89.3 pirate goes ID-crazy

["Bob Nelson...WMWM" <bobonradio@yahoo.com>]

As usual the Friday night 89.3 pirate in Beverly is
back on as I type this (3:50 am)
and this time they're mixing metal/alternative with
tapes of legal IDs (really!) from stations like WWWE,
WOKQ, WBRK, WBIM, WFLZ, WLUP, and more. As if they
weren't already breaking FCC rules by being on, their
airing of all the IDs is also illegal, I'd think. Of
course they do have their own "ID" as well, "89.3
Tickle Spider Radio".

By the way, if a pirate were to go on and sound as
professional as possible, I wonder if they'd fool
the listening public into thinking they were a
real, licensed station. If a pirate were to give
fake call letters, play PSAs or ads, etc., they
just might make people think they're "a new station".
The late Radio Free Vermont in Rutland was kind of
like that; they had professional-sounding liners
("your hometown radio station-- Radio Free
Vermont, 96.5") and ran PSAs and maybe even ads
as well....
