Copenhagen pirate station on air for three weeks

Since Thursday 14 December, a pirate radio station has been operating on 101.8 MHz from Ungdomshuset (literally “the Youth House”) in Copenhagen. Ungdomshuset is a rendezvous for various left-wing political and social initiatives, concerts and festivals, permanently occupied by activists, and a de facto “no go area” for the police. Consequently, the station has not been raided.
The pirate station has used various names since its started, but appears to have settled on Pirat Radio 69. It also streams on the Internet, and a station in Amsterdam - Radio Rietveld at the Stedelijk Museum - has started relaying it at weekends on 105.6 MHz.
