Pirate radio in Belgium

A country which is often overlooked or treated as an afterthought/footnote in articles/books about pirate radio is Belgium despite having a rich history of both Offshore and Landbased stations.

About 10 years ago there was also a short-lived pirate station called 'Paradise FM' which apparently came from Mount Rigi on the Belgian side of the Belgium/Germany border. It was on 1440 AM (after the 'Great 208' had fallen silent) and claimed to be in AM stereo.
if it ain't broke, keep tweaking
