In Northern Canada, In 1967 I had a big areal and an old Telafunkin radio and I could listen to this, bounced off the Ionisphere. I also listened to Wolf man jack from Mexico.

I miss seeing the "old girl" leaping like a gazelle in a Force 12, anchored a mile away from our ship in the Knock Deep, between Long Sand Head and the Kentish Knock...her original radio tower stood tall and danced in the mist of hurricane strength winds! Man, I miss those days and the lads!

I wasn't there, but feel the fun and excitement! The closest I came to hearing a pirate station was when I was in New Zealand in the early 70s. Everyone reminisced about Radio Hiraki, which was legal by the time I arrived. I can vouch for the high "lame factor" of government run radio! 3ZC in Timaru, although a private station, stank! They were notorious for playing only parts of pop songs. New Zealand in the early 70s was another world. Thanks for sharing these!
