Norwegian
Radio Days
By
Svenn Martinsen[1]
Episode 1 Spring 1964-Summer 1971(2004).
I've
never forgotten any of those people or any of the voices we would hear on the
radio. Though the truth is, with the passing of each New Year's Eve, those
voices do seem to grow dimmer and dimmer.[2]
It
was the great Woody Allen who invented the Radio Days term, in his famous
movie of childhood experiences, with the old family radio set, the great shows,
suspense and sports as background.
The
theme of course also has been covered in other movies, such as American
Grafitti[3], where Wolfman Jacks border
blaster show from XERB 1090 AM in Rosarito, Baja California plays a prominent
role.
For
many people the world over, the old voices, the shows of yesteryear and the
vintage receiver are indeed a background of life.
That
is the situation also for this writer. Consequently, in this and some coming
essays, I will try to present my part of that story seen and heard from some
Western Norway locations. Indeed, the voices grow dimmer and dimmer as we grow
older. Therefore, as for others already, it is about time for me for an effort
of preserving those strong impressions, from radio, music and life itself,
before it is too late. Also, with the constant bridging of media platforms
nowadays, we may be the last generation of true radio listeners, knowing radio
as one separate part of media.
Maybe
surprisingly, but I am not in doubt that for me, the story started under the
Hitler Dictatorship in a Konzentration
Lager in Nazi Germany in
1943.
Listening to the BBC in the Concentration Camp.
My father, Svenn Martinsen took part in the partly
Communist dominated Milorg East Resistance in Eastern Norway in the early part
of World War 2. He was not politically active, but as an idealist wanting to
fight for Norways freedom he served as a courier and an intelligence agent and
had he been arrested for this activity by the Gestapo, this story had most
probably never happened.
But as always life is full of paradoxes, and as he
happened to be on a distribution list for an illegal newspaper he was taken
prisoner in his home in Oslo May 1942 and after having served a year in
Norwegian camps the year after transferred to KZ Sachsenhausen in Oranienburg
where he stayed as prisoner 64528 until the Danes and Norwegians were rescued
by the Count Bernadotte operation The White Buses in 1945. He was then 23
years old.
While in the KZ, he worked at the kommando
Kraftwerkzeugdepot in Fichtengrund in the wood east of the main camp. Here was
a large garage, which in addition to regular military equipment housed lots of
cars and motorcycles stolen fromall parts of Europe. The slave labour in the
kommando and the general life in the KZ meant humiliation, suppression, torture
and executions as a daily routine. My fathers special task was to test drive
motorcycles, often a very hazardous exercise.
But he also worked with the late good SS-man Rudi
Heier from Hamburg and others in listening to the BBC from London on car radios
in the hall, writing down the news and passing them on to Norwegian leaders in
the KZ, such as the later Foreign Minister, the late Halvard Lange.
Newly married and a Vega.
After the return to Oslo radio listening after a
while recommenced under more peaceful circumstances.
In the fall of 1945 my father and mother met while
studying at Oslos private Teachers Academy, and married in the summer of
1950.
The couple moved into a flat in the river town of
Lillestroem east of Oslo, travelling to the capital for their school work.
Post-War Norway offered no luxury, so the price of
a large domestic radio of 800 Kroner was quite an investment.
The set bought was the famous Vega Clipper Super
Airmaster from Klaveness Radiofabrikk. A wire antenna was put up, and stations
like AFN Germany, The AFRS Blue Danube Network[4] ,
Sendergruppe Rot-Weiss-Rot(The Austrian equivalent of RIAS Berlin) and the
BBC Home and European services became daily references, including the domestic
programming of Norsk Rikskringkasting coming from nearby LKO Oslo Kringkaster
at Lambertseter on 218 kHz longwave. This service could also easily be heard
from Hamar Kringkaster (famours for its War effort) near the old Cathedral on
520 kHz, and LKF Fredrikstad Kringkaster at Oera on 1578 kHz.
The couple listening to the radio 1950. The dial is
tuned to the BBC Home Service on 1151 KHz.
In 1951 I was born, and we moved to Bergen in
Western Norway, taking the Vega with us. In the flat rented from my mothers
aunt in the village of Landaas the set was connected again and soon the NRK and
its domestic programming broadcast from a 20 kW rig on 890 kHz from the two 150
metres radio masts of LKB Bergen Kringkaster (Askoey Island) became a daily
routine. So did also the local Bergen II station, Bergen Lokal coming from a
1 kilowatter at the same site[5]. But
also the more distant stations were keeping an interest. I remember clearly my
fathers triumph exclamation after having heard Radio Australia Shepparton.
My impression of the radio dial in 1955. An eager study
was also made of the radio sets of my grandparents, when visiting them. All
those names on the dial were very thought-provoking for a little kid: all those
faraway places, and it was even possible to hear people talking from various of
these exotic names!
The memories of sport
broadcasts, newscasts and entertainment from the NRK are vivid. I listened with
equal interest to speed skating, cross country skiing and ski jump, following
the victories and the losses of Knut Kuppern Johannessen, Haakon Brusveen
and Toralf Engan. Dagsnytt gave
the news of the death of the King, and distress at sea, while Rolf Kirkvaag(20
Questions) and former BBC man Erik Bye(We go onboard) stood out as the
favourite show comperes. Request Concert was and still is a stalwart of NRK
radio programming. The radio dramas were great too. The Norwegian version of
Anthony Buckeridges Jennings broadcast in Childrens Hour on Saturdays
with Coronation Rag theme tune by Winifred Atwell must be some of the
funniest material produced in Norway ever, while Francis Durbridges serial
thriller Paul Temple really secured high listening figures.
The years after WW2
were also of course dominated by the Cold War feeling, coming to a peak
during the Cuba missile crisis of October 1962. But it was also a period of the
belief of technical progress(From Workshop and Factory), and the NRK did
their part of educating the nation via School Broadcasting, including Classroom
Gym with Reidar Morset. The characteristic content and language of fish and
stock market reports also sticks with you. Also the very courteous attitude of
the state broadcaster sticks to my mind. First names were never used in
interviews or references, only title, or Herr/Fru plus the surname.
Norwegian
radio listening tradition
My father was just one of
many people who played with the radio in the 50s. In Tromso, an Arctic
Listeners Club of 50 members is documented by Programbladet of the NRK
1951-1953, and in Southern Norway a Hevreka DX-Club in the Mid 50s.
Hevreka
DX-Club sample Special QSL(hams lingo for
verification)
In 1958, DXLC,
DX-Listeners Club was formed in Notteroey by Svend-Olaf Dahlen. The
main group in the 60s was in Hamar, consisting of names like Ellmann Ellingsen,
Rolf Loevstroem, and Tore Nilsen.
But radio listening in
Norway never reached the numbers of active listeners or results of Sweden,
which ran into thousands, see Jan Erik Raefs essay at http://www.stellamaris.no/mv.htm .
The
fine results of Swedish dxer John Bohm in the 30s and 40s are remarkable. Of
course, with most radios in Norway confiscated by the Nazis in 1941, not much
hobby listening could be done here.
But there are good sources[6]
to support that Norway had dxers from early in the 20s, and many radio fans in
the 30s.
There were however, no
clear border between hams and dx-ers. Radio stations were very positive towards
listeners, and the regional commercial station in Bergen, Bergen kringkastingsstation(Bergen Broadcasting), each evening
suspended own programmes to relay foreign stations such as Stockholm/Motala,
Copenhagen/Kalundborg, Berlin/Koenigswusterhausen, Langenberg, Vienna, Paris,
Daventry and Daventry Experimental! This was done via the receiving station of
LGN Bergen Radio[7] at the Radio Lake in
Fyllingen, West of Bergen.
How the
radio safaris on Bergen Broadcasting came about.
The sources also point to how to erect
T-and L-and flattop antennas, the latter also being used for transmissions, secure
the best earthing, and deal with interference, of which the most notable were
howlers, ie listeners oscillating, as well as city trams.
A ham is relating his story
as early as 1923, and tells of longwave reception of SUC Cairo and NSS
Annapolis, coast and ship stations on 600 metres from Roald Amundsens Maud
to the Norway-USA passenger liner Stavangerfjord, and the new British
commercial stations such as 2LO on 369 metres(later
365)from the Strand in London, with opera from Covent Garden. Others heard by
1924 from the UK were:
Cardiff 5WA 350 metres(formerly 353)
Manchester 2ZY 375 metres(formerly 385)
Birmingham 5IT 475 metres(formerly 420)
Newcastle 5NO 400 metres
Glasgow 5SC 420 metres(formerly 415)
Aberdeen 2BD 495 metres
Bournemouth 6BM 385 metres
Sheffield 303 metres
Plymouth 330 metres
Belfast 435 metres
Plus the big Marconi
station 5XX Chelmsford on Longwave 1600 metres.
And then one day he heard
North America in the form of WGY Schenectady, New York on 380 metres!
On alternate nights
stations in the UK and USA would hold silent periods, in order that listeners
could hear signals from the other continent. This was a quite popular sport,
and was called transatlantic phone-tests. One such occasion was December 2nd,
1922. But just like we complain about QRM(interference) when we try to hear
that special station today, the hopeful dxers of those years blamed the
howlers when they did not succeed.
The listener with the best
results of these years appears to have been Leif Salicath, living not far from
Holmenkollen. He tells of his experiences with North America listening in 1925
from 0230-0600 Norwegian time. His antenna was a wire
between the two house towers 20 metres above ground. Mobile listening is also
documented. The best results apperared to come in silent,
cold moonshine nights.
On December 4th,
1924 Salicath heard WGY and many other stations such as KDKA in Pittsburgh, PA
(Westinghouse, 326 metres, plus shortwave 100 metres) and KSD St.Louis, MO,
between 320 and 450 metres. At 0327 the carrier of Schenectady, NY appeared and
the station identified itself: WGY, General Electric, Schenectady, calling.
Jazz music and songs and frequent IDs followed. Other North Americans heard in
Norway were WJZ New York(RCA) on 455 metres and WRAZ
Troy, NY(Polytechnic Institute) on 380 metres, sharing with WGY.
But it could be done the other way round too: The
Bergen Broadcasting 1kW station on 820 kHz made it almost to Mexico from its
downtown flattop antenna. In the Mid-20s it was logged in Chula Vista,
California.
Others ought to make a try. It gives a
festive feeling in your living room and hear, out of
the copper wire what is sung and said in USA and Canada. Your thoughts are
travelling over there and we think of the cities, countries and people that
these programs are meant for and our minds are tuned with awe of the great
wonder of our times: Radio!
This also is the perfect solution for entertainment
for your Saturday evening parties. There is entertainment from Oslo until midnight,
then England until 1, then Madrid until 0130 and then the USA. It will then be
time for your own close down at 0600!
The Vega in the living
room.
Back in the 50s, and
it is the mornings of the NRK that are remembered most by this writer. The
weather from the Met Institutes would go out at 8am, followed by
Morgenandakt(Thought for the Day) and at 0835 it would be 5 minutes for
Housewives. After that The Small Childrens Hour came on with special favorites
like the authors Anne Cath Vestly, Thorbjoern Egner and Alf Proeysen. It was
Egner who introduced a fourth favorite here, namely Astrid Lindgren of Sweden.
After this the NRK
network would leave the air, not returning before 1120 with the Stock Market
and Maritime Weather reports. The piano time signal and green eye(in Norway
called Troll Eye) signalling the transmitter was back on commanded the
listening troops back in position.
One such morning, in
February 1960 is especially remembered. I was ill in bed and had to stay home
alone, my parents having to secure their earnings to support us. But a second
domestic receiver, a Klaveness Reiseradio could offer some comfort such days.
The morning news of
the loss of a Norwegian ship called Onega in the Baltic hit me deeply. I
started crying, so after the childrens program I started twisting the dial of
the Maritime Band to hear or even speak to the vessel, in vain of course. But I
understood at least that a radio could have much more to offer than NRK.
In Bergen, there were
two stations until 1966, so besides the national service and a regional
newscast at 1610-1630 on 890, we had Bergen Lokal, a remnant of the private
commercial radio of the 30s, broadcasting on 1115 kHz from 5 pm each afternoon
until 7pm in the evening, offering among other programming the childrens
entertainment Kallemann og Amandus and local news(By-og Bygdenytt).
The Bergen Lokal
programme for May 27th, 1961 per Bergens Tidende.
Parallell to this came
the impression from radio related books, such as the more factual radio
chapters of Who What Where[8] and
Fasiten to fiction: Hardy Boys and the Shortwave mystery.
A new dimension: Radio
Luxembourg and the offshore stations.
The time for my real
radio days was ripe, so I guess the next chapter was inevitable, but our young
teacher certainly helped allowing the playing of the current Beatles record
Cant Buy Me Love in the classroom in April 1964.
That made me go home,
turn on the radio and search for pop music. A new door opened. And that same
evening The station of the Stars on 1439 kHz was tuned in.
I heard my first Top Twenty
on May 4th the same year through the Reiseradio under the pillow, but it was
not long before the news of a radio ship called Caroline also reached me whilst
playing a football match through one of my mates at the time.
Late night
top 20 notes from June 1964.
With the family having
moved once again, this time to our own house in Fana to the south of Bergen,
and with my father and mother having followed the general trend towards smaller
radios bought a Radionette portable, the 1950 valve set Vega Clipper Super
Airmaster, with excellent sensitivity and sound stood vacant.
Pirate radio ready 1964. The Vega Clipper Super Airmaster
dial.
This was now installed in my room, a 20 metres
longwire was connected to the nearest tree, and by autumn 1964 I thus had the
necessary equipment to follow the offshore pirate radio boom already in full
swing. This amounted mostly to pop radio, with Caroline North presenting a
strong signal in September the same year. I quickly also found the South Ship
on the dial. My first radio log was
a hand-written little weekly magazine Anaheim Times, the title being inspired
by a Jan and Dean record, with the weekly California City Top 100 chart very
inspired by Cash Box Top 100 presented by djs like Colin Nicol, Bryan Vaughan
and Keith Skues on Caroline South.
Anaheim Times: The California City Hot 100 from
January 2nd, 1966
But also the BBC Light programme was listened to, not
only The Joe Loss pop show with the odd record, due to limited needle-time
but also Two-Way Family Favourites and Sunday Afternoon Comedy before Alan
Freeman took to the air with Pick of the Pops: And now the second unit,
pop-pickers![9]
A most decisive afternoon was when going to A Hard
Days Night showing in Bergens Forum Kino in September 1964. Standing in the
long que waiting to get into the cinema on the first Saturday, for the first time
I understood the immense power of the new music, radio and the teen generation
I had just entered myself. The other sex was suddenly much nearer that one had
imagined was possible ever before, and it was SO natural there and then to
discuss the latest hits-and the stations that played them with the girls next
to you. And that day, I also heard Radio Caroline playing the Hondells Little
Honda! Surf and Car music with its characteristic riffs on the Fender guitar
became the big thing for us kids. I even started writing tunes myself such as
Surfin the Lake and Little Giddy Cobra. West Coast Music for the West
Coast! The big favorites then were the Beach Boys and The Byrds, but also
Dylan, Motown and Northern R&B attracted us, I wore sunglasses and tried to
grow my hair long looking like a certain Geordie, namely Eric Burdon from
Bergens friendly city, Newcastle-upon-Tyne!
Other influences were
the music mags found at the news agents Narvesen, such as the glossy Pop
Pics, and Fabulous,
but it was New Musical Express, Disc, with the odd Melody
Maker and Music Echo that provided us with the charts and the facts about the
stars. But the main reference for record charts and radio was Record Mirror
with its Tony Hall column.
Hall incidentially was the one that tipped me off on
the mentioned US Top 100 on Caroline, but also drew my attention to the
fort-based stations Radio City and KING.
The pirates brought format-based radio to Europe, I
learned a lot about music-The Sound of The City [10],
learned a lot of English, a lot about radio, and all this was to pave the way
for my being a dxer with special interest in the Americas on the MW band. And,
a certain radio project.
By 1965, the offshore radio stations went from
strenghth to strength[11][12], and I
for one, was rather excited about top 40 music, the DJs , but also the
newscasts, in short, R-A-D-I-O! A real radio junkie. My mates and I did not have any transmitter, but this
was all that was missing when we started our own pirate radio station Radio
Korsfjorden, (Radio CROSSFJORD), but as this was in Norwegian
only, we as the
next stage decided upon English programmes and a new name! It was
more like the real thing, then, we felt. It was later to be re-named Radio Atlanta as we found this
name was free after the merger of the Carolines!
Doesnt the
Korsfjorden radio ship look a bit like the Mebo 2 some years later?
So the situation was
rather hectic in that small room of mine on a sunny day in May 1966 when some pals
of mine and myself were busily recording programmes for the would-be station on
312 metres. I became dj Simon De Brandon(of course with a fictious girlfriend named
Pussycat in the studio), with my mates taking names of Honey Hovda, PN Mc
Guire, Dee Dixon and Ronnie Garfunkel! We also had our own Jack Spector in
Chuck Corrigan, also myself, presenting a daily show of Surf Music from
Daytona Beach. This directly stemmed from our fascination of the Nashville Hot
Rod Band Ronny and the Daytonas, whose song Little GTO on the Mala label went
to no.4 in the US charts. We went on broadcasting till one
of the amplifiers went kaput - at 6 pm in the evening!
The mentioned Anaheim Times also had to have its
report of a visit to the Radio Atlanta ship off the Norwegian coast since
the NME had been to the Mi Amigo! And, had Keith Skues looked tired after a
3-hour stint on the air, so would Simon.
In this picture, the NRK was not entirely forgotten
though, presenting at this time quite a lot of good new comedy from Rolv
Wesenlund and Harald Heide Steen jr. which was much to our liking, and its new
pop program The Ten in Target, inspired by Radio Nord and Sveriges Radio P3.
The old land pirate Vidar Loenn Arnesen(Radio Flakong,
Horten[13])
we thought a bit square though in comparison to the offshore djs. But
gradually, the NRK vanished from my listening habits, only to return many years
later.
Radio London
BIG L was, and still holds the position of no. 1 of
all the pirates[14]. It had an Americanized sound
– inspired by KLIF 1190 Dallas.[15] Its top
40 format was adapted for the British market, just like Gordon McLendon and
Jack Kotschack already had done with Radio Nord in Sweden. The BIG L DJs were
bright and professional, and the presentation slick, programmed by Ben Toney,
and later, Alan Keen. The station was brilliantly managed by Philip Birch. The
station also had humorous touches, much because of the late Kenny Everetts
talent. Anyone who tuned in to BIG L on 266 will remember the promos and station
breaks Kenny, "Everett of England" made, like "Think of what you
get with Kenny Everett", and the special London version of Music, Music,
Music. Kenny once said in a Record Mirror interview that at the 266 microphone there was a
little sentence SMILE YOU BASTARDS, and that says a lot.
From Kenny
Everetts days on 208: Everett of England.
BIG L had many other good broadcasters. TW, or the
late Tony Windsor was well known for his housewives show from 9-12 am, and to him goes the credit
for the first coffee break on British Radio. TW is also well known for his
Hullow- ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. Then there was the late Paul
Kay who also was the news director. Pauls very professional way of handling
the news – Radio London time is 3.30This is Paul Kay reporting- will
also be easily remembered. Mark Roman, The Marshal Mike Lennox, Dave Dennis
(Double D), Ed Stewart(Stewpot), the late Earl Richmond, Willy Walker and Dave
Cash, who handled the breakfast show for some time are other well known
personalities. From Radio England and US Radio came the late and great Chuck
Blair, and from Canada Lorne King. Any BIG L listener will also remember
deep-voiced Duncan Johnson, a good broadcaster, who later did a lot of work for
Radio Luxembourg, Capital Radio and Invicta Radio. From Radio Caroline came
Keith Skues, Tony Blackburn and Tommy Vance. And from stints on several US
stations came Pete Drummond and John Peel.
Some of Radio Londons broadcasters came via
Bermuda, and Willy Walker went back there after Big L
In 1968 I returned to
Bermuda and resumed broadcasting with the Bermuda Broadcasting Co.......first
on ZBM-FM.......then onto ZBM 1, 1235 kHz with the afternoon show......and
finally the morning show (10-2pm) on ZBM 2 1340KHz .......leaving in 1971. I
also did some sailing reporting for ZBM TV. At nights I would MC at the top hotels introducing the Top named
imported acts.....Lonnie Donnigan, Roy Castle, 3 Degrees, Jean Paul Vignon to
name some Bermuda is where I met both Duncan Johnson ( Gerald Clements on ZBM)
and Mike Lennox ( Michael Graham on ZBM) in the early sixties. It was from
there that they went onto Britain and later onto Radio London. When I went to
UK in 1965 I looked up Duncan and Mike...followed them into the modelling
career.. and followed them onto RL. Jerry King (Fred Riley) was a former ZBM
announcer..........I don't know what years but this was before he went to Radio
Britain/Radio England. He later went onto TV on ABC News. Another name who we
all knew in Bermuda........was a radio nut and worked in the station library
was Tony Monson......The HON.AJ Monson---really. ZBM .......the Bermuda
Broadcasting Co was managed in the 60's by Walt Staskow and followed later by
Quinton Edness a local Dj who later took up politics. Following him and Manager
today is Rick Richardson a former DJ and a local .Here's the address: Bermuda
Broadcasting Co, Fort Hill
Road, Devonshire, DV 02,
Bermuda.
266s day was 6 am - 9 pm in the beginning, later
this was increased to 2 am. Of their special programs Radio London Fabulous
40 on Sunday afternoons attracted much interest, and the station made
several hits including Procol Harum A whiter shade of pale, Scott McKenziess
San Francisco and many others. On the station, a lot of time mas given to new
talent. The Small Faces and Unit 4+2 are just two groups that Radio London
made.
Some of the stations popularity no doubt had to do with the custom
jingles made by PAMS of Dallas. Paul Kay once told that he had been stopped by
the police, but the officer had let him pass when he spotted the sticker on the
window, and sang Wonderful Radio London. We all did! I remember well in one
of Pauls shows he identified the station by playing a jingle and then adding
"266 is the number on the door."
Keith Skues took over the housewives show after TW
and he had a rather humorous jingle: You get rid of your blues when you tune
in to Keith Skues.
The funniest time I had when tuning in to Radio
London no doubt mas the New Years party 65/66. The DJs on the ship all
gathered in the studio - among others Earl Richmond (with sunglasses)
and Mike Lennox with his guitar, and then they sang together to all the
listeners.
A Big L Climber from the Fabulous 40 November 28th,
1965. From Hans Knots collection.
BIG L is off the air, but its ideas and the
creativity live on, as John Peel, whose Perfumed Garden must be the first
progressive music show on European Radio is very popular. And that is just one of
the many examples I could mention of BIG Ls impact.
Swinging
Radio England.
SRE was my favourite station, and is most missed. I do not think there have been
any to match it in Europe. The Larry Dean tests on 355 in May 1966 hit me
like a bomb, and since then I was hooked. So strong are the impressions, that
to this day Boss Radio I am happy to say is remembered vividly with great
fondness.
When it closed, a station
ended that-in spite of other excellent stations like its sister station Britain
Radio, or Radio London, the Carolines or Radio Nova Dublin-easily became the
most influential for me personally during the heyday of the UK pirates. Even if
it was a lesser success financially I am very grateful for the adventurous
attitude of Don Pierson, Bill Vick and the others involved. It should have
stayed on, in order to really take off.[16]
Shortlived "SRE on 227" stands forth as a
top 40 programmed station in the best mid60ies tradition. Via especially Radio
England kids in Northern Europe were treated to the same type of radio, music
and djs like contemporary kids in the USA. That station was our
WABC, WMCA, WPTR, WLAC, WQAM, KHJ,
CHUM, what-have-you! Its Jet Set" and "Thatman" jingles have later
been widely copied. Most of the DJs came from US Radio, although Roger Day and
Johnnie Walker, two of the British ones, are the DJs that later mould emerge as
most popular. I also remember well the "Boomers Broadcasting Company"
with B B Brannigan from 9 am - 2 pm. Gordon Bennett, Bill Berry, Errol Bruce,
Larry Dean, Graham Gill, Colin Nicol, Ron OQueen, Gerry Smithwick, and Mark
Stevens, are other big names. Tom Cooper was also a favourite, I can well
remember my father returning from the UK autumn 1966 with a small transistor
with the names of Radio London and Radio Caroline printed on the dial. But I
chose first tuning in SRE on 227 with Tom being the one on air. And guess if
I was proud to receive a card from the Managing Director Bill Vick, on August
12th, 1966! "Svinging Radio England" as it was known, is also well
known for its "Space news hotlines" every hour 15 mins past the hour,
and was the first station to program a "flashback weekend", with
every record being played an oldie.
Britain Radio.
Sister station BRITAIN RADIO on 355 metres was also short lived. But I
am sure many will happily remember the good sounds from 355, in the first
Middle-of-the-Road-format on British Radio. Britain was also well programmed,
with news every hour on the hour, and "Britain Radio - Hallmark of
Quality" jingles. One of the best programmes was "Musical Carousel,
hosted by Graham Gill and others.
The Carolines[17].
RADIO CAROLINE must also be mentioned. I,
personally, enjoyed most of
its broadcasting time, from September 1964 until
2nd of March 1968. And what could be more natural than the first record being
heard by me from Caroline North was Martha and the Vandellas Dancing in the
Street?
Calling
out, around the world
are you ready for a brand new beat?

Promotional
Card: The Caroline North Ship mv Fredericia. A gift from
Daffy Don Allen.
I was a big fan of Daffy
Don Allen since he started on Radio Caroline in 1965. A
special favourite was his Country Jamboree, maybe the first and still one of
the few examples of country radio in Europe to this day. I often listened to
Daffy Don's C&W show, and when I realized it had gone in March 1968, I
cried each time I played the recording of his show close: "Don Allen's
Country & Western... Jam...bo...REE!!! plunging into the Cumberland Gap
theme by Homer and the Barnstormers. Don played Statler Brothers, Little Jimmy
Dickens, Johnny Cash, the lot, plus Country and Irish Frankie McBride and Larry
Cunningham. You can take the boy out of the country, but you cant take the
country out of the boy! This gave me a first start with the world of Country
music in its real context. When the Nashville sound was presented on the NRK on
May 18th 1964 I felt the setting just wasnt right. I also loved his regular
show: The Big Wide Wonderful Willy Of The Daffy Donny Ally Argh
Don also was a master-crafter of jingles. He was
able to take one jingle, and from this make many others using different
voice-overs. His drop-ins "Hahahaha "Funnee Funnee" are the
best. Don was slick and very, very good in presentation, referring to the time
on the old clock on the wall. Don was certainly many, many years ahead of his
time. In Norway and Europe I dont think yet we have seen anybody like him. He was a great dj, and a great character. And it
was a pleasant experience to meet him in 1983.
A visit to Don Allen
Don Allen, real name Thomas
Alan Jorge, worked originally on what is today the AR Radio Network(CFAR
Flin Flon 590/CHTM Thompson 610/CJAR The Pas 1240, MB in Canada. All 3 stations were later heard by me.) His offshore and
Manx Radio career is well known. He
was also on BBC Merseyside for a period, and during the heyday of the Irish
Pirates he was briefly on Sunshine Radio, Radio Nova, and then went to Royal

Promotional
Card. Another donation from the late Daffy Don Allen.
In 1983 I went first to RCR
in Co Meath to look him up, as Don started and co-owned this station that
broadcast on 846 AM, first from Navan Town itself, and later from the old Radio
Nova 10 kW transmitter, this having been moved to Dunshaughlin, Co Meath. The
studios were all the time at the Arcade in Navan. I had a most pleasant time
there, but Don had recently left, to go down to ERI on 1305 AM, broadcasting
from Whites Cross East of Cork City.
Several of the djs shared a
house in Glanmire, Co Cork, which is where Don invited me after I had a look
around the ERI studios and transmitter site.
At the house we sat down
and looked at his photo album from RCN, a female fan had sent in a camera for
him to take pics, and he had got a copy of these from her. I especially
remember pictures from the towing in March 1968, and lots of interior pics from
the Fredericia, but some of them must have been pre-MOA, as Baby Bob Stewart
was on some. I took several photos at the occasion, including one of Dons
famous suitcase taken at the bottom of the stairs.
Don asked if I would like
his promos and jingles. He never got round to copy them for me, however.
I discussed the excellent
dj Canadian Rip Thorne with Don. I especially remember a great Midnight Surf
Party in October 1967. Don agreed on his qualities but said the man(Canadian) in his opinion was a mystery person who
suddenly came, and suddenly went.
Here Dons fellow dj on RCN, Andy Cadier aka Martin
Kayne takes up the story:
Yes, I was
once as known as Martin Kayne and I still reappear in public on or about the
14th August each year, the rest of the time I am Andy.
I did
visit Don Allen after the ships were towed away at his house in Redhill in Surrey, I seem to remember his wife... Rip Thorne's name was invented one
evening on the Fredericia. I
understood he was actually a TV broadcaster and he had with him a large 16mm
cine camera (video had not been invented then) the story I was told was that he
had come to Britain and somehow run short of cash and wanted to get some money
to pay his air fare back home to Canada.
Greg Bance
I see each year at the Radio Essex reunion, also John Aston and Mark
Sloane. I have not seen Jason
Wolfe, Ross Brown, Dee Harrison or *Lord* Charles Brown (another Don Allen
creation) for many years. The last
time I saw Jim Gordon and Ross Brown was when they turned up here in Folkestone
on my doorstep. I have heard that Jim Gordon (Guy Blackmore) has died of cancer
in Australia.
For a considerable amount of memorabilia donated to this writer
by the late Daffy Don Allen in Glanmire from his career and especially his time with Radio
Caroline, plus some epics from the visit, please go to http://www.stellamaris.no/don.html
A funny episode was the solemn heralding of the
arrival of DJ Lord Charles Brown to the North Ship. It all was broadcast on the
airwaves of 259, with a big cruiser entering Ramsay Bay, red carpet and all.
Caroline North[18] was
never boring. It had a true station identity and personality, and the jocks
added their great personalities to this, really loving to be on the air.
Caroline has had many DJs, but in addition to the
ones mentioned, Jim Murphy ("Murph the Surf"), Baby Bob Stewart[19], Robbie
Dale, Keith Hampshire, Steve Young (The curly headed kid in the 3rd row) Bud
Ballou and Johnnie Walker must be named. Johnnie is well known today, but
already in 1967 his 9-12 pm show on Caroline South was almost legendary. He was
also at the microphone when the Marine Offences Bill became effective on August
15th. 1967. To him must go the credit for the popularity of Soul music in Great
Britain.
The Emperor Rosko began his European career on
Caroline South, and I can still remember the South ship test transmission on
April 26th, 1966 on 1187 when Rosko for the first time used the stations SOUND
OF THE NATION IDs. Shortly afterwards, by the way, there were 3 Carolines for a
short time, both from Mi Amigo and Cheetah 2 came the sound of Caroline South,
to prevent loss of audience in the frequency
change.
I also remember how eagerly I tuned in to the South
ship "Cash Box Top 100" on Sunday mornings.
Radio 270
Being off the Yorkshire Coast, RADIO 270 had en
enormous signal into Norway. It was often heard on kids transistors. Many
Australian broadcasters found their way to this station, among them Dennis
Straney or Dennis the Menace", Hal Yorke and Neddy Noel Miller. This
station became one of the best and most popular of all the offshore stations.
Ross Randell was also one of their DJs, as was Paul Burnett, names that are
established today. Ross, whose real name is Alan West, was top RNI man for some
time and Paul was senior DJ with Radio Luxembourg for several years later.[20] My
favourite was Vince Rusty Allen, who closed down the station, on August 14th,
1967.
Radio City
I also became eager to hear Radio City-The tower
of power, after having seen adverts for it in Record Mirror. City also was
featured in the Tony Hall-column in the same music paper. Record Mirror was
my first WRTH, so to speak. As for Tony Hall, I remember he thought well of
City, and especially mentioned the 5 by 4 show.
We kids tried to get Radio City on the radio, and
had quite a lot of theories regarding how
to find it. We thought e.g. that the ship- (most pirates had one!) and
its situation determined the frequency situation on the band!
At any rate, at last we did succeed hearing the
fort-based station, and when told about the first logging by a school-mate I
went straight home, tumed on the Vega and heard Radio City with the No. 1 in
the City top 60 by the Beatles-We can work it out on 1034 kHz, 290 MW.
I also tuned in the summer of 1966 when the raiders
had gone, and the station came back on the air in the evening, I remember with
a strong and clear signal.
Radio City promotional card. From the collection of
Rolf Mong.
In November 1966, I was ill in bed, and had an
all-day safari of offshore radio: Good Vibrations, by the Beach Boys 10 times
in one day!) and listened among others to Gordon Bennett and B.B. Brannigan on
Radio England, and to Kenny Everett on Radio London. Of course I also tuned to
City, and monitored its sign-off at Midnight with an edited Pams Radio London
weather jingle; Heres the latest weatherword on 299!(The 299 being a
substitute for Wonderful Radio London) The dj announced the Radio City
weatherwatch at 12 midnight, and then, after the weather, the station closed
for the night after a brief announcement saying that City would be back at 6
with the Early Bird show, and that it was situated off the Whitsable Kent
coast. Under the music an instrumental tune by Graham Bond(Whos afraid of
Virginia Woolf)-the same, by the way, was utilized by BBMS and Radio London,
with BIG L in deep voice edited in with Duncan Johnson. Finally City went off
with the National Anthem: God Save the Queen.
As for the general reception, Ive noted Spanish
interference, which ought to be wrong, as I guess it was the then Radio Clube
Portugues. Ive later read that the tx was VFO controlled at first, but my
notes say nothing of a heterodyne.
Now I
hear Shivering Sands is in a very bad state. At least it has a part in the
broadcasting history of Great Britain.[21]
KING
and Radio 390.
The Tony Hall-column in Record Mirror also
featured King as well. Hall had been to the coast and raved about the radio
possibilities. He drew my attention to the 'Mike Raven show on KING Radio, which hed heard whilst
on Bank Holiday in 1965. He said that the Raven show was a must for blues and
soul fans. And right he were. As it turned out, KING became 390, and then Raven
suddenly got a radio platform with a clear signal and wide coverage.
I did not realize at the time what a great radio
station 390 was, broadcasting from Red Sands. And when listening to tapes from
it today you must admit, THAT was a good sound! The programming was excellent
and presenters like the late Edward Cole, David Allen, Jonathan Hall and Graham
Gill are well remembered.
I first heard Radio 390 on 773 kHz MW early 1966. Reception was greatly
hindered by the Swedish co-channel domestic transmitter at Nacka. The time was
from 1900 British time. Later I wrote in Anaheim Times that 390 had a great
show with rock n roll and such things! The program: The Raven show, with Mike
playing Bessie Smith!
So huge was the impact of the pirates, that even a 14-Year
old boy in Norway into pop music, would enjoy an American Blues Singer on Eve,
The Womans magazine of the air!
Also little Radio Essex made an
impact into Norway as is seen in this reproduced page from Anaheim Times
Radio Scotland
I will entirely leave the story to Anaheim Times of
January 16th, 1966:
1967: The Laissez Faire comes
back and-I hear my first NA dx!
A part of the antenna mast of The Laissez Faire,
now housing Radio Dolfijn and Britain Radio, broke in February 1967. As is well
known, the ship therefore had to go to Holland for repairs. At this time this
operation also badly needed re-financing, something that its Texan backers
secured on March 11th, 1967. With repairs done, the ship departed from Zaandam on March 14th,1967, and
was back in position March 15th,1967. It seems it re-started broadcasting again
the day after, March 16th,1967 at 2000 GMT with Radio 355 on 845 sounding
similar to Radio 390, whose former boss Ted Allbeury now was operating the two
stations on behalf of the Texan owners[22].
I have noted Radio 227 at 2230 on 1322, with close down at 2300 GMT(midnight). I remember organ music and the djs name
being Jos Then 227 left the air.
This was to be the real
start of my radio listening(dxing) career, as CKEC
New Glasgow, NS(Canada) 1320
suddenly was found on the channel shortly after the ship's transmitter was turned off. I
thought Radio England had come back!
Not the return of Swinging Radio
England, but a door-opener to the new world!
At any rate a most decisive
moment that stands glued to your memory. And in the coming night, stations from
all over Eastern North America turned up on the MW band. I remember especially
CJCB 1270 not leaving me in doubt it came from Sydney and Cape Breton. But
where was this? The atlas provided the answer: Nova Scotia! But of course, without any log or WRTH,
or tape recorder, only a few stations were identified, by noting call letters
and addresses.
It was later in the spring,
when I found the USA produced Whites Radio Log as an appendix to Radio TV
Experimenter in a Narvesen kiosk, that the identity and location of some of
the stations were established.
Later, when checking the
logs of dx friend Rolf Mong, undoubtedly no.1 among Norwegian dxers in the 60s
and 70s, it appears that the conds had been good for several days already in
Mid-March 1967.
And imagine then how proud
I was when the kind replies, the QSLs came! CJCH 920, WBZ-1030, WNEW-1130 and
CJCB-1270 all answered my very immature reports effectively and politely.
If you have wondered what
dxing stands for, it is Hams lingo, with DX standing for distance. This was
to become my life-saver after the loss of the pirates,
and to become an important part of my life for over 30 years. It gave me an
essential knowledge of broadcasting, from propagation to running of stations.
It has given me life-lasting friends, insight into music, languages, and
perhaps most importantly, a trained ear for everything from verifiable material
in proving a reception, hearing what is good radio and to listening to people
in life generally and especially in my Church Ministry.
Of course, my listening
career also provided me with an invaluable background and an overwhelming
material that all was put into the planning of a large radio project of which
the roots then are found way back in the trials of a German KZ, but also in
post-war childhood experiences, as well as in the teen years with the pirates.
On a fact-finding tour of
the Irish pirates in 1983 I was as already mentioned also in Co.Cork. While
there I related some of the experiences above to the late Daffy Don Allen. He
then asked me how old I was when I listened to him on Caroline North. When he
heard I was a teenager he smilingly commented: Thats the best time!
