Britt Wadner was hired as an ad salesperson in 1959 for Skånes Radio Mercur, the first commercial "pirat" radio station in Sweden that Nils-Eric Svensson had started in December 1958. Nils-Eric Svensson left management and sold his interest to Britt Wadner in 1959. She changed the name to Radio Syd in 1962, the same year the Pirate Radio Act (also called "Lex Radio Nord") was introduced in Sweden, which banned ownership of radio transmitters and also prohibited broadcasts from international waters if they disrupted Swedish Radio. She purchased the boat Cheeta I from the Danish Radio Mercur, and continued broadcasting violating the new law. Radio Syd continued broadcasting until 1966.[1][2]
In 1966, she moved to Gambia, where she was involved in radio and tourism and was also allowed to broadcast from land.[3]
Imprisonmentedit
Wadner was sentenced three times for violation of the law, the last time being given three months in prison. The sentence was served at the Hinseberg women's prison.[4][5]
