Agentschap Telecom (equivalent to Ofcom here) has increased fines against radio pirates to €45 000 and is putting on more inspectors. They claim that that these stations are becoming numerous in the more rural areas near DE and are using very strong transmitters, causing risks to aviation comms (as it is just above Band II where FM radio is broadcast). I wonder what music they broadcast? The Dutch text mentions “party pirates” so it sounds like it is linked to the dance music scene?
jammer, het is te ver weg deze piraten te horen van Engeland (en ook geen sporadische E in wintermaanden) hebben ze toch websites?

This is the communications ministry website, but they do not have this translated into English. its pretty much the same stuff ofcom say this side of the North Sea though..

I worked out the first bit as
Magdalena, je weg is nummer een
Magdalena, doe laat me niet alleen
Magdalena, ik houden zo van jou
Magdalena, ik ? je ? mijn trouw
but am unsure if the chap is already married to Magdalena (just like the mouse in Amsterdam), or she is een meisje “on the side”. Other songs contain high speed yodelling, and even one about preferring the old style outside WC (the loo) which even in a maritime nation is verging on masochism. Now you will understand why younger folk prefer trance which is curiously always sung in English (though often with a Dutch accent)
