| Description |
English: In 1926, WJAZ in Chicago, Illinois was accused of being a "pirate" radio station because it had begun transmitting on an unassigned frequency of its own choosing. On February 5, 1926, while litigation with the U.S. government was ongoing, the station broadcast the operetta "The Pirate". For publicity, the engineering staff was photographed wearing pirate outfits in the transmitter room.
Original caption: "THE CREW OF A 'PIRATE STATION' IN ACTION: Undaunted by the disciplinary action of Uncle Sam in bringing suit against WJAZ on the ground that it has been pirating wave-lengths other than those assigned to it, the outlaw Chicago station recently--and appropriately--broadcast the operetta 'The Pirate'" |
