Radio Highway Pirates

Radio Highway Pirates is a Dutch pirate radio station that operates illegally, broadcasting without a license. These types of stations are part of a broader pirate radio culture in the Netherlands, often playing regional music, folk, and schlager genres. Radio Highway Pirates is known for its use of high-power transmitters to reach a wide audience, despite frequent enforcement actions by the Dutch Radio Communications Agency (Agentschap Telecom). Pirate stations like this are typically run by enthusiasts and are popular in rural areas. Their activities, however, are subject to fines and equipment seizures by authorities.
