This short history and accompanying pages contain the most accurate
information I can find or extrapolate and is derived from a
large number of sources. Not unsurprisingly many accounts are
contradictory and, where I have found this to be the case, I
have taken the point of greatest consensus. For this reason
I can't take any responsibility for the ( hopefully few ) inaccuracies
but I would, of course, be absolutely delighted to be able to
change any incorrect statements if you would take the trouble
to email me and substantiate it with some documented or verifiable
evidence.
There are a large number of facts and dates involved and to
keep the work reasonably short they are presented in a kind
of staccato diary format. It does tend to jump forward and backward
in time just a little bit in places, but only in an attempt
to make the thing more readable and to give a better understanding
of what was going on.

In
researching it, I certainly got quite confused a number of times
about particular chains of events and have tried to solve that
problem for you. Even so, it is still occasionally updated.....
The list of Disc Jockeys is, I am sure, considerably larger
than the one I have assembled. If you can help add to it I would
be happy to get an e-mail from you, likewise any information
about the offshore forts.
Lastly, the history strays slightly either side of the Sixties.
It seemed a shame not to document it from the start as it was
so close to the Sixties, neither did it end in 1969 - Pirate
Radio Lives! |

Copyrights
Historical facts, in themselves, are not subject to copyright but there
are only so many ways of saying the same thing. I have tried to take
particular care to present the events in my own words so as not to infringe,
as far as I know, on anyone else's hard work or copyright. I reserve
the copyright for ALL original text on these pages. If you want to reproduce
any of it by whatever means, please ask first - I'll probably say yes
- but it would be nice to know where it is going!
I have no
information regarding copyright contacts for any pictures appearing
here - I have seen most of them in various locations with no copyright
contact information. I am using them to illustrate the articles purely
for interest and fan purposes with no intention of financial gain, but
if I have upset anyone through their use, please advise me and I will
either remove them or be only too pleased to give credit to the copyright
owner if that is acceptable. Radio station names (I assume) and logos
remain the copyright of the particular owners. Again, I only reproduce
them for interest purposes and the same condition applies. To anyone
who does hold copyrights on any of these and lets them stay on here,
a very big THANK YOU! I would also like to pay tribute to the authors
of the many excellent books and web sites I have looked at while putting
this together as I can now appreciate, even if only to a small extent,
the amount of work involved.
I hope you get as much pleasure from reading it as I did in researching
and assembling it.
