Britain Radio's 27th anniversary
BRI 27th year on SW schedule
It was 27 years ago when we made our first test transmission on SW back in June 1980, 27 years later we are still here broadcasting most 2nd/4th Sundays of the month!
We hope to celebrate in a small way on Sunday 10th/24th June, remembering the first 10 years of broadcasting playing the music from that period. We think 1980 to 1990 was the most exciting time for the station we often received over 100 letters for each broadcast, we had a full team of DJs and helpers, how times have changed in 2007!!
But we still have our listeners which is the most important thing, without their support we would of almost certainly closed down by now.
Subject to TX availability we shall be using 6245khz or possibly 6240khz from 10am UK time, if conditions are unfavourable then the programme should also be going out via our webstream which is available at www.geocities.com/britainradio48
Reception reports are especially welcome for this month's broadcasts to britainradio @ hotmail.com
Thanks for your support - listeners past and present.

Offshore pirates reunion
From the Pirate Radio Hall of Fame website:
The Radio Academy is holding a major event in August to celebrate the legacy of sixties offshore radio.
The Pirate Radio Hall of Fame has been helping with the planning. Dozens of offshore radio DJs of the era have been invited and although they probably won't all be able to attend, it could be the biggest gathering of ex-pirates ever.
And you could be there too! Check out the Radio Academy web site for more details and to book your ticket.
There is a discount if you get in quick. (The site will require you to register on-line. You will then be sent an email giving details of how to order tickets.) And if you were a sixties pirate and you haven't heard from us yet, please let us know.

Fri May 25
There's not been much to report this week which I suspect is because conditions have been bad.
6305: Radio Valencia heard playing schlager @ 2000, followed by ID in Dutch. Some splash from the Sahara station on 6300. SINPO 33333.
6310: Free Radio Holland (pres) with its weekend music marathon. Heard @ 1750 with schlager but signal only weak with a lot of static crashes. Hopefully will improve later on. SINPO 24332.
6878: Pirate Music (pres) with pop music and talking @ 1800. But weak signal makes it difficult to hear what is being said. SINPO 24332.
