Subject: DEATH OF A PIR8 STATION


     Well, how do I say this, but the pirate radio station I started--____
RADIO--has been killed.

"How might you ask?" 
Well, I wrote this to tell you, and to give you a word of warning. 
EGO...ego killed my station. Took it to the slaughtering house and
butchered it like a lil' veal (BTW, I don't like veal for cruelty reasons).
     A few members of it were blabing so much...for their own status and
name. I didn't think it could be them, but I guess you really don't see
someone's ture character untill a certain time. Still coo wit him and all,
but...he did kill the station.
     We (my friend and I, the original two) had people comming up to us and
asking us all about it; "Can we/I join?" "What time?" "Where at?" "Can I
watch?" "Can you play this?"...and the list goes on.
     "What was to be done?" It was to stop. Immediatly! I mean, I halted
this project NOW! The saddest part was, we were ordering a new TX
[transmitter]--didn't even get the new GEAR YET...and we died...DAMN!
     Do you know WHY I started pirate radio? A very simple reason
actually... I just felt like playin what I WANTED and what was not played
here--hick ville--maybe a lil hip hop and rave ya know? If I can, I would
do some stuff for the community...strikes, activist, WHATEVER!!! I was even
willing to play something by a gay rights activist or PETA persons at the
risk of what other people thought about me...I didn't care! I know the gays
are dissed on all the time around here and there is a HUGE prejudace aginst
them...hey, I'm secure about my sexuality (straight if any y'all ladies out
there were wonderin'...)...why the fuk do people CARE!!!
     Well, I have put well over 500 hours into this project...THANKFULLY,
not a lotta money...this is why I warn all y'all out there!!! Please, KNOW
yoour crew! I prolly only invested and lost about 40-60 billz...but it's
the time that I lost I am really concerned with.
     Please! Anyone...someone... please, put this up or show it to someone
who you know who is doing pirate radio, or is thinking about it. Your web
site, whatever? Get it out that ego is the number one killer of stations...
even when you think no one in your crew had it...your friends...
     This is comin' from someone who actually got it...you loose a lot of
time and money on this. It will almost make you want to just LEAVE the free
radio community, but that means you lost... What ever you do, DONT'T LEAVE
and WATCH OUT!
     How do you get out of this kinda of situation if you think it's
happening to you...sadly and very sorry to say, I am not really sure...but
solve it quickly, do not let this hang on you...
     So know this, a true pirate, NEVER, never dies...maybe, just maybe,
some unnamed person will rise once again, in an unknown time, to start over...

-Unnamed Pirate Radio Op

[NOTE, I am now erasing ALL existance of my station I can...security will
be TIGHT for now on. It's gunna be hard loosing this identity...]

dammit...that's all I can really say...
