 ===== Introduction =====
+Hacking is fun. Hardware and software tinkering in common even more! That's what the **Pirate Radio** is about. Combining a some parts with a few lines of codes and off you go to be your own radio station.
+Basically the Pirate Radio is not too much of magic as it may seem at a first glance. A Raspberry Pi, a few common electronic tinker parts and a software called PiFM, enable you to air whatever content you would like to over radio waves. Low in budget, short time in realization, wast effect(s).
+May be [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8r-tXRLazs|Video Killed The Radio Star]], however the Pirate Radio is a hackers' answer, on how to reanimate the Radio culture!
 <note important>Please note, some frequencies are reserved for specific services **only**. Do not overmodule these services with the help of the Pirate Radio. Consider [4].</note>
