I've always liked that Mark Kurlansky like to frequenty quote the fine language of those great writers that preceeded him.
"The towns peter out into flat rusty-brown lava fields, scattered shacks surrounded by wire fencing, stockfish drying on washing-lines and a few white hens."
From Letters from Iceland by W.H. Auden & Louis MacNeice, 1967
more recently quoted by Kurlansy in the book "Cod."

Hi Jose,
I was researching pirate radio for a fiction project i've got in my head and I found your very informative blog on the subject. Kudos. Sorry about posting on this blog as opposed to the other, but it didn't appear to be recently updated, and I didn't know if blogspot would alert you to new comments on it.
The characters in my story use a pirate radio broadcast to get their band's music on the airwaves, intentionally and illegally overriding the signal of on of the main local broadcasters for as long as it takes to play a song or two.
A few years ago I had read something on the internet about a group of electrical engineering students who made a pirate radio broadcast using a nearby river as an antenna. Now my memory might be at fault, but if that's what they did I'd like to use a similar device in my plot.
I figure with your backgroud and interests, you might have heard of this little escapade. Even if I hallucinated or simply misinterpreted the material I read and such a thing is impossible, would you consider giving me a little technical advice on the subject from time to time to help with the project?
It'd be highly appreciated.
Regards,
David Chege
