With all due respect to SCR this article is not correct in stating they were the first pirate radio in Sheffield. Sheffield Peace Radio was launched in December 1983 at the time of the national conference of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmement (CND), held in Sheffield that year. Sheffield Peace Radio continued broadcasts, at weekends only, until it was raided by the DTI's Radio Investigation Service in March 1984. Four of the organisers were subsequently prosecuted under the Wireless Telegraphy Act and each fined £75. More on this, and the early land-based pirate radio stations can be found in "Rebel Radio" by John Hind and Stephen Mosco (1985).
