Leaving aside why you want to know who to report pirate radio stations to the answers are 1, the police - it is a criminal offence. Or 2, Ofcom the communications industry's regulator. If you click on this link you should find the address that you want: http://www.ofcom.org.uk/radiocomms/ifi/enforcement/ilb/#content

Hope this helps...

Good luck with all of it.  I don't mean to sound negative, especially as I think that reporting crime is a very sensible and honourable thing to do, but I'm not sure it'll solve the problem long term.  The crowd may find something else to do.  I hope not and that your son works out for himself pretty quickly that these "friends" are not good for him.  Good luck!

Zadoc - it's illegal and often interferes with perfectly legitimate broadcasting.  It is also often used to further other illegal activities.  That's MY problem with it.  I'm not exactly a campaigner on the matter, but since it's mentioned, I shall say why I disagree. 

Good luck Ms Hale :-) I'm sure it'll all be fine!
