In those days the Guide covered TV as well as radio, which could only manage to fill two pages – but then there were only 19 “ILR” stations.

The Pirates and Pop Music Radio
SELLING THE SIXTIES Was pirate radio in the sixties a non-stop psychedelic party – an offshore discothèque that never closed? Or was there more to it than hip radicalism and floating jukeboxes? From the mavericks in the Kings Road and the clubs ofSohotothemultinationaladvertisers andbigbusiness boardrooms Selling the Sixties examines the boom of pirate broadcasting in Britain. Using two contrasting models of unauthorized broadcasting, Radios Caroline and London, Robert Chapman situates offshore radio in its social and political context. In doing so, he challenges many of the myths which have grown up around the phenomenon. The pirates’ own story is framed within an examination of commercial precedents in Europe and America, the BBC’s initial reluctance to embrace pop culture, and the Corporation’s eventual assimilation of pirate programming into its own pop service, Radio One. Selling the Sixties utilizes previously unseen evidence from the pirates’ own archives, revealing interviews with those directly involved, and rare audio material from the period. This fascinating look at the relationship between unauthorized broadcasting and the growth of pop culture will appeal not only to students of communications, mass media, and cultural studies but to all those with an enthusiasm for radio history, pop, and the sixties. Robert Chapman’s broadcasting experience includes BBC local radio in Bristol and Northampton. He has also contributed archive material to Radios One and Four. He is currently Lecturer and Researcher in the Department of Performing Arts and Media Studies at Salford College of Technology.

Radio Mi Amigo DJ Peter Van Dam Has Died
Radio Mi Amigo DJ Peter van Dam has died DATELINE 6th January 2018 Peter van Dam - described as the great godfather of Flemish pop radio, has died at the age of 65. Best remembered for his programmes on Radio Mi Amigo, Peter also worked on other offshore stations - Radio 199, Radio Caroline and Radio Atlantis. After offshore radio Peter worked on many land-based radio stations including TROS, AVRO, KRO, Radio 10 Gold, Hilversum 3, VTM, MaevaFM, Radio Contact, Radio 192 and Radio Flandria (where he was launch Programme Director). Colleague Eric Hofman paid tribute to Peter and his contribution to Flemish radio - "The first time we met was in Vilvoorde when we became colleagues. He was a great guy, with a huge personality, both in the studio and outside. A man with a phenomenal sense of humour, a lightning-fast thinker, a genius radio maker and top disc-jockey. The only Belgian who became a DJ at Hilversum 3 in prime time and the only Belgian to present the Pinkpop Festival - a whole honour. The name Peter van Dam remains inextricably linked to the golden age of radio which he presented in his inimitable, unique style. Peter is synonymous with Radio Atlantis, Caroline, Hilversum 3, but primarily Radio Mi Amigo, where he first broadcast live on board the MV Mi Amigo and later recorded programmes in Spain. Greece also became acquainted with his enormous radio talent and experience, where he helped to promote Karpathos FM from the bottom to the top of the ratings. For me Peter van Dam is the best Belgian deejay ever.

The Suppression of Pirate Radio Broadcasting: a Test Case of the International System for Control of Activities Outside National Territory
THE SUPPRESSION OF PIRATE RADIO BROADCASTING: A TEST CASE OF THE INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM FOR CONTROL OF ACTIVITIES OUTSIDE NATIONAL TERRITORY HORACE B. ROBERTSON, JR.* INTRODUCTION In the mid-1960's as many as eleven unauthorized broadcasting stations were operating from ships or fixed platforms in the coastal waters off Northern Europe and Great Britain.' These sea-based broadcasting stations, dubbed "pirate" broadcasters by the popular press, first appeared in 1958,2 flourished for a few years, but then vanished from the airways. The last station, Radio Caroline, man- aged to remain on the air from time to time until it sank in a storm in 1979. 3 That even one such station was in existence until only a few years ago, despite signifi- cant individual and concerted efforts by the European states to close them down, indicates that pirate radio stations filled a need not met by local broadcasting facilities,4 and served a constituency of sufficient strength to make effective action against them difficult. 5 As the "pirate radio ship of the 1980's"-a space satellite capable of direct radio and TV broadcasts to ground receivers- becomes a reality, it is appropriate to examine the rise of the pirate stations, the reasons they flour- ished, the problems encountered in suppressing them, and the jurisdictional theo- ries of international law relied upon in eventually bringing them under control. II THE ORIGIN OF PIRATE RADIO BROADCASTING Pirate radio stations flourished in the late 1950's and early to mid-1960's because they filled a need that was not being met by existing broadcasting facili- Copyright © 1982 by Law and Contemporary Problems * Professor of Law, Duke University School of Law.

THE OFFSHORE RADIO MASTS Ian Anderson
THE OFFSHORE RADIO MASTS Ian Anderson n Offshore Echo’s 150, I explained how in the Summer of 2007 I decided to settle something that had bugged me about Radio London’s radio mast ever since the time I fi rst saw a picture Iof the Galaxy in 1965. In that article, and in the follow-up in Offshore Echo’s 151, I estab- lished that the radio masts of the Galaxy and the Olga Patricia (Laissez Faire), two Texan fi nanced and Miami-built radio ships, were much shorter than claimed, but that most of the other offshore radio masts were more or less as previously claimed. Since then I have been trying to establish the precise heights of those other masts. First of all I had to decide what was meant by height, with the top of the mast to keel level, to sea level and (with the towers in the Thames Estuary) to sea-bed level all quoted in various articles and books. After some consultation I decided the height had to be from the mast deck level, just like ground level on land. Almost in every case several heights were quoted for a mast. For example in Jack Kotschack’s (JK) book on Radio Nord, the two masts (only one was erected) are described variously as 40 metres and 43 metres, whereas the correct height was 37 metres. Some of the masts made use of what was already there, or was readily available. The existing ships’ masts were used for the bottom section on the Fredericia and the Olga Patricia, the lantern tower was used on the Comet, the surviving part of the Radio Nord radio mast was used for the bottom section of Mi Amigo masts of 1964 and 1966, and the test mast of the racing yacht Norsaga was used for both of the Ocean VII masts, that being the only section to survive the collapse of the fi rst mast when the rigging was over-tensioned, against advice.
