> Fun fact: Unlicensed stations began streaming jungle music from onboard ships off the coast of Britain, hence the expression "pirate radios."

Didn't pirate radio broadcast from boats predate Jungle by about 20 years?

It's weird things like using "streaming" instead of "broadcasting", let alone the fact by the time Jungle was invented pirate radio was no longer happening on the seas but had moved to having the "studio" in one high rise block of flats with a point to point link to the actual broadcast site on another, coupled with the general structure and other fantasies makes me question how much of this was LLM generated. I couldn't continue reading after a while.

Hi there. Author here. Thanks for the heads up. I would never even consider using LLMs for this, this is just a subject that was always interesting to me so I thought it would be a good idea to write some of it down. Some of these mentions look like shortcomings of English not being my first language; I'll try to review it and change the words or terms that you suggested.
