King Radio

On march 24, 2007 Dutch Reel to reel lovers meet each other for the 5th time in a 6 month cycle.
The meeting is a combined session of little repairs by "experts".
listening sessions of the best (restored) decks. Exibition of rare decks and anything. On March 24, 1965 King Radio started to transmit from UK om the medium wave. I am now looking for advertorials, jingles and so on. the radio station was not a great succes and only was on air between march and septembre. I cannot find much at this moment. Someone an Idea?

maybe I'm confused. This radio that has been broadcasting since 1965 is having trouble filling time? Or can they only afford to stay open with operating costs (?) for six months a year? Am I close? Do they only use reel to reel? I feel like I'm missing something?

There you got a point, I think it must be illegal
Veronica and TROS in the Netherlands are legalised versions of
Radio Veronica (see www.norderney.nl) and REM (First commercial TV pirate in Holland)
