Hans Knot's International Radio Report - September 2006 (1)
Welcome
back to the Knot Report and thanks for all the mail.
Remember the question in last issue about Caroline in 1968 and the
letters which I found in the
Carl Mitchell Archive about renting flats in Spain? Well I
mentioned that probably the guy called Jim could be Jimmy Houlihan. And
I was right as Andy Archer
came with the next: "I think you are right about Jim being Houlihan,
although he was known as "Jimmy" so it could be someone else but most
likely to be Houlihan. I can't think of any other Jims in the Caroline
organisation at the time. I know Jimmy was involved in the property
business. For a while he was the minder for a guy called Peter Rachman
who was a notorious London landowner. Rachman had hundreds of flats
which he used to let out mostly to immigrants: Jimmy had connections in
Spain, in fact he retired there a few years ago where he still lives.
You must remember back in 1968, Caroline was desperate for money and
they were prepared to try anything to get more money coming in. The
revenue from the "plug" records didn't amount to very much money and
none of the advertising on the station was being paid for. I didn't know
about the Spanish flats, or possibly can't remember such a project. Nan
Richardson was a very nice person. I should imagine that both she and
Don (The Chief engineer on the Mi Amigo) are both dead. I saw Don very
briefly in 1969 on the island of Guernsey, he was working in an
amusement arcade looking after the gambling machines. I've been
searching death records, but no luck as yet. Hope I have been of some
help, Best as ever, Andy."
After
reading Andy’s answer I asked him if it was true that Jimmy was working
for Rachman, as this person died already in 1962 and if Jimmy was also
working on the Mi Amigo in 1973? Here’s what Andy wrote: ‘Jimmy was in
London from the late 1950s. He worked for Rachman for a year or two. He
was on the Mi Amigo really keeping an eye on things for Ronan. Ronan
didn’t trust Gerard van Dam so he wanted to know what was going on.
Jimmy enjoyed being on the ship. He did a lot of work out there
including helping to fit the new mast. Jimmy was also David McWilliam's
manager, hence all of the advertisements for the film Gold which
included some of McWilliams's music.
Jimmy Houlihan (Archive Hans Knot)
Another answer to the question came in from Berlin and
Dennis King: ‘Hi Hans,
how are you? I read your report and saw your question regarding Jim
Houlihan. Jim was some kind of business-associate of Ronan, he was
managing the Irish singer-songwriter David McWilliams (‘Gold’) and also
is said to be connected to the ‘Who’ in some way. A very nice guy, even
though he was very big and impressive. He came to the ship to help after
the mutiny-business. Jim was a very helpful person with incredible
connections, when I was involved with a
Danish
teeny-band in the late seventies he set up photo-shoots with magazines
in London, helped us with promo-concerts etc. etc. So most definitely
not the ‘heavy’ or bodyguard many people suspect. I hope you and the
wife are OK, I am fine! Dennis.’ Scanning the photograph with Jimmy
Houlihan on it, I found another one which gave some questions. Who were
next to Alan Clark, Paul Dubois, Andy Archer, Graham Gill and Captain
van der Kamp the others featured on this photo taken February 1973?
I sent Andy the photo by e mail and within 5 minutes the question was
answered: ‘Alan Clark, AA, Mike Storm, Leon Keezer, Graham Gill, Paul
Dubois, I can't remember the girls name, she worked in the office, Henk
(an engineer), Henk's wife and van der Kamp. The two people at the back
are a strange couple called
Koller and Otten.’
Thanks
Andy, yes Koller and Otten were known for several businesses in that
period. For a period they ran the Europop Magazine as well as the
Europop discotheque and RNI Mobiele Discotheek, But they had not asked
permission to use the name and made some money out of it.
Sticker RNI Discotheque which was organised by Koller and Otten for a
small period (Archive Hans Knot)
They tried to interfere with Caroline too and had an illegal landbased
pirate station on 270 metres, I think on April 30th 1973. Also the ran a
small hotel in Amsterdam. The photo was also sent to Leendert
Vingerling, the tender king in Offshore Radio World in the eighties and
working for Radio Delmare in the seventies. He is one of the less people
still in contact with Gerard van Dam and sent him the photo too. Gerard
came back to the persons Koller and Otten: ‘I know Koller had the plans
to buy the rights to organise the Caroline Road show early 1973. I
thought that when he was willing to do this he first had to go out and
getting an idea what Radio Caroline was and also how the atmosphere was
on the radio ship. The girl on the right doesn’t ring a bell. I’m not
too good in names. Of course I recall Andy Archer and that mainly as he
worked on the
MEBO
II. Also I recognise captain Van der Kamp. He’s the one who went out to
the Mi Amigo late 1972 with a couple of other guys to do the mutiny. He
had a riffle with him and did tow the Mi Amigo into harbour of IJmuiden.
He was, following his words, promised 50.000 guilders by Meister and
Bollier (RNI) if he succeeded. As the ship had not entered official the
harbour and no papers were signed, it was also easy to leave again and
go for anchor off Noordwijk a few days later.
Leen himself met Koller (who once told he had been a deejay and another
time a technician aboard the MV Mi Amigo) on the MV Mi Amigo when they
both went out with a trip organised in 1973 by Rob Olthof (Foundation
for Media Communication).
Chicago and Koller (Photo: Leen Vingerling)
It was the same day I shared some e mails with Hans Hoogendoorn (Hans
ten Hoge on RNI) and asked what he remembered mentioning the names
‘Koller and Otten’. Hans came back with ‘I wasn’t on land so much and so
the names doesn’t ring a bell but I will forward your question to Pieter
Damave, who was a technician at the Naarden studio’s of Radio Noordzee
(The Dutch RNI). Pieter is reading the Knot International Radio Report
too and answered the next day: ‘Those two, Koller and Otten, tried to
show if they were part of the RNI team using the name ‘RNI’ falsely. By
the way I heard you were looking for Dick de Graaf. Well he’s living in
Spain and trading from there.’
Dick de Graaf was newsreader as well part of the live deejay team on the
MEBO II in the seventies. Later he lived in Delft and I had a regular
contact with him in the eighties and early nineties. At one stage he
told me to leave Holland for a job at one of the Dutch Caribbean isles.
We lost contact then.
Also I took a dive into my archive to find back the old issues of the
Pirate Radio News, which I published together with Jacob Kokje in the
seventies and in an edition of 1973 we wrote: ‘Again there are rumours
that 3 new radio stations will come on the air from a ship. First of all
there is Radio Europop. We think this is again a story of Mr. Otten and
Koller, which consists only of lies. They told that they will start with
a new station around May the first 1973. Also they say they have
chartered twenty different industries to finance the whole thing. They
needed an amount of 5 million Dutch guilders to start the station. The
costs of advertising, they say, will be very low. They had already
contacts with Radio Caroline. Otten told us that they offered the
Caroline organisation 2,5 million guilders to take the whole
organisation from the current running team. But, what must we believe
from those two guys.’
That was from 1973 and it was already in those days we didn’t believe a
thing what Koller and Otten told to us or any other journalist in
Holland. For instant in 1973 Otten told a journalist in Holland he
worked for Caroline in the sixties and that his cover name was ‘Tommy
Vance’. Well we all know now they were lunatics.
The last part, the story in the Pirate Radio News in 1973, I also e
mailed to Andy who wrote back: ‘They were certainly a very strange
couple. I do remember that they came along and offered money to take
over the Caroline organisation. Ronan was of course interested in anyone
who had money! What happened next I don't know. I assume that they were
all talking with no money otherwise Ronan would have certainly got his
hands on it - there was no one better at extracting money out of people
than Ronan! Andy’.
I also recalled an edition of their Magazine is on internet and you can
find it at:
www.mediapages.nl/index.php?module=photoshare&func=showimages&fid=50
So, if anyone else do remember more on that infamous couple Koller and
Otten, please let us know at
Hknot@home.nl
In last issue I showed a letter written by a certain Peter to Carl
Mitchell, mainly about his trip back from Holland to England as well as
some information about equipment to repair. I thought it must have been
Peter Chicago, who went out to the MEBO II for the first time in summer
1970. And it’s Andy Archer again telling me: ‘Hans, Peter Chicago lived
in Thornton Heath. It must have been him. Even remember his
handwriting.’ Robb Eden wrote in and told: ‘No doubt you've had a
million e-mails about this. Your mystery person has got to be Chicago -
coming from Thornton Heath & talking about Ampex. Sincere thanks, as
usual, for the Report.’
From a long time reader this answer: ‘I am almost certain that the
writer would have been Peter ‘Chicago’ Murtha as he lived in Thornton
Heath at the time. Lindsay Reid (aka
Michael Lindsay)’ Well good to see
you in the mailbox too Michael and feel free to share your own memories
too. Michael worked on RNI in 1970 too.
Paul Rusling, known from Caroline in 1973, Laser and many other projects
wrote in too: ‘I recognise the address (TORRIDGE ROAD in Thornton Heath)
as being Chicago's (or his parents I think). That would fit the text of
course. Many thanks for mentioning the programme on Offshore Music
Radio. There is a lot of Dutch music on the programme. Also a confession
that I wrote to Mariska Veres many times in 1969 and visited her parents
home - her father was very kind to that crazy young English boy!’
Thanks Paul and I also remember you met her at a later stage again? Well
she was it worth looking and dreaming of in those days!
Peter Chicago is reading the International Report too, but a pity he
never reflects on the report. Maybe Peter you can come in this time with
an email telling us about your first time going aboard a radio ship and
your experiences. As always all information, memories and news can be
sent to: Hknot@home.nl
Peter Chicago on the MEBO II 1970 (Archive Freewave Media Magazine)
August 23rd this e mail came in: ‘After 12 years of successful
broadcasting to Europe, we have reluctantly been forced to shutdown our
shortwave transmissions. This is due to action from the radio
authorities. In the meantime, we shall keep the Destiny stream and shows
on our website available so listeners can continue to hear our
programmes. Please keep checking this website for more updates over the
coming weeks. Thanks to all the shortwave listeners who have supported
us over the years. http://www.laserhothits.co.uk
The very unique SRE 2006 t-shirt, which was early August shown on a
photo featuring yours truly and in last issue Jack Curtiss from
Australia. has another person in that part of the world wearing it:
‘Hello Hans - yes, I did receive that T-shirt from Rick Randall /
Crandall and very happy to get it, too. My family is a bit bemused by it
all, they don't quite understand what it means to me! Many thanks again
to Rick. Colin Nichol.’
Next Jon from the Pirate Hall of Fame: ‘Hi Hans, Thanks for the latest
radio report. Very interesting, as ever, and thanks too for the very
nice plug for The Pirate Radio Hall of Fame. The next site update should
interest you. There will be a report (with photos) of the conversion of
the Comet from being a retired lightship to Radio Scotland in St.Peter
Port harbour, Guernsey, in 1965. It should all be up on the web-site by
this time next week. (end of August). I was surprised to see Alan
Milewczyk comment about Kilroy ‘leaving the Mi Amigo’ on 14th August
1967. I don't think Kilroy was ever on the ship. My research (see
http://www.offshoreradio.co.uk/djsk.htm#kilroy) shows that his
programmes were recorded on land.’
I have another question: what followed Johnnie Walker and Robbie Dale's
famous show in the early hours of 15th August? A correspondent to my
web-site wrote: ’I’ve a tape of RWB opening Caroline on 15/8/67 during
which he thanks a Chris Anthony for playing the previous pre-recorded
music’. Would that be Spangles Muldoon by another name? all the best,
Jon www.offshoreradio.co.uk
Thanks Jon and indeed I recalls the thank you to Chris Anthony too. Who
knows more to fill in into the schedule?
On the same subject it’s Ian who wrote: ‘Regarding the schedule on
Caroline South into August 15th, from what I have been told and
listening to recordings, Walker and Dale continued until around 0200
when there was non stop music. Ross Brown took over at 0600 and thanked
Chris Anthony for the last hours. Assume this was Chris Cary spinning
his first programmes? As far as I know the day then went: 0900 Robbie
Dale 1200 Johnnie Walker 1500 Ross Brown 1800 Robbie Dale 2100 Johnnie
Walker 0000 Chris Anthony or was he now Spangles Muldoon?’
Thanks Ian and maybe Spangles, or Chris Cary which is his name, can
answer himself if he was the same as Chris Anthony and why he changed
names so quickly. Spangles is a regular reader of this report too.
Back to Ian: ‘If anybody is interested in the Caroline North schedules
around this time then Paul Graham has quite a comprehensive log of
these. I know he is a reader so he might like to fill in the gaps.’ Well
Ian hope Graham find the time to fill the gaps’.
Ian has more: ‘I was happy to help Robert at Guernsey with his
recordings. I am a great believer that recordings should be shared and
enjoyed and not hoarded by some elitists who like to tell people " oh
yes I have a recording of that but I don't do copies". The Offshore
Download Club is great in this respect and Chris Visser and Harm
Koenders are doing a brilliant job. Just to clarify Robert's note that I
did indeed work with the great Daffy Don in Ireland, but not so together
with Tony Allan. When I worked on Radio ERI in Cork Tony was on the
rival South Coast Radio, but we all used to meet up for a few jars. So I
did know Tony socially. Finally I am interested to know which were the
planned stations for the radioship Nannell or Mia Amigo in 1989. Walter
Zwart in his excellent memoirs stated that Radio 819 planned to jump
ship, however Germain Boi in an OEM interview suggests that Radio Mi
Amigo was to return. Can anybody clarify?
Cheers,` Ian.’
Thanks Ian for your contribution, hope any one can help with the answer
on your Nannell question. Here a photograph from the ill fated project.

Regular writer to the Hans Knot International Radio Report is Colin
Wilkins from Leeds who wrote this time: ‘Hi Hans, Many thanks for
another very interesting report for August. Well the
14th August 2006
has been and gone, I did record Keith Skues programme for the 14th
August. Regarding the BBC Radio York programme of Radio 270, I recorded
most of the day, but was rather disappointed in the music that they
played. I would have thought if they were remembering Radio 270, they
should have played the music that was played on the station, but they
failed to do this. They were playing today’s music, they even played a
track by Wil Young. Very disappointed. On Sunday the 13th August I
listened to the Internet radio station Radio Poplar Int, from 10 till 12
noon. They played all the rare 60's songs that were played on Radio
London/Caroline North and Radio 270. They also put together a special
show including the close downs of Radio London. Also the air-check where
Robbie Dale said he had just listened to the close down of Radio London
and to have one minutes silence. The programme continued to hear the
close down of Radio 270, and at midnight on Radio Caroline South and
Johnnie Walkers Fight For Freedom Speech including the music played. It
was most enjoyable to hear it all once again. And at 12 Noon they did a
Country Show dedicated to Don Allen, playing the songs that Daffy Don
played on Caroline North. I have in my collection the full day of Radio
Caroline North on the 14thAugust 1967 but only up till 6.40pm with Dee
Harrison, I would be interested to know if any one has recordings after
this time also Caroline North at midnight with Don Allen. Colin.’
So who has the recordings from Caroline North after 6.40 pm on August
14th 1967 and can help Colin. You can sent in the answer to my regular e
mail address
In last issue we mentioned the special programs from the North Sea on Mi
Amigo, the internet radio station. They have a second, non stop music
station, which can be heard at
http://www.miamigo-radio.nl
On our on line journal for media and music culture
www.soundscapes.info
also a lot of interesting stories on the media history can be read. This
including a lot on the history of RNI. I’m proud to announce that Anita
Pospiechil, publisher of the German Radio Journal has decided to open
the serie on RNI in German on her internet version of the Radio Journal,
which can be found at www.radiojournal.de

multi-coloured radio ship better known as Radio Northsea International
and later went on to join another well remembered offshore station –
Radio Atlantis; Kevin Turner whose long and varied career in radio, has
included Caroline in the 1980’s, as well as Radio Sovereign in the UK &

**********************************************************************
Remember we were talking about animals on the radio ships? I mentioned I
once heard that on the MV Fredericia was a captain who had his own
chickens aboard but didn’t know if that was true! Well at the end of
August an e mail came in from someone who worked on the ship and has the
answer: ‘Hi Hans, Just a note to say that your correspondent was correct
about there being chickens aboard the Caroline North ship. They lived in
a waterproofed timber and wire mesh cage in a sheltered area at the
stern of the ship. I am not sure if they enjoyed the rough weather, or
if it interfered with them laying fresh eggs for the captain's breakfast
table. Andy Cadier. (Martin Kayne)’
Really nice to know those little aspects. The most famous animal of
course is the bird in Rosco’s show on Caroline but who does remember
other animals on radio ships. Here’s a photo from the early sixties
which was given to me by someone about 15 years ago showing the studio
aboard the first radio ship from Veronica, the MV Borkum Riff. Indeed
showing a little cat!
The quality of the photo is not too good but you can see a poster at the
background showing Chubby Checker, so I think it must have been taken
either in 1963 or 1964. The technician by the way is
Hans van Velzen.
(Archive Hans Knot)
Next we go to the other side of the world and an e mail from a former
Caroline technician on the MV Mi Amigo in 1967,
Sheridon Street: ‘Dear
Hans, I have been sitting on a message received from a Radio Caroline
listener, rather than dump the message I thought that you may have a
place somewhere in your archives for it.’
Thanks for that Sheridon and here is the message received by Sheridan
after someone saw his internet pages: ‘Hi Sheridan. My name is Tony
Magon VK2IC and am originally from Invercargill, New Zealand. I have
been a ham operator since 1966 - nearly 40 years. Have been interested
in Long Distance medium wave DX’ing since 1963 - Thought I would let you
know that I heard Radio Caroline North on 1520 kHz I think around
September/October 1966 at from about 1700utc until about 1730utc in
Invercargill. I did not get any direct ID from them, but they played
Beatles tracks the whole time I heard them. Problem was that the audio
from the tracks were ok, but the audio for the adverts and DJ
announcements were not up to the same level. I sent a report to Box 3,
Ramsay, and got a QSL back a number of months later after I joined the
RNZN. Was a radio operator in the RNZN then worked in ZL marine coast
stations, then came to Sydney and worked at Sydney Radio, then changed
over to a tech. Now
working in the security industry, as I am now nearly 56 and finding it
harder to get a job. Have been made redundant twice. Not so active these
days in regards to ham radio. ZL call was ZL4DE and also was on the
Chatham Islands in 1976, 83 and 86 as ZL3LN/C, ZL4DE/C and ZL7DE
respectively. If I had lived in the UK I probably have gone into the
merchant navy as an R/O, or may have even managed to work on one of the
pirates. Also heard the BBC on 1052 back in 66 at around 1800ut with the
football scores and again in around 1986 heard Manx Radio on 1386 at
around 1700ut, and BBC on 693, 909, 1053 and 1089 at around 0500ut, from
a good DX site just out of Invercargill. I am on Skype - User name Tony
Magon.’
Well Tony and Sheridan what a good memory and Tony must have kept his
logs at the right place that they reappear after so many years. It
perfectly clicks with one of the subjects we were talking about in one
of the earlier issues of the Knot International Radio Report, which was
‘far away listeners’. Thanks a lot for sharing this memory and Sheridan
has more: ‘Your news letters are certainly full of information and
always stir up pleasant memories, forcing the old grey matter to focus
on years gone by. Your readers respond well to your questions for
information. I write with a quest if you can ask if anyone has a sound
recording of any of my shows I did as a stand in whilst on Caroline
South, during the last few months before it became illegal to operate. I
left on the last grew change where I had the decision to return or not.
Had I done so would have been illegal myself. If you backtrack a few
weeks from that date possibly someone may have a recording which I would
very much like to obtain. My radio name was Keith and my signature tune
was Sherry Baby, I did one stand in for Johnny Walker and ran the
Frinton car light show. Other stands in shows were around midnight
onward. That period I recall everyone was filling in for everyone else.
Hope any one can help Sheridan. Being in collecting and sharing
recordings since early seventies I doubt it will appear but let’s hope
someone has something on tape for you. If so, please answer Keith
question to: g3vfu@hotmail.com
Sheridan has also another question which maybe can be answered by a few
of the former colleagues he worked with. I now Sheridan that Roger Day,
Johnny Walker, Tom Edwards, Robbie Dale, Mike Ahearn as well as Ian
McRae are all readers of the Knot International report.
Keith in Mi Amigo studio 1967 (Archive Sharidon Street)
So here’s the question: ‘My web site
http://www.hs0zee.com is due for an
overhaul in particular correcting name associated with my Radio Caroline
picture gallery. I have been made aware that several pictures are
incorrectly titled. I would like to correct this injustice to anyone,
which is due to a laps of memory over the many years and request that
you review the names of people in the pictures. I am sure that you will,
or can obtain the correct names. Best regards Sheridon Street.’
It’s September and indeed the Radio Day
will take place in Amsterdam within less then two months from now on
November 4th and I hope to see a lot of our readers in Amsterdam. For
all the latest info, you can go to a special site:
www.offshore-radio.de/radioday
Of course the VOP reunion will take place on that day too. On the above
mentioned site also can be seen who of the deejays have mentioned on
forehand to come over to Holland. So talking about the VOP I got an e
mail from New York: ‘Greetings Hans, I was cleaning out the garage today
and came across this photo. It was taken by my brother moments before
the Peace Ship sailed from NYC in March or 1973. Notice the people on
the dock to bid farewell to the ship. That’s the Norwegian captain on
the bridge. I have a few others if you would like to see them. Cheers,
Ed Simeone original VOP crew member 1973.’
It’s so nice so many memories and photos are coming in from all those
readers world wide. Thanks a lot Ed, a photo from 33,5 years ago!
‘Hi Hans, we're looking at making a short series of programmes on the
pirate radio scene in English and Dutch. Would you be able to help us
with contacts and perhaps an interview? Have a look at our station by
clicking the banner at the top of this email or visiting:
www.expatsradio.com where we have a variety of programmes aimed at the
worldwide expat network as well as 'Baby Boomers' like me! Best wishes,

I’ve answered Peter that due to an overload of work I can’t help. Anyone
interested can response to Peter at:

Another new web radiostation ‘on air’ claiming an old name ‘in the mix’
of an offshore station: ‘Welcome to the all new web site of

Going back to the MV Mi Amigo on the photos on Sheridan’s site there is
a photo showing probably the first black deejay in offshore radio,
Ray
Cooper. I forwarded to Jon from the Pirate Hall of Fame to see if he can
add him to the deejay index on his site and he came back with: ‘Hi Hans,
Thanks for the email. I actually spotted that picture when Sheridon
first posted his collection on the internet. (He also very kindly sent
me a set of them on CD). What I don't know - and maybe you can answer -
is why Ray Cooper was on the Mi Amigo before the MOA. If my memory is
correct, he wasn't heard on Caroline until some time after 15th August.
Unless I am wrong, which is quite possible. I have asked Sheridon,
Robbie Dale and Roger Day (also in that photo) and they can't remember
why he was there. And - one last question - where is Ray now? All the
best, Jon. ‘
So who can help us with more information on Ray Cooper as asked in the
above questions from the PhoF.
Tony James, former Caroline deejay in the late eighties is going to
feature Offshore stuff on his shows on internet. The Tony James Goldmine
Radio Show via www.tonyjamesradio.co.uk
In my Post box I found the new CD single from Nick Barnes. Like often he
was inspired by things happening on sea. This time the song about the
seagull which was a pleasure to listen too. He was accompanied, when
recording this soft MOR song, by Tommy Mandel on keyboards. I wonder if
Caroline or any other station wants to give it a plug. See
www.nickbarnes.does.it for more information.
Next to that in the weeks to come a new CD Album will be released!
What about a few nicknames? David ‘Steaming Lord Crutch’ Sutch and Jimmy
Mack ‘Site’. The long list of nicknames can be found at
www.hansknot.com
Three more to mention all from the period 1966/1967 on Radio Caroline
South:
Robbie ‘D our Dale good friend’ Dale, David Wynn ‘he’s so fine’ and
‘Uncle’ Bill Hearne.
There will be a special show on the 22nd of September at 12 midday GMT
on the internet radiostation Northsea Gold with Paul Graham, this time
remembering Radio Caroline from the first day of transmission in March
1964 till the last day on November 5th 1990. This is a two part special
show with lots of recordings.
