by Robert B. Cooper (K6EDX / ZL4AAA)
Far North Cablevision Ltd., Mangonui, New Zealand — 2006
ISBN: 0-9777980-0-3 / 978-0977798025
Hardcover, First Printing, Signed & Inscribed by Author
This is a rare, first edition hardcover of Television’s Pirates: Hiding Behind Your Picture Tube — Robert B. Cooper’s exhaustive 928-page deep dive into the hidden world of television’s underground innovators, satellite hackers, and broadcast “pirates.”
Privately published through Cooper’s own company, Far North Cablevision Ltd., this title was never distributed through mainstream bookstores, making genuine copies scarce.
Condition: Near Mint / Fine. Crisp, clean pages; tight binding; sharp corners. Includes original dust jacket in excellent condition. Appears unread or lightly handled.
Signature: Signed and inscribed by the author on the title page — a playful nod to the famous “What’s the frequency, Kenneth?” moment — dated May 2006.
A must-have for collectors of broadcasting history, ham radio, pirate TV, or underground media. Exceptionally difficult to find in this condition, and even more so signed.
