Radio operator Mike Spenser on Pirate Radio 603AM is giving up.
Temporarily, at least.

Spenser is closing his transmissions on medium wave 603 kHz, transmissions
said
to be illegal by license owner Roy Sandgren.

"I'm going to England for ten days to negotiate a great contract," Spenser
says to the local newspaper Ålandstidningen.

If Spenser can resume his transmissions later on is doubtful. The local
governmenton the Finnish island of Åland has ruled that Mr Sandgren's
licens is suspended for the next six months. That is not deterring Mike
Spenser.

"I have the right to lodge a protest."

Local administrator Veronica Johansson sighs.

"If they would just calm down a little," she says to Ålandstidningen.
