Offshore
Radio in the 21st century !!
Yes, we
are doing it again! After having challenged history by anchoring a radio
ship 8 miles out in the high seas last year, we are going to do it again
in 2009 !!!
One of
the only two radio ships left in the world, the LV Jenni Baynton, will
be anchoring in the Wadden sea off Holland from May 20th till June 6th.
Mind you, this is not a private owned ship temporarily fitted out as a
radio ship, this is a real genuine radio ship. Radio seagull (together
with her sister station Radio Waddenzee) broadcast on the Medium Wave,
1602 AM. The ship, home of both stations, is usually moored alongside a
pier in a small Dutch seaport called Harlingen. Once a year the ship is
towed out at sea, manned with DJ's and engineers and broadcasts using
the ship's transmitter. The land site, from which we usually
broadcast, is switched off for the occasion.
When the
ship is out, you can arrange for a tendervisit. How many chances do you
think you'll get to actually visit a transmitting radio ship in your
life? This might be the last chance to actually experience the feeling
we all know so well from the 60's, 70's, 80's and a bit of the 90's! If
you want to come over, please send an email to
radioseagull@home.nl ,
call 0031-628 34 97 78 and leave name and number or send a text
message.

Meet and
greet the staff. Tour the ship and see the transmitter, the huge aerial
mast and, of course, the studio's. Make your reservation NOW! |
