One of my favourite stations at the moment is Offshore Radio. They played Leonard Cohen this morning,what other station would play this kind of stuff,brilliant, except,possibly Caroline,who do play some exceptional album tracks and Seagull who do try to promote 'new' music jus like the old pirates used to do and RNI in whatever form,plays some cracking stuff
Yes I love this station as well - I put the sound from my pc onto my old valve radio (ear-phone plug into record-player jack) - and,,, - violà, - you're back in the good old times http://offshoreradiosounds.tk/

When my old valve radio was working, many years ago, I used to take the line output from my stereo VHF (FM) reciever and put that into the "Gram" input of the Pye, what a nice difference!

We'd been talking about getting your old valve radio back to work - I've just had another one of my collection fixed for 300.- Krc (12.- €) in Jicin/CZ - a radio from 1933

only the guy in Jicin can find out and fix it at a reasonable price or you find s.o via forum or at your place - but I think time + Fedex would be a better and saver choice - not sure when I will go there next time but this friend of mine is coming to Munich pretty often as well . You also can send the radio directly to that friend of mine ... and he will bring the radio to that repair-guy to have it fixed.
At present listening to history of offshore at christmas with the DJs on Caroline,London singing carols to their listeners....those were the days...wonderful. I must say this station has greatly improved over the last few months. It is nice to hear djs talking and entertaining you.

This is the station alec.....I tried to cut and paste the banner but no luck but I know a man who can... alec... he he.... it is very colourful....hope you enjoy the station
Its easy to do BigAL - well I do it with FireFox - as I use the German version I hope to get the terms right ... 1) right mouseclick on banner > click: show graphics info > (widget opens) > copy "address" by highlightening and pressing Crtl+C keys on key-board 2) Go to thread on forum > within the last entry click 'answer' > new posting widget opens > click picture icon on top right side >copy the saved file-url by pressing Ctrl + V keys (cursor in between [*img]..[*/img] ) in open posting-widget
Try to copy banner (on here) into your first entry by right-mouseclick as I told you above. (I am not sure if editing is still possible after a certain time though)
