Of course, ordinary policemen tend to take unkindly to eating swans directly from the bank of the Thames and other such blue-blooded affectations endemic within the City.

Actually it’s quite small, about a square mile compared to the fifteen thousand or so square miles making up Greater London.
Technology@lemmy.world•[US] House passes bill requiring AM radio in all new cars sold nationwidebymobyduck648@lemmy.worldEnglish
4 daysThe UK used to have powerful AM stations which operated from ships outside of territorial waters, they’re long gone except for Caroline which still exists (they even have their ship still) but as a legal station.
It’s kind of challenging to do it on the land as a clandestine pirate since physics demands a large (as in hundreds of feet) aerial to radiate anything decent as well as usually a large set of radials for the aerial to work against. It’s a more annoying version of the same problem amateur radio people have when using the 160 metre band. Of course it can be done, and people did it with much worse tech than what we have now, but it’s not something to do at high power lightly. The voltage at the end of an AM/MW transmitter aerial is often pretty bracing for example.
