I'm sure the USA would be happy to dedicate one cruise missle to the destruction of this station. There is nothing much easier to find than an FM radio station, OK, maybe an AM station. I mean two freepers could pinpoint the thing with $100 marine radio direction finders. I guess political philosophy isn't the only subject these idiots failed.
