Hi Dick, I was surfing for some info on Radio Normandie in the 1950s and came across your greatsite by accident. important too; with the power of 600 Kilowatt (1968: 1200 Kilowatt). I am interested in radio i use to find the signal propagation interesting in times of aurora flutter and in summer months early evening the sig was vry weak it took a gud antenna outside to pick it up. 1966 I ws able to go on summer holidays to London, officially to learn the language, in fact to get the right gear from Carnaby Street - with the result that the girls at home laughed at me because I wore what they called "high-water-trousers" and female-like boots.
