Cool AM has provided a link to pirate radio fanzines which have been digitally scanned and turned into PDFs. These can be accessed via a Google Drive link.
Among titles featured are the Anoraks UK Weekly Report, Radio Argus News, Free Radio Waves, Pirate Connection, Wavelength and many more.Back in the 1970s & 1980s, there was no internet so getting access to information about your favourite pirate radio stations was not easy.
Some pirate stations had DX shows, while there were free radio columns in DX clubs' monthly magazines. But enthusaists also published their own A4 typewritten fanzines with all the latest information that listeners could subscribe to.These had all the latest news from shortwave, medium wave, Ireland and offshore. So if you want to wallow in some nostalgia why not take a look?

Is the link right? It doesn't seem to work. Great blog, BTW.
ReplyDeleteThe link takes you to the Google Drive folder - then double click on the folder Free/PirateRadio and you will see the mags in their own folders plus some other free radio bits. The Anoraks UK folder is labelled AUK
