Unlicensed broadcasters use microwave linksA BBC News report highlights how unlicenced broadcasters have switched to using Microwaves for their links instead of frequencies in Band 1 (50-68 MHz). Steve the manager of Ice Cold FM, is quoted as saying "I would say 90% of pirates don't use Band 1 links any more. We all use microwave links that are completely interference free," The report says that Ofcom shut down 838 illegal transmitters last year, however, as there are only about 150 unlicensed broadcasters in the UK, the figure quoted may well refer to the use of illegal transmitting equipment for two-way communication purposes and devices such as mobile phone jammers and GPS signal repeaters.
