China to crackdown on unauthorised radio broadcasts<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reportedly, in a national campaign aided by more than 30,000 airwave monitors, in over past six months, more than 500 sets of equipment for making unauthorised radio broadcasts were seized in China.[…]<\/p>\n

\u201cThe broadcast power of pirate radio stations can be 2,500 to 5,000 watts, which is several hundred of times that of commercial radio, and the signal can be received 300 km away,\u201d the China Daily reported citing the department as saying. Pirate radios may also pose a threat to communication between aircraft pilots and ground controllers as their frequency band neighbours that of flight navigation signals and can create interference, the department said.
\nUnder Chinese law, the unauthorised use of radio frequency bands can attract up to seven years in prison.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
