Having been very loosely associated with some pirate FM in San Diego years ago, my experience was that they created no interference for other operating stations. From wikipedia: "After the FCC complied with the provisions of the Radio Broadcasting Act of 2000 by commissioning the MITRE Report to test if there was significant interference from LPFM stations on the full-power stations, the study showed that the interference of LPFM is minimal and would not have a significant effect on other stations." This is all about the FCC acting as guard dog for 99% spam spewing stations. The power limits and operating conditions for low power FM should be relaxed, to allow the radio spectrum to be utilized by the citizenry.
