During the “Pirate” BBC Essex event on the Ha’penny Pier at Harwich in August, Pirate Memories ran two competitions for visitors to our “Flashback 67” exhibition.  

Our first was a ‘transmission area’ competition, where we asked you to use your skill to determine which Offshore radio station broadcast to which area of the United Kingdom.

We’re pleased to announce that the winner with an amazing 10/10 score was: 

Dan Bransby, from Minster-on-Sea, Isle of Sheppey in Kent.

 Below, we show which stations were which:

 Our second competition involved the Emperor Rosko, whom we snapped at the Radio Academy’s “A Celebration of 60’s Offshore Radio” event on August 4^th at the Sugar Reef Club in London.

We pictured him ‘raving’ at our cameraman, whilst carrying a Tesco carrier bag, so the “What’s Rosko Saying” competition was born……..See the Photo:

We had so many really good entries, but we think our winner should be:

 “Yeah – Right On…This is Rosko on Radio T.E.S.C.O., broadcasting everything to everybody…all of the time”

Congrats to: 

Stephen Cooke, of Great Finsborough, Suffolk.

 for your winning entry.

 Both winners get to pick two CD’s each from the Pirate Memories Web-Shop.
