The Wolfman Jack Show on 6055 kHz shortwave at 21.30 to 22.30 UTC from KBC RADIO
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 good-times" 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 21.30 to 22.30 UTC.
"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."
Wolfman Jack has been dead for over ten years, but during his long stint as King of the Airwaves beaming 1960's music across the USA from a station over the border in Mexico, he amassed a huge archive of recordings of the show. It's these tapes, carefully edited, that are being rebroadcast by the Lithuanian station, calling itself "The Mighty KBC."
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 the USA, Asia, 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. Give it a shot, guys like Eric need some support!
