"Now my life is sweet like cinnamon
Like a fucking dream I'm living in
Baby love me cause I'm playing on the radio
(How do you like me now?)
Pick me up and take me like a vitamin
'Cause my body's sweet like sugar venom oh yeah
Baby love me cause I'm playing on the radio
(How do you like me now?)"

December, 1980, film scan.
This was back in the day, a day when there were no CDs, computers, or mp3s. Just LPs and tape carts. The DJ (that's me) would cue up the next record by matching the end of one with the beginning of the next, similar to what is still done today at some clubs. We knew how to create the carts and promos, splice promo tapes, patch in live telephone calls, create seven second delays, and even operate the transmitter. To achieve this level of mastery one had to have enough technical knowledge to pass challenging FCC (Federal Communications Commission) written tests and then wait for approval. I took mine in a federal building on Varick Street in New York City.
And that's the way it was.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
A radio tower? More like a lightning rod in this weather. But I'm told this tower is linked to the Tamar Wetlands, and is used to monitor and transmit signals from the 60 species of birds and animals that have been tagged for scientific purposes.
Former radio station Radio Kootwijk is a monumental building with a special history, in which connection is central. The building is architecturally unique, in its special Art Deco style.
Architect Julius Luthmann was commissioned in 1920 to build a hall for the large dynamo of long-wave radio transmission equipment. The desolate sand drift near Apeldoorn lent itself well to an interference-free transmitter. Luthmann was not allowed to use wood and iron, so it was made entirely of concrete. In the rich Netherlands of those days, no more or less was looked at. The design has been worked out to perfection and finished in Art Deco down to the last detail.
History:
At the start of the twentieth century, the Netherlands was a trading nation with extensive overseas territories. Its interests were served by a quick connection to the colonies, especially the Dutch East Indies. Direct communication took place by way of electric telegrams, which required cable connections. Prior to this, the Netherlands was dependent on England and Germany. When the First World War broke out the disadvantages of this dependence increased. In 1918, the government decided to realise their own international communication network, independent of the neighbouring countries. After much political debate it was decided to build a long wave transmission station enabling permanent contact with the Dutch East Indies using radio telegraphs.
To establish the radio transmitting station they looked for an uninhabited, remote terrain so there would be minimum interference to the transmission traffic from the environment. The 450 hectare terrain was bought by the Dutch Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management from the Dutch National Forestry Commission.
About 150 labourers from Amsterdam levelled the terrain. The antenna terrain was constructed as a circular plain with a diameter of approximately 1200 metres, a ring of five 212 metre high masts around a central mast at the foot of the transmitter building. The radio transmission centre was officially put into operation in May 1923, initially for Morse telegraph traffic. The developments in radio technology advanced rapidly. After a few years it became apparent that the long wave connections were outdated and too expensive. They switched to a short wave frequency for a higher signalling rate, better connections, lower energy consumption and smaller equipment.
The station initially operated under the name Radio Assel, but also became known under the name Radio Hoog Buurlo. 'Kootwijk Radio' was the international call sign for radio traffic. Queen Emma brought about the first telephone connection in 1929 with the Dutch East Indies with the legendary words: “Hello Bandoeng Hello Bandoeng! Can you hear me?". The first conversations, which invariably concluded with the Dutch national anthem Wilhelmus, were free as it was still in an experimental phase. Subsequently, people had to pay considerable amounts for a phone call to family members overseas. The PTT (state enterprise for Post, Telegraphs and Telephony of the Netherlands) tried to interest the public in overseas phone calls through advertising. Cheap family phone calls, only on Saturdays with 30% discount off the normal rates cost f 21 in those days for a three minute call to Java, for example. In those days the average weekly salary was f 25.

Again, I apologize for being away so much with work.
It won't be long now and I will be back in Flickr world with a vengeance!! :-)
Radio garden... - A horrific history is circulating online of this complex but let's keep it cheerful.... (if you really want to know more than search for "Kent school").... On the top floor of this abandoned complex where everything else was empty we found this room. A little staged but still nice to see. Certainly how nature slowly takes everything back... Amazing

The former trawler became the home to Radio Caroline in 1983 and is now moored in the Blackwater Estuary. Radio Caroline made its name as a pirate radio station in the early 1960s when there were no legal music channels - its original vessel was the Mi Amigo anchored off Felixstowe.

Radio Kootwijk stond al jaren op mijn Bucket-list en eindelijk is het er dan van gekomen.
Na anderhalf jaar weer een dagje weg met fotovrienden. Het "normale" leven begint langzaam weer realiteit te worden.
Het Art Deco gebouw van Julius Luthman is indrukwekkend, zowel van binnen als van buiten.
