STUDENT PIRATE RADIO - DEAL WITH IT. Pranky students at USyd set up an ILLEGAL broadcast to report the events of COMMEM DAY, which was basically a day where students did silly stunts and ended up on the news, similar to Prosh, Farm Week or Green Week (without going into detail) Pirate radio is usually built from scratch, and broadcasts for a short period of time. Although the pirate-y-ness of this broadcast was in the spirit of Commem Day pranks, students frequently had to resort to pirate radio for serious political topics because they had no legal avenue to express themselves. That will all change in the 70s...stay tuned for more on STUDENT RADIO HISTORY!
