About Prometheus

Our Pirate Past

Our pirate days are through. Prometheus Radio Project does not operate any pirate radio stations, nor does it assist in setting up pirate radio stations. These pieces that we wrote years ago are included to show just how simple the technology is for setting up a basic radio station. Besides, it was the pirates and their civil disobedience broadcasts that brought the low-power radio issue to the forefront. The barriers to setting up a radio station have always been legal and political, rather than technical.
