Welcome back to another edition of the international radio report. Today, when I’m starting to edit this edition it’s July 2nd and on that day 57 years ago, a new station came on the air with Dutch language programs. One of the offshore radio stations which had no long life. Radio 227 came from aboard the Laissez Faire, where also during periods Swinging Radio England, Britain Radio, Radio Dolfijn and Radio 355 could be heard. I know readers will have their own opinion about the various stations and their formats. However I want to tell that my favorite stations were Swinging Radio England and Radio 355.

There’s a longer article about Radex TV, a reflection on the interference from RNI. Paul Jackson takes us back on board the Voice of Peace with his memories and there’s a long wished answer about ‘what happened to the 1 million guilders which Meister and Bollier wanted to give back to Veronica in 1971 but which was refused.

Also this time a lot of e mails came in during the past two months, from which I will mention a few. We have lot of memories, questions and more and a special about a weekend for celebrating in the Netherlands with the topic ’50 years Radio Mi Amigo’, as well a sad lost, the passing of Paul May.
