Hello everyone. Hans Knot have made an extra International Radio Report about Andy Archer.

Hi Richard, Interesting one you mention here because just maybe offshore radio enthusiasts and broadcasters may have brought us a now popularly used cultural term 'Anorak' The story as I was once...

 Hmm, I think you're being a bit selective there. That period would have been three and a half years for Caroline North, ok, two and a half if we discount the horrendous Major Minor era!

I would argue the "heyday" of offshore radio was 1964 – 1967, maybe March 1968. I accept there was RNI and Laser 558, but I don't think they had quite the impact of the original stations.

I was an anorak before 1964, going through phases of train, bus and plane spotting. Radio has been my most enduring activity, followed by County Cricket and non-league football.

I have just updated the Pirate Radio Hall of Fame web site, as I do on the last day of every month. This month's update is a bit different.

Well I agree with you in principle, but I think from Laser Mr C Wolfe has made a recognisable contribution to UK radio (and of course Randall Lee was around on Big L if that counts).

Hello everyone. There is news from www.radiomiamigo.eu Read this e-mail that I have just received from Hendrik van Nellestijn, see below. Greetings of Nico from Gouda, the Netherlands. Hallo iedereen.

I thought Caroline was at its best in the seventies and Andy Archer and Tony Allan were the finest broadcasters she ever had.

I'm here to be corrected of course, but wasn't Tony Allen or maybe Andy Archer a serial exposer on the ships at sea, usually when an unsuspecting DJ was mid 'link'...?

We recently had a discussion on Anorak nation as to how many of the 1980's Caroline DJs had made it 'big' in radio.

I feel guilty that I haven't been recording Colin Berry, Andy Archer, and Trevor Nelson. I will now record them as much as I can.
