Iz pisma jedne slušateljice (Antonija Tkalčić o Tomislavu Tkalčiću)
Prvi put sam čula radio 1929. godine u siječnju za velike zime, kad je živa pala na 29 stupnjeva ispod ništice. Zbog zime nismo mogli iz kuće. Škole su bile zatvorene. Ja sam bila sama sa dječakom, podstanarom. Bilo nam je toplo u sobi, a dječaku, kojem je bilo 12 godina, bilo je dosadno. Ja sam sjedila kod stola i čitala, a dječaku sam dopustila, da se igra kako zna. Tu počinje radio-priča! Dječak je donio svoju kutiju, u kojoj je imao nešto rublja, svoje školske knjige i igračke. On je po toj kutiji nešto motao i prtljao, a ja čitam. Na to me zapita: „Smijem li donijeti u sobu ljestve?“ „Možeš.“ On je dovukao ljestve. Malo je ušla zima u sobu, ali je opet bilo dobro. Vuče on ljestve po sobi i penje se do stropa. Nešto je zabijao gore, ali kako sam odlučila u proljeću obojadisati sobu, mislila sam: neka zabija! Već je pala rana zimska noć, a moj Tomica počne spremati sve na svoje mjesto. Opet odvuče ljestve na hodnik i zatim dođe plaho k meni sa strane.
„Stavite, teta, na uho ovo, načinio sam vam radio pa ćete lijepo čitati i slušati muziku.“ „No dobro, Tomica, ajde da se igramo radio“, mislim. Moram prekinuti čitanje, da se s njim malo poigram. I stavljam slušalice na uho, a on me gleda sjajnim očima. Ne mogu nikakvim riječima opisati to moje čuvstvo, kad sam čula iz slušalice ljudske riječi i poslije glazbu.
„Tomica! Što si to učinio i kako? – i stanem gledati po sobi. On je na strop povukao dva reda metalne žice, na jedan mali stolić stavio detektor s kristalom i spojio slušalice koje je meni predao. Stao mi je to tumačiti i napokon me nekako naučio kako se postupa s kristalom. Evo, dijete je načinilo prvi radio. Poslije mi je sve to prenio i u spavaću sobu, da mogu slušati navečer. Ta sreća, što sam imala radio, ne da se opisati. Sav moj život se preokrenuo uz taj prvi radio.

Fifty years ago today, to the day and to the time, Monday August 14th, 1967, from 3pm in the afternoon, almost all the Pirate Radio Stations, bar one, closed down, one or two had already gone on that day and all the others had gone by midnight. Radio London, 266m, closed at 3pm on that afternoon and I was sat listening in the 'studio' at 'Radio Caroline West', more on this later, as Paul Kay one of the 'Big L' disc jockeys proclaimed 'Big L time is three o'clock and Radio London is now closing down'. The weather forecast just before this was also delivered by Paul Kaye, '... there will be fresh southerly winds and there is an unsettled outlook for tomorrow'; very prosaic.

Radio Caroline flouted d the new law which came into force at midnight on this day in 1967 and chose to isolate themselves from the UK which meant the DJ's couldn't come back here and advertising revenue and supplies had to be sought from abroad. American, 'Billy Graham' type religious programmes were a vital mainstay to keep the finances coming in to operate the MV Mi Amigo, Caroline's southern ship anchored off Walton-on-the-Naze/Clacton in the Thames Estuary and Radio Caroline North, the MV Frederica anchored in Ramsey Bay off the Isle of Man. Today, Monday 14th 2017, Manx Radio on 1368kHz medium wave are hosting a 5-day extravaganza along with Radio Caroline which is now aboard the ship MV Ross Revenge and anchored on the River Blackwater in Essex and is back on the air again, see-

they are playing music from the era and have to say that not all of it is good! According to the schedule, there is a commemorative program starting at 14:00hrs BST - 'Live from the Ross Revenge' and there are other features as well during the 5-day remembrance programming. A a small tribute to 'Caroline', Ronan O'Rahilly's pirate radio ship and after Radio Atlanta, was the 1st fully successful off-shore, i.e. in International waters beyond the 3 mile limit of the UK authorities, had to get some rail-related content in and here nine shots of the Network Rail Staff coach, 'Caroline, out and about drawn along by various class 37 locomotives on the local network around south Yorkshire-

The three sets of mosaic pictures shown here are from my archives from 1966-1968, when I was an avid pirate radio fan and listened to them all, a full list of these is, along with other details, is given in the last, 3rd, set of pictures along with a news clipping regarding why the then postmaster general, Ted Short, under the labour governments telecommunications minister, Anthony Wedgwood Benn, had decided to close the station down. This 1st set of 5 pictures shows the covers from the 3 books which were purchased in August 1967, 'Radio Caroline', by John Venmore Roland, Paul Harris's book, 'When Pirates Ruled the Waves' published in 1968 and Adrian Johns 'Death of a Pirate', published in 2011. All very well written and all give varying accounts of the different facets of the era; the last 'Death of a Pirate', probably the most useful history of it all, well after its 'heyday'. At lower right, own up time. Being a bit of a whizz with electronics, something which has stood me in good stead over the years, particularly in my last job at the Australian National University, a couple of pictures, the only two, of my radio studio at my parent house in Rotherham, in 1966. Those were the days of the 'Practicals' - Wireless and Electronics, and TV followed as well. So, building a low power transmitter and obtained a crystal to operate on medium wave, yikes!, the crude and dated setup was used to broadcast music in about a 1 mile radius of the transmitter; a pole sat atop a flat-roofed bungalow, now, since 2013, sadly demolished and also 50 years since its construction by 'Fred Moncaster, my grandfather the builder and featured here a short time ago, see-

the name was chosen, craftily, so the existing Carline North or South radio 'jingles' could be used which were recorded onto magnetic tape using the Grunding TK20 tape recorder. The 'studio' was equipped with a 'transcription unit' as they were called by professionals, this one was lifted out of a 'Dansette record player' which at this time had become a less useful piece of domestic family equipment! To the left of the Grunding tape machine a home-made 4-channel mixing console with master fader, bass and tone controls. Announcements were made on a cheap Sennheiser microphone supported by an extendable rod clamped to a lab retort stand with 2 large, weighty, circular TV magnets on the stands base to stop it toppling over! Behind the microphone, a valve amplifier for the microphone. Out of shot to the left, beyond the LP cover and a picture of my future wife!, the homemade transmitter built bread-board style with the crystal tuned to around 227m if memory serves correctly. The LP covers on display, of course no CDs or MP3s, were Bernstein's version of '2001 A Space Odyssey' at the back above the tape machine and poking from under it, 'Disraeli Gears' by Cream, behind the microphone, the Incredible String Band's 'The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter' and over on the left, 'On the Threshold of a Dream', by the Moody Blues... not a bad set from 1967! The state of the 'studio furnishings' is clear to see! at lower right, the DJ himself in residence, there were two of us, the other, an old school chum, Mike Taylor who had the 'Saturday morning slot'. Head phones and speaking live from Caroline West, 'Grant Walker', think this IS too much information, the name chosen to again reflect the name of one of Caroline South's DJs, Johnnie Walker, and still going, though now on BBC Radio Two. Here the DJ can be seen cueing up a piece on the tape deck, probably recorded from the BBC afternoon pop programme presented by 'Fluff', Alan Freeman, 'Pick Of The Pops', and the stuff recorded in lively fashion to avoid any over-voicing or 'Fluff' coming in before the end what was usually no more than 2-2.5 minutes of music; John Peel's 'Top Gear' programme, from 3-5pm, the two hour slot just before 'Pick of the Pops', was a completely different matter in terms of the length of the music he played. In front of the woollen jumpered DJ, no central heating or double-glazing in those days, the Grunding microphone is in action as well as the 'studio mike' and in between the two LP covers seen earlier is a copy of Bob Dylan's 'Greatest Hits'... What more can I say... Guilty!

Speech Broadcasting Building - Building 86 (A/M Drg No: 10786/41)
These buildings were commonly found on the airfields Technical Site, often in the vicinity of the Control Tower (Watch Office) and comprised a small blast-proof building housing the amplifying equipment for the Tannoy System used for operational instructions to be given clearly, rapidly and simultaneously to Personnel at dispersal points and other distant parts of the airfield. Microphones placed in the main operational buildings, the Operations Block, Control Tower or Watch Office and the Battle Headquarters, these were all connected to the Speech Broadcasting Building, from which cables running within pipes were connected to an average of 150 loudspeakers dotted around the airfield.
RAF Snetterton Heath Airfield, was built in 1942 and during the World War Two it was used by the U.S.A.A.F Eighth Air Force, USAAF Station 138 and was the home-base for these American Bombers, the twin-engined B-26 Marauder and the Heavy Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress. In November 1945 the airfield was abandoned by the Americans and in 1948 it was deserted, the former Airfield was converted into Snetterton Motor Racing Circuit. In many instances, much of the airfield will have been demolished in the intervening years, and returned to agriculture, or converted into an industrial estate, eventually to fade from the landscape altogether, but hopefully will remain a little longer in the memory of those who served there. The bases were home to brave young men and women who served the Allied Forces flying Fighters and Bombers from the runways of the Airfield, sometimes never to return.

1. I am thankful for getting better at respecting my own time. I had a cancelled appointment this morning but already had stuff in my queue with which to do! :) It also makes me limit time I spend on tasks which significantly increases my ability to focus. What tactics do you use to respect your own time? Enquiring minds want to know!! ;)
2. I am thankful for the time I spend by myself. Spending time by myself means not having to explain myself when I blurt out, “It’s a BOOLEAN!” while doing the supper dishes! :) What idiosyncrasies do you have when you are alone? :)
3. I am thankful for finishing, framing, photographing and wrapping a piece on Tuesday.
4. I am thankful for identifying that one thing that holds me back from Biggification and allowing people any opportunity to enjoy my art is that I feel anxious about getting too wrapped up in Biggification that I could/would get sick .. and umm I can’t even say it .. about my transplant. This allowed me to put health in the forefront of my personal manifesto which currently consists of three words ( / Gratitude / make art / health / ) in a circle with two-way arrows. Identifying the elephant in the room has been refreshing. :)
5. I am thankful for reminding myself why I write the thankful lists! To remind myself that I do have (and maybe am much) to be thankful for. Gratitude lists also distract me when I become too enthralled with my own belly button lint.
6. I am thankful that you can never step into the same river twice.
7. I am thankful for finding more excuses to walk and smile - often at the same time! ;)
8. I am really thankful for beautiful writing books with unassuming black covers and smooth unlined paper that I can write and draw on with lovely felt pens that are able to last much longer. Do you have a favourite place and/or way to write? :)
9. I am thankful for Lindsay recommending Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia. It has some lovely kernels of wisdom that I identify with AND, like every really good book, it made me laugh, cry and think! :) What really great books have you read? What drew you to the book?
10. I am seriously thankful for the people that blog what they need to communicate (their art) accessibly and are finding sustainable ways to help other people make their own art. Without their help I don’t know that I would have re-started making my own art, continued practising making photos or written anything publicly. They demonstrate that you can make your art, whatever that is, you can find a way. It can take LOT of work but it can be done!! :)
11. I am thankful for people (OK! it was one person!) that sent me stuff like this art making video and this letter to The Kidbecause it made me feel better and inspired me. (They also made me cry dang it.) I am thankful for posting a link to an audio file that helped some people feel better. :) What were you able to do to help someone feel (even) better? Did someone do something that made you feel better (even) better? What was it, did you let the person(s) know?
Thank you for reading. If you don’t feel like leaving a comment to answer any or all of the questions feel free to send a telepathic message, I believe my receptor should be up and running again! ;)

Culture Secretary will outline how independence can boost £400 million sector.
Culture Secretary Fiona Hyslop will today set out how the additional powers of an independent Scotland could support increased TV and film production and help the economy.
Radio and TV production currently employs 3,200 people and had a turnover of £400 million in 2011. However, Ms Hyslop is expected to highlight that the sector in Ireland employs over 6,000 individuals, with Ireland’s RTÉ national broadcaster alone employing almost 2,000 people, against 1,200 employed by the BBC in Scotland – demonstrating what more could be achieved with full control of financial powers.
In a speech to the Royal Television Society in Glasgow, Ms Hyslop will highlight the Scottish Government’s commitment to not only continue, but to build upon current tax incentives for the industry in an independent Scotland.
Ms Hyslop will say:
“Our radio and broadcasting sector is a £400 million industry of enormous importance to Scotland and employs 3,200 people – as well as the many self-employed and freelance staff vital to the sector. And in addition to TV and radio, we also know that the film and video sector are enormously valuable.
“The Scottish Government values the contribution that filmmaking, animation and television production make to Scotland’s rich cultural life with public sector investment in support for the screen sector, across production, education, training and exhibition, increasing to £21 million in 2012-13.
“We have consistently championed Scotland as a location for international film and TV productions and we work hard to ensure Scotland is widely recognised for its world-class talent, crews, facilities and breath taking locations. Scottish Ministers are firmly committed to supporting a sustained increase in production.
“Scotland is a creative and dynamic country and we must be ambitious to do more. Our sector lags behind that of nations comparable in size, such as Ireland and Finland.
“Of course, creating a Scottish Broadcasting Service will do much to address this. But we can and must do much more.
“When you examine the support given in other countries, the potential of Governmental support to encourage the sector is clear. For example, it is telling that in the face of the economic difficulties of the last few years, Ireland has not just maintained but progressively strengthened its support for the sector and continues to do so. In fact, next year it will increase its support still further.
“We are already taking the action we can to support the industry under present constitutional arrangements – we are currently considering a number of proposals for developing and operating a Scottish film studio.
“But with the powers of independence we could do much more for this vital industry. Independence would change broadcasting for the better, both for the industry and for the public.”
