capabilities of most FM radios in domestic use, which lack the sensitivity and the ability to discriminate between signals suficiently to supply a clean signal for rebroadcast.

	trsc.com : Radio Swan & Radio Americas
		Swan Radio, as it became known, regularly called Castro and his lieutenants "pigs with beards" and accused Castro’s brother, Raul, of being a "homosexual with effeminate friends." In rebuttal, Havana could only call Swan Radio, "a cage of hysterical parrots."
		Swan Radio also broadcasted coded messages prior to the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 but, apparently, interrupting Tito Puente songs with messages like, "Look well into the rainbow...The fish will rise very soon...Chico is in the house, visit him" aroused more than just casual suspicion.
		After the assault failed, Swan Radio was phased out and the island went back to weather reporting.

		It is now generally accepted that both radio stations failed for lack of credibility, because their content and language were hostile and misleading.
		Radio Marti is not a traditional international radio broadcasting service, but an "intercultural communication system," designed to compete as a "domestic" Cuban radio station.
		As such, Radio Marti had to be accepted not only as a consistent, reliable, and authoritative source of news, but also as a transmitter of values, customs, and patterns of behavior with which the Cuban listeners could identify themselves.

		He told Variety Wilson had done significant work on "Radio Golf" while it was at the Taper, and Leon and the cast had even incorporated major script changes during the final week of the run.
		The completion of such a massive undertaking -- unequaled in scope in American drama -- is in itself an artistic and sentimental incentive to bring "Radio Golf" to Broadway as a valedictory celebration.
