Greetings of Nico from Gouda, the Netherlands.
Seems a waste of an awful lot of effort, time and money for what exactly?

So that sites like this can talk about radio stations from boats
From http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2007/03_march/14/manchester.shtml:
BBC Radio Manchester is travelling back in time to the Seventies in aid
of Comic Relief.
I don't know how many of you have been watching Life on Mars, the excellent drama that is currently showing on BBC 1. Seems to me like this is an anoraks dream, his always fiddling with either the TV aerial or the radio.
Still not heard a radio station name, but I'd like to know what station it is, as they are always playing music, the series is set around Manchester in 73,
What station do you believe is playing, has to be Radio 1 surely, what do you think?
No truth in the rumours the interference he keeps hearing are from test transmissions on the IOM,

Ahhh only for some, rather like the re-inactment of medieval battles, some people still want to do it, but don't actually want to be killed, Offshore radio fan(atic)s still want to do it, but don't want to be seasick or risk their lives playing records,

Problem is that they then feel the need to inflict it on everybody else.
The three months to the end of December 2006 (Q4) saw over 1,000,000 net household conversions to digital television (DTV) in the UK, following on from 800,000 additions in the previous Q3. Growth was driven by another strong quarter for digital terrestrial television (DTT), with total sales of DTT equipment reaching 2.4 million.

How would this relate to radio you may ask? Have a look at this thread that seems to start at the bottom of page 38.

Hi all,
I have said it before on this forum. The old Dutch saying goes for a number of you, you won't find a cow even if you trip over one.
In this forum numerous discussions have been going on about the old days of offshore radio. Pages and pages about the poor destiny of the Communicator, let alone the endless rumours about the Ross being moved or even better, used for an RSL.
Now there is a real 2007 radioship being equipped. You all have been able to whitness it from day one and still there is no to hardly any enthousiasm about this project. Bloody hell, there is an aerial erected on a radioship to be. It is floating in salt water and intended to broadcast on AM.
I was over the moon with the news. Finally ! Is it because I'm Dutch like the project? Despite so many UK radio-people being involved no interest from the UK? Had it been for Caroline, Laser or even more vintage Radio London, would that have helped?
People are putting everything on the line to make it work. To create something 80% of you lot are a member for of this forum in the first place. The best we (AN) can do is "What a waste of money".
I am past my fifties and I cherish the offshore days. I know these are different times, but I became a member of this forum to read about what people of today have to say about what I'm interested in. (Offshore) radio. Sometimes I drop a small remark myself. This time I opened AN being very curious for what my fellow anoraks would say about this fantastic news. I read things like "What a waste of money and time". May be the name of the forum should be altered in anoraks alienation, or anorak moaning as (some) people here are very very hard to please. May be some free tickets for a tour around the Ross revenge might bring a smile on their face.
I am not disqualifying anyone as many of you might be mostly readers like me instead of contributants, but I am slightly frustrated (to say the least) and I'm sure it shows. Some people in Holland have 6 frequencies and can't make even one work properly. If my memory serves me well for one of the frequencies is ship was needed.....? Now we have an organisation with only 1 frequency and two stations creating TWO transmitter sites that work of which one is on a ship. I think we owe these guys some more credit than "What a waste of money".
I have seen a radio ship today. After so many years it made MY day.
Take care
Bert
Hi Bert,
Frankly I think it's fantastic news that there are people actually doing something and have got this ship and fitted it out with all the apparatus and antenna mast
– which is most impressive.
Who cares what the armchair critics say – these guys are doing it and that's to be admired. Life is short, live your dream.
regds, David.

I will be having a good drink and smoke down my local this weekend, I find it strange that no one has really objected to these harsh new laws that are coming into force in July. I guess everyone knows it is a good thing and a few years down the road everyone will feel the benefit health wise.
I guess from July pubs will smell of stale beer rather than tobacco.
