Recently I got a big
envelope with newspapercuts, booklets, photos and many more about
the history of offshore radio and commercial radio as well as
AFN/AFRTS radio from one of the readers from the Hans Knot
International Report from England, Brian Goolding.
Many of the material is bringing back a lot of memories but some
of it is very rare and unique as well as totaly unknown to me. For
instant the 'WRNC Dial Spot news' which, I think, is a leaflet
from 1969. It brings information of interesting radio programmes
to be received in those days in Western Europe. Programs from
station(s) from international waters, with Veronica as example,
were not included, because of their location. Of course the editor
of this leaflet thought about the problems he could get with the
British Authorities when he would publish the programs on offshore
radio in those days. The Marine Offences Act would certainly
count if he had published more about offshore radio. The mentioned
leaflet was published by the WRNC team with a BCM called Radio
News in London WC1. My question is who knows more about this
publication and if more than one issue was published. As always
answers and your own memories may go to
