The Dutch radio-pirate Eric van Willegen gave up his illicit broadcasts from high-rise apartments and ships at sea after being raided by the authorities for the 20th time. He is still “bringing on back the goodtimes” of 1960s music by hiring an old Soviet transmitter in Lithuania and rebroadcasting old tapes of The Wolfman Jack Show all over Europe and beyond on 6055 kHz from 10.30 pm London time.
\n“Let the kids listen to pod-eyes and Internet Radio” Eric dictates, “my station is for those of us used to twiddling the knobs and finding good ol’ rock’n’roll in the hiss and whistle of a distant station, that’s all part of it.”
\nEric’s distant station, “The Mighty KBC,” is not to be dismissed as a crank hobby. With 100 kilowatts of radio power and acres of antenna, this former Soviet border-blaster can reachout worldwide. Every Saturday it’s running a test transmission to Australia and New Zealand on 9770 kHz shortwave, from 10.30 to 11.00 UTC, bringing on back The Beatles, Beach Boys and Rolling Stones to Babyboomers who prefer the Transistor to the Internet.
