MC Pally Pal will be spinning the wheels of polycarbonate later tonight when the Arrrgh takes to the high airwaves, around about 9 PM CST with signal test, full program commencing around 10 PM.
In related news, apparently some Dutch pirates tried to do a weekend-long broadcast with 11 KILOWATTS of power (more than 100x what the arrrgh uses), but got busted by German and Dutch authorities. There's news on NL IMC, but it's in Dutch, which nobody here can read:

There's a brief English account of the story going around the Microradio Network:

I haven't seen any English news sources yet, but this weekend a
combination of pirates in the Twente area in the Eastern Netherlands
went on air as "Koning Keizer Admiraal" with a +100 meter antenna and an
11 Kw transmitter. Listener's reports came in from as far as Denmark and
Italy. The transmission, intended to last over the weekend, was stopped
short today by the combined Dutch and German police and Telecom
authorities. Gear was confiscated and the Germans (the antenna was on
German soil) laid on a provisional fine of 40,000 Euros. Apparently KKA
does not intend to return. Said one of the participants, "It's nice to
be on air but this is just too much money." It seems tonight there'll
be a party on the radio's terrain nonetheless and perhaps to raise money
towards the fine.
