Here’s the main inspiration for our next mix “Radio fanatics of the world unite” to be aired on the next broadcast of Free Radio Skybird on March 29th at 1100 UTC on 6070 kHz in the 49 metre band. It’s a clip from a 1970’s Pirate Radio TV special featuring the legendary Radio Jackie.
There’s some brilliant footage here (no sound for the first few seconds though): the correct way to use a catapult to get an antenna up, denim a go-go, a demonstration of how not to get maximum power out of a sledgehammer, some brilliant barnets, sunglasses and clothes, fags on the go and nice walkie-talkies! We love the bit about the security of the station: “Behind every tree, under every bush, young men use walkie talkies to foil their own particular yellow peril”. Big up Radio Jackie!
