Radio Victoria hoax broadcast

We are deeply astonished about hearing Victoria on 6290 today (sunday). We celebrated the 25th station's birthday with seven memorial broadcasts ending in our absolutely FINAL transmission last Sunday. We are NOT COMING BACK.

If there are any fans out there rebroadcasting some excerpts of former programs: will be ok. But we do not want any station transmitting under our name. Some German fans heard this broadcast and thought about continuing programs. This is wrong. This broadcast has not been authorized by us nor we have been informed about it....

For Radio Victoria it's over! Nice memory, thanks for support and enthusiastic reactions after all these years....

Who has been that station today on 6290 ?

Roger Kirk ("boss" of Radio Victoria 1983-1986, 2008)
