Ofcom enforcement action

Local London reports Ofcom officers took action against a pirate radio
station in Sutton

Mike Murphy-Pyle, Chief Reporter, reports that a pirate radio station
based from a suburban terrace in Morley Road, Stonecot was shut down
in a raid Tuesday morning, March 18.

The story says they found a PC hooked up to tool called a link
transmitter that allowed users to convert an internet signal into a
radio signal. The person who set up the system was using the kit to
broadcast FM radio via a link to an aerial on the top of Chaucer House
in Central Sutton. It is believed the person who set up the system was
charging DJs to let them broadcast via it.

No-one was arrested.
