Amphetamine Radio is a pirate radio station that first appeared in the summer of 2015. It is normally heard on 6925 USB but has been heard on "offset" frequencies 6923 and 6924.7 in addition to 6930, 6950 and 6955 kHz. USB is normally used, however Amphetamine Radio has transmitted broadcasts in AM mode, referring to it as "Amphetamine Modulation".

Amphetamine Radio often transmits SSTV images throughout their broadcasts and appears to be one of the most prolific transmitters of SSTV. Some of their broadcasts consist entirely of SSTV images. SSTV is usually transmitted in Scottie 1 mode. In addition to voice IDs, MCW (modulated CW) IDs are usually transmitted, often either before or after SSTV frames are sent. Amphetamine Radio's SSTV content often consists of drug or sexually themed images, with a focus on 1940s and 1950s "pin-up" style erotica. Amphetamine Radio often adds the tagline "Pin-Up Pirate Radio" or "High Speed Pirate Radio" to their identification and has claimed to be "the most tweaked out station on the 43 meter band".

Amphetamine Radio usually signs off with with the Star Spangled Banner followed by a 1000Hz tone burst.
