25 YEARS OFFSHORE ECHOS

An item on Radio Northsea International's A.J. Beirens shortwave programme "RNI goes DX" led to a group of French radio enthusiasts getting together.

Jean Claude Dumenil, Daniel Lefebvre and Francois Lhote formed a French branch of the Free Radio Campaign - an international organisation, who as their name says campaigned and supported free radio. A number of others joined FRC France and before long the group was publishing a magazine - Offshore Echo's

       Offshore Echo's magazine was originally a French only newsletter of about ten pages. Over time this grew, with an international section being added, this was edited by the late Buster Pearson, probably better known for his own Monitor magazine.  After some time Offshore Echo's split into two separate editions, one French and one English language. Mike "Coconut" Kerslake was the English editor at that time. When Mike left to join the Voice of Peace, Chris Edwards took over, a job he still does. Francois Lhote is the actual Chairmain for Offshore Echos/France Radio Club.

A brand new 54 pages colour booklet, looks back over 25 years of the France Radio Club / Offshore Echo’s history, with photo’s of the many background events, offshore radio guests and the OEM staff.
Cost is £14.99 post free.
