Unfortunately it seems that most london pirates are in it for the ego trip
and/or a lot are in some way related to organised crime (allegedly). They
all transmit the same sort of urban **** which is already available on a
number of other legit stations already such as Choice FM, KISS, 1Xtra etc.

So we are talking Hip-hop. Each to their own I suppose. But, how
many outlets does a city need for a "music" form where every "song"
sounds the same?

Imagine all those London Towers with legitimate FM transmitters atop!

Imagine all the interference to TV and radio sets for the people living
underneath them.

Well there shouldn't be interference if the job is done properly. I
guess that would be asking a lot.

The performance specifications in the UK are very high on the emissions
from the TX equipment, but the receiver performance is where the problem
lies.

A lot of them can't handle the large signals found near TX sites...
