There's no rule preventing ex-pirates from getting full-power licenses
(other than the usual "character qualifications"), just LPFM licenses.
Ed Perry at WATD has a copy of the FCC cease-and-desist letter sent to
his father from when Ed was growing up in Natick and briefly operated
a pirate station.  (This was before Garabedian put 1060 on the air.)
