This short history and accompanying pages contain the most
accurate information I can find or extrapolate and is derived
from a large number of sources. Not unsurprisingly many accounts
are contradictory and, where I have found this to be the case,
I have taken the point of greatest consensus. For this reason
I can't take any responsibility for the ( hopefully few )
inaccuracies but I would, of course, be absolutely delighted
to be able to change any incorrect statements if you would
take the trouble to email me and substantiate it with some
documented or verifiable evidence.
There are a large number of facts and dates involved and to
keep the work reasonably short they are presented in a kind
of staccato diary format. It does tend to jump forward and
backward in time just a little bit in places, but only in
an attempt to make the thing more readable and to give a better
understanding of what was going on.

In
researching it, I certainly got quite confused a number of
times about particular chains of events and have tried to
solve that problem for you. Even so, it is still occasionally
updated.....
The list of Disc Jockeys is, I am sure, considerably larger
than the one I have assembled. If you can help add to it I
would be happy to get an e-mail from you, likewise any information
about the offshore forts.
Lastly, the history strays slightly either side of the Sixties.
It seemed a shame not to document it from the start as it
was so close to the Sixties, neither did it end in 1969 -

Copyrights
Historical facts, in themselves, are not subject to copyright but there
are only so many ways of saying the same thing. I have tried to take
particular care to present the events in my own words so as not to infringe,
as far as I know, on anyone else's hard work or copyright. For the same
reason, I reserve the copyright for ALL original text on these pages.
If you want to reproduce any of it by whatever means, please ask first
- I'll probably say yes - but it would be nice to know where it is going!
I have no
information regarding copyright contacts for any pictures appearing
here - I have seen most of them in various locations with no copyright
contact information. I am using them to illustrate the articles purely
for interest and fan purposes with no intention of financial gain, but
if I have upset anyone through their use, please advise
me and I will either remove them or be only too pleased to give
credit to the copyright owner if that is acceptable. Radio station names
(I assume) and logos remain the copyright of the particular owners.
Again, I only reproduce them for interest purposes and the same condition
applies. To anyone who does hold copyrights on any of these and lets
them stay on here, a very big THANK YOU! I would also like to pay tribute
to the authors of the many excellent books and web sites I have looked
at while putting this together as I can now appreciate, even if only
to a small extent, the amount of work involved.
I hope you get as much pleasure from reading it as I did in researching
and assembling it.
