But there was a lot of Talent on board - Debbie England was my Fav.
I should add Freddie that anorak's everywhere will fondly remember this little station, sad to say it but before I discovered this oasis of knowledge I even posted this tale on the Garry Squiffy Wiffy DXer Stevens joke board years ago, needless to say I never post there now but do look at from time to time to see what the moronic moron is doing.
For the last week of Atlantis the English service ran during the day which was great timing for me as my parents had hired a houseboat on Oulton broad Norfolk and the normally weak signal in South London was a lot better meaning you could listen to it on a portable radio without bits of wire going round the picture rail and then dangling outside for a few metres like a second washing line.
After the final hour a short jingle played "that's all folks" and I watched the s meter on the radio for a few seconds then the carrier cut and the s meter fell back to nothing, happy memories but sad as well, I hope your audio clip includes the "that's all folks" bit at the end as I haven't listened to it yet!
I wonder if anyone remembers this little Offshore station, off the Dutch coast, that started life, on the Mi Amigo, & then their own ship, until the Dutch MOA came in. Any memories, or did you work on it?
Here is their final hour.
