Yes & l still miss them now in 2024 August the 14 was the day in 1967 when the pirates closed down, it was a sad day in my life, l was listening on my small radio & l heard the man behind the microphone switching off and that was the End of the pirate ship Radio Scotland.
Calling you on 242 from the vessel .The Comet where household names became more than the norm,tried tested and trusted,their craft honed to perfection and notoriety.
Those WERE the days! They really WERE! Yes, we actually ARE allowed to finally hear pop music now, and people think it must have been crazy if that wasn't the case till Radio One, when the prime minister FORCED the stuffy B.B.C. To come up with Radio One! But it was fun to think you were doing something "naughty" to listen to the illegal pop music stations! They only were illegal, because the government refused to give them licences to broadcast! Seems crazy now, and it seemed crazy THEN! That's because it WAS! DEEJAYENPS
@@nygelmiller5293 im a kiwi and us kiwis had to deal with the NZBC back in the 60's. i was born after the 60s but the people of that time remember when radio hauraki broadcasted off of the 3 mile limit of the gulf on the tiri's 1 and 2.
@@redeye_ thanks for replying, Red Eye! It was particularly exciting for me in London when I was a boy, that there some wartime forts off the coast, that looked like oilrigs. They had been abandoned, but made into a radio station, called Radio City. Probably because they broadcast to the City of London? They used to play an hour of the Beatles music late afternoon followed by an hour of the rival Rolling Stones music, the next day! I lived the Rolling Stones, and couldn't wait to rush home, to hear THEM! They really were the BEST days, and I came along to experience them! I wouldn't trade those times for anything, and the following 1970's, when I started WORK, because there actually were enough JOBS then. I worked in London, and was able to buy the latest fashions, which all came from ENGLAND - not from FRANCE, which had got stuck in the past, and got old fashioned. If you like classic fancy cars, it would correspondingly have been best to grow up in AMERICA in the 1950's , when their cars had all those fancy FINS on them, and so on!
I always listened to the pirate radio station Radio Scotland they were so great back in those days, l miss them.
