For those of us of a certain age, growing up in England and Ireland in the 1950s, a radio station far away in Europe ā yet somehow broadcasting into our living rooms here at home ā was the pinnacle of our entertainment.
Radio Luxembourg broadcast on 208 metres on the medium wave. And though it faded frequently and the sound was distorted, we were hooked. The signal was so weak that we could hardly receive it until the evening because of the all-important meteorological conditions ā including darkness itself. But then we were rewarded with pop music of the day introduced by very familiar names ā disc jockeys and presenters moonlighting from the BBC.
Many listeners believed that these stars ā the likes of Pete Murray, Jimmy Young, David Jacobs, Barry Alldis, Sam Costa, Jack Jackson and Alan Freeman ā were broadcasting from the Grand Duchy. But in fact they recorded their programmes here at 38 Hertford Street, Mayfair, and the programmes were transmitted from Luxembourg.
Another exciting aspect of Radio Luxembourg was that it was a commercial station. But then, in 1964, along came the āpirate stationsā led by Radio Caroline and Radio London (āBig Lā). Their signal strengths were stronger, the jingles catchier, and a new wave of DJs took over: Kenny Everett and Dave Cash ('Kenny and Cash'), Tony Blackburn, Noel Edmunds, Tommy Vance, Duncan Johnson, Emperor Rosko, Johnny Walker. Advertisers flocked to them and the sounds of broadcasting were changed for ever.
In 1967 everything changed again. The pirates were banned by the British government, and in their place the BBC launched Radio 1. In due course Radio Luxembourg faded into irrelevance, and today, all thatās left of its ground-breaking presence in London is a plaque on a wall. But for teenagers like me, it was fun while it lasted ā even though the signal ebbed and flowed, and they never played a record to its full length!

While driving through Livinston, Montana I happened upon this amazing historic building that used to be home to KPRK radio station. The building is now empty and for sale. Wouldn't this old place make a great business or even a home?
Here is some history on the building:
"Previous formats included country, Saturday night Rock and Roll, and Sunday morning Big Band. During the weekdays a segment of the afternoon shift was dedicated to local callers to hawk their goods with free advertising through the "Swap Shop" segment. Broadcasts started around 5:30AM local time with the broadcast day ending at midnight. KPRK also broadcast local high school sports, rodeos and fairs. Several locals were also familiar faces or voices on the station for many years. KPRK also broadcast local news three times a day with the local court report during that time. KPRK staff received several awards for their news contributions to the Montana AP for news reports gathered during 1999. The former country music slogan was "Cool Country 1340 KPRK". The station also featured an uninterrupted "Cool Country Triple Play" where two newer songs were played followed by a "Hit from Yesterday", otherwise known as a country classic." -Wikipedia

Yesterday evening I went back to Radio Kootwijk. But I was not alone, in my bag I had my own army of toy knights! I used multiple flashes for this shot, inside the building the light was on. But the outside was lit with old Metz 402 flashes, old but still working!
I hope you like it!
This scan is from a small photo in the Encore yearbook for 1978. That's a rack of carts in the background where all the jingles and promos were stored on the radio version of 8 track tapes. Those square headphones are so 1970s!
Radio was completely analog back them. No automation computers like today. You had to know how to back-queue records, fire them up at just the right moment after a jingle, talk them up to the vocal, remove the previous record, get the next tune ready for airplay and think of something clever to say. You also had to handle the phones for requests and write an entry in a log of the songs you played. It took work and experience to make everything sound completely seamless and effortless. I loved every second of it!

I have been meaning to take a T to Bayview and walk up to Bayview Park on Bayview (or Candlestick) Hill since I moved to San Francisco. Originally, I wanted to get photographs of Candlestick Park before it was razed (in 2015), but I never got around to it. I found out today, though, that there is no clear view of it from the park, so in a certain sense, my procrastination has been vindicated. Maybe if I were to climb down the eastern slope a bit it would be possible, but... risk. Anyway, I walked the entire footpath of the hill, which, I was glad to find, is without any development, except for this building. In 1934, William Randolph Hearst bought radio station KYA (now KSFB) and commissioned Julia Morgan to design a new transmitter building and studio, which began operation three years later.
In doing some quick research about the hill, it has been interesting to have a few of my interests intersect... one of my regular (pre-Covid) clients held its annual meeting in the Julia Morgan Ballroom at the Merchants Exchange Building downtown, which was designed by Daniel Burnham, who co-designed one of my favourite buildings in the world, the Flatiron (Fuller) Building in New York City, and was the Director of Works of Chicago's 1892ā93 World's Columbian Exposition, subject of one of my favourite books, The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson. Burnham, by the way, proposed Bayview Hill as parkland (as Visitacion Park) in his 1905 Burnham Plan for San Francisco which, due to the city's rush to rebuild the city after the 1906 earthquake, was never enacted.
After descending the hill, I came across a crow lying on the steps at Third and Key Streets. At first, I thought it was dead, but as I got closer to look, it started moving and appeared injured. It struggled to get away from me and eventually flapped its way to the sidewalk. I called animal rescue services and got through on the emergency line. The woman asked me if there were any other birds around and I told her that there weren't. I asked if she wanted me to send her a photo of it and she gave me a mobile number so that I could do that.
She said she'd call me back after taking a look. As I was sending the photos, though, a crow started cawing from the palm tree just above me, then flew to a utility pole across the street with a second crow. I got a text back from the animal rescue woman telling me it was a baby crow, at which point I told her about the two crows that had arrived. She said it was probably best to leave it alone, that the two crows were likely its parents, and that they would take care of things. It was difficult to walk away from the bird, though. I feared that some heartless bastard would come by and do something to it. As I walked away, the two crows seemed to be making sure I was gone, but then flew off appearing to chase another couple of crows away. Because the smaller bird was up against a wall on the sidewalk and wasn't making a sound, I'm not even sure that its parents knew where it was. I hope it all worked out.

Crosley - A Fine Car.
This mural is located in the parking lot of the American Sign Museum in the Camp Washington area of Cincinnati.
Powel Crosley Jr. owned WLW and the broadcast building in the mural is the Crosley Building, which became the most powerful station in the world. He also purchased the Cincinnati Reds. Their stadium became Crosley Field. WLW became the first radio station to regularly broadcast baseball play-by-play. And he ran a major car company as well.
Staying at a hotel in Powell River BC the other day. On the ground floor of the hotel building there were some commercial units, one was occupied by a local radio station 95.7 Coast FM, which had the above poster printed on their door. I find this kind of neat!
Radio Kootwijk is een voormalig zenderpark dat in de eerste helft van de 20ste eeuw een belangrijke communicatieverbinding vormde tussen Nederland en zijn toenmalige koloniƫn, met name Nederlands-Indiƫ. Het werd gebouwd vanaf 1918. Ook werden er voor werknemers woningen gebouwd, die samen het gelijknamige dorp gingen vormen.
Paired with St Eval. The large circle is a Plessey Pusher Circularly Disposed Antenna Array. It used Wullenweber technology, developed by the German navy communication research command, Nachrichtenmittelversuchskommando (NVK) and Telefunken during World War II. It is part of the Defence High Frequency Communications System or DHFCS which operates strategic British and NATO air and ship to show long-range broadcasting known as Terrestrial Air Sea Communications or TASCOMM.

The BT Radio Station situated at Fairseat near Culverstone Green on the North Downs in Kent.
The tower use to be part of the long distance BT radio microwave link network carrying phone calls and other telecom traffic across the South East from the main BT Tower in Central London to the channel link tower at Tolsford Hill near Folkestone.
This tower at Fairseat had the same done to it as Tolsford Hill when Fibre Optic technology took over and the tower was virtually stripped naked of all its Microwave Link Dishes that once occupied both faces of the structure.
Today most of the antennas on the structure are for the use of Mobile Phone Network operators such as O2, Vodafone, Orange and T-Mobile.
Fairseat was linked to the Tolsford Hill BT Tower via another site at Flimwell in the Bedgebury Forest and was a direct Line Of Site linking it to the famous London BT Tower.
The WESC Foundation is a specialist day and residential centre offering a unique experience for young people and adults with visual impairment including complex needs. They run a radio station called VI Radio - I do quite a bit of photography and video work with them - You can see Tom West, VI Radio presenter in the background.
