Remembering Radio Veronica at Sea

When I look at the North Sea I also recall the past offshore stations that were anchored 'out there' beaming in music in the Medium Wave (AM) to my transistor radio from their anchorages close to Scheveningen, The Netherlands. The ships were anchored outside Dutch coastal waters. The North Sea was our effective 'satellite' or 'internet' radio. Today we have more choice as most of these stations are now in stereo online, but we did not know that back in 1974.
