 As you say, it is a matter of opinion. Although it's not the sole factor, age IS one of the factors.

Alan Milewczyk 06 June 2008 15:46

 I listened in the 70s up until the Dutch MOA, so I don't know if that coincides with the period to which you refer.

Alan Milewczyk 06 June 2008 14:20

From: "Alan Milewczyk" <(Address removed)> Although I was too young (born in 1965) to listen myself, people around here of an older generation do still talk fondly of the station.

Steve Martin 06 June 2008 14:06

Ahoy Hoy I sort agree with Da Guff. I was brought up in the South of England and like many others really felt for the guys on the ships.
