Atlantis-19740820-1600-1700-FredVandenbosch-VandenboschIsWeerLos

Beste Vincent,

It seems strange that Fred plays a jingle that says Radio Atlantis on 312m, when they changed wavelength from 312m to 229m on the 2nd August 1974. Comments?

Mvg,

John C

Ik zie op de Radiopedia pagina inderdaad dat op 3 augustus 1974 Radio Atlantis opnieuw van frequentie veranderde: van 312 meter naar 229 meter, dus vlakbij RNI.

Volgens mijn beleving zat Atlantis vanaf 17 april 1974 tot de sluitingsdatum 31-8-1974 op de 312 meter,

Vandaar dat je inderdaad die jingle hoort waar John het over heeft.

Ik zie in mijn bestand dat er halverwege augustus 1974 nog programma's zijn uitgezonden in de middag met als titel: 312 matinee.

Dan zou dat ook niet meer kloppen.

Misschien dat iemand daar duidelijkheid over kan verschaffen. Wellicht Piet van der Vooren of Bert Ree? Of iemand anders?

Atlantis ging 31-08-1974 op 229 uit de lucht.

Waarschijnlijk is deze band een van de van de banden die bij opbod zijn verkocht in de Atlantis studio in Oostburg op 24 augustus 1974,

De frequentie perikelen.

There was a minor catastrophe on August 1st when, at approximately 17.30 BST, a fault occurred in the oscillator of the transmitter destroying the 962 kHz crystal (crystals are very fragile things - precision made, which have to be handled with extreme care). It was thought that it would be a good idea to use a variable frequency oscillator, by which means, the transmitter could have been tuned up to roughly 312 metres; but the idea was abandoned when it was found that there were insufficient parts on the ship to make a sufficiently good VFO that would keep the stability of the radio station on channel, exactly 962 kHz.

Had an unstable oscillator been used it could very easily have interfered with nearby stations. Therefore, Adriaan van Landschoot was contacted via the ship-to-shore link, and it was put to him than an oscillator could be made to keep the station on around about 312 metres. The situation was explained to him about the lack of stability of such an oscillator with the parts to hand, so it was decided, instead, to use a crystal that they had for the split-frequency of 1317•5 kHz.

Frantic activity by Andy Anderson got the station back on the air by about 00.05 BST the following day, on, what was announced as 229 metres. They were to remain on this channel until the 10th when the 1317•5 kHz crystal became intermittent due to a manufacturing fault. This necessitated a further frequency change, and we awoke on the 11th to find that they had moved to 1313 kHz, however, this channel was prone to heavy interference after dark from a 100 kW transmitter at Stravanger in Norway.

It was at about this time that bad weather prevented the regular tender from coming out with fresh tapes for the Flemish Service, and many programmes of non-stop had to be substituted on the 9th & 10th. To overcome this difficulty the International Service was temporarily extended to 24 hours per day; and so, on Sunday August 11th, not only did we find a new frequency, but also daytime programmes in English; For those who missed hearing them the day's schedule ran as follows: 06.00-09.00 "Snap, Crackle & Pop" Dave Owen, 09.00-12.00 "The Dave Rogers' Ranch" Steve England, 12.00-15.00 "Andy's Sunday Feast" Andy Anderson, 15.00-18.00 "Sunday Rave-up" John Harding, 18.00-19.00 "Nurkaxama Show" Steve England & Andy Anderson, 19.00-20,00 Ray Warner, 20.00-21.00 "Blast Off" Steve England, 21.00-24.00 "The Dave Owen Stamp Collection" Dave Owen, 00.00-03.00 BST "Beatles Spectacular" Debbie England.

On the 12th, after only one day on 1313 kHz, Radio Atlantis changed frequency yet again. They moved to 1331 kHz in an attempt to avoid the nighttime interference from the Norwegian station. Their stay on this channel was also short-lived for at 23.26 BST that night the Italian "jamming" resumed, making the frequency useless as far as Atlantis was concerned. So it was back to 1313 kHz by the 13th.Throughout all these changes the wavelength was constantly being referred to as 229 metres. That afternoon the tender finally got alongside and with it came the awaited Flemish programme tapes.

It’s not strange it happened through the life of Atlantis. There was a frequency change but the Flemish programmes being recorded a week or more in advance, still had the old frequency until new programmes were made and arrived on the ship. From memory I don t think 229 was ever mentioned on the Flemish programmes but open to correction.

UPDATE:-In fact I just checked Tony Houston's programme from 18th August and he does indeed announce 229, however Rob Ronder on the last day of the Flemish service, 25th August announced 312. Depends when the programme was recorded.

Comments? 😂
