There’s a new Facebook group: SMC’s Facebook Spot
The Media Communication Foundation was founded in August 1978 and from the beginning Rob Olthof and Hans Knot were active within the Foundation. Aim of the foundation, SMC, was to organize all kinds of activities such as video afternoons, productions of LPs and videos about radio history, especially about the stations active from international waters. It should certainly not be forgotten that during the period from 1978 to 2014 dozens of RadioDays were organized by SMC, which mainly attracted international interest.
Also unforgettable are the many boat trips that were made to the offshore broadcasting stations in the seventies and eighties of the last century. More than 50 books on radio history were also published, while since the early 1980s SMC has also been the publisher of the Freewave Media Magazine, which changed its name to Freewave Nostalgia in 2014. A magazine that can be read digitally on the internet for free.
After the death of Rob Olthof, Jan van Heeren joined SMC, something Jan-Fré Vos had done years before.
And now there’s SMC’s Facebook Spot, an own facebook group where many memories of the sea stations and radio history can pass by and the members can also post items themselves. It is also possible to post messages in which they search for books, recordings etc. We wish everyone a lot of fun and as one of the members said: It’s just like a RadioDay but digital. Come and join us as a member!
