Kyle,

Radio stations usually use a transmitter to broadcast - wannabe pirates use
a webstream which has nothing to do with radio!

Some wannabees even use more powerful transmitters than yours.

Here's Magic and Energy FM in Ireland.

Their target area is Belfast, N. Ireland, around 65 miles away. The
sheep in between are just a bonus.

With their directional array they also have listeners in parts of
Scotland!

Check out their picture links.
