Moin Moin,

diese interessante Meldung habe ich gerade im Newsflash von
www.offshore-radio.de gefunden. Das ist übrigens eine sehr gute Seite
für die Freunde der Seesender.

Tschüß,

We are pleased to relay this press release from RNI:
On March 28th 2000 Radio Northsea International is set to make a second
return to the airwaves following last summer's broadcast off the coast
of Clacton on Sea (that will be exactly 30 years and 5 days after the
Mebo 2 headed for her new position off Clacton - the editor).

Station Manager Paul Graham said, "Last August's broadcast proved to be
a success with both listeners and advertisers. Many people have fond
memories of the original RNI, so with the help once again of sea
containers who own light vessel 18, we plan to broadcast from the ship
which is currently moored at the old railway pier in Harwich. We shall
bring back once again all the great memories of this once loved station
including the music of the early seventies, when the original ship Mebo
2 was on the air. There will be no computers running RNI and unlike
today's commercial stations we will be hands on and personal with the
listener."

Potential sponsors and advertisers are now being sought and RNI will be
heard on 190 metres medium wave, 1566 kilohertz. The station will this
time operate from the river Stour and should be audible across North
Essex and South Suffolk and listeners will be able to visit the ship. Mr
Graham said "We have been trying to relocate the ship into Ipswich wet
dock during the last couple of months, but sadly we have not been
successful in finding a berth for the winter."

The forthcoming broadcast will be helping to raise funds for the 4th
Dovercourt sea scouts who need to raise about £165,000 for a new
building in Barrack Lane, Dovercourt. Mr Ted Staker of the sea scouts
said "I'm delighted that RNI will be supporting us via the broadcast,"
and he added "It will also give the sea scouts some hands on experience
of working on a large ship and in assisting with crewing duties on
board."
