       It looks	like this pirate station has been operating on 1616
       KHz  for	at least a year	now.  The "Free	Radio Focus" column
       of Popular  Communications  magazine  for  July	1983  makes
       reference to this station:


	     " ... The first bit of information	 this  month  comes
	    from my cousin, Bob	Kratzer	in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
	    Bob	Reports	hearing	KPRC in	New  York  sporadically	 on
	    Sundays  on	 1616 KHz between 0600 and 0800	GMT.  Their
	    programming	is a mix of editorials,	 phone	calls  from
	    listeners,	and assorted music.  One November 3 [1982],
	    they discussed the New York	elections, but had a slight
	    problem  with  their  phone	 line,	which was telephone
	    number  (212)799-9906.   On	 December  31  [1983],	the
	    highlight  of the night was	someone	calling	to complain
	    that KPRC was RFI'ing a  neighbor's	 stereo	 ...  thank
	    goodness  the call was only	a prank!  Their	address	is:
	    P. O. Box 747, Exeter, NH 03833 ..."


       This column is  a  regular  monthly  feature  in	 Pop  Comm.
       Starting	 with  the  October 1983 issue,	the column has been
       renamed "Pirates	Den", and been given a new editor.
