De hoogste nieuwe binnenkomer is Who was it van Hurricane Smith op nummer 25. Cornelis Vreeswijk komt binnen op nummer 41 met de Nozem en de Non. Bij de “buren” is vooral zijn Veronica 538 lied erg populair. In de “gewone” uitvoering staat het op nummer 21 in de Top 50. De Lovelettes komen binnen op nummer 47 met hun Slow Love. De maxi single van de Partridge Family is deze week de treiterschijf. De re-release van Nights in white satin is deze week de kanskaart van Leo van der Goot. Tango Johnny van Nico Haan is deze week de LP van de week. Dit nummer had hij live gezongen op de MEBO 2 tijdens de Trip naar de MEBO 2, waarvan je hieronder het verslag in de MP vindt.

The RNI memories of Michael Downing for this week in September 1972

 

Saturday 30 September 1972

 The records that I have heard most on RNI during the past week have been:

Uitvoerende(n)

Titel

Sweet

Wig Wam Bam

Edgar Winter Group

Free ride

Lynsey de Paul

Sugar me

Lt Pigeon

Mouldy old dough

Les Humphries Singers

T Rex

Four Tops

I'll turn to stone

 

Astounding developments at 12.30. Radio Veronica moves, as expected, from 192m to 538m, but, on 192m there is test transmission from RNI. Programmes for this test are:

 12.30 Tony Allan

 14.00 Brian McKenzie

 16.00 Arnold Layne

 18.00 - 19.00 Terry Davis

These tests are referred to as being from Radio Northsea International 2 and there are regular mentions for Veronica's new wavelength. The reason why the tests cease at 19.00 is given as "RNI does not wish to cause any interference to any other station". However, during the Arnold Layne show, the transmissions from the Dutch service on 220m took over on 192m for short periods between 16.00 and 17.00 and also from the start of Driemaster at 17.02 until around 17.45. This was obviously not intentional. There is a Dutch news broadcast at 13.57 and all through these test transmissions RNI asks listeners to send reception reports to the PO Box 113, Zurich address. At the end of the Arnold Layne show, he doesn't sound very confident about the future of RNI 2, saying "Eventually we might get some programmes out for you". The "Man of action" theme is played at the top of each hour, when the wavelength is announced, as well as Veronica's new one.

 

On the Dutch service, Alfred Lagarde hosts Toekomstmuziek and the Muziek Parade show.

 

International service programmes this evening are:

 19.00 Arnold Layne (International Prediction Hit 40)

 22,00 Tony Allan (Reviews)

 23.00 Tony Allan (Kent Request Hour)

 24.00 - 2.00 Brian McKenzie

In the news bulletin at 20.00, Tony Allan said that Radio Veronica had changed to 538m to avoid interference with other stations and that the management of RNI have stated that they intend to maintain the high technical standards of Veronica, which is why the transmissions closed at 19.00. It is also announced that it is intended to broadcast the International service of RNI on 192m. Also reading news this evening are Terry Davis and Arnold Layne. A mobile discotheque today allegedly features Tony Berk and Peter Holland, although Tony is on holiday. RNI closes at 2.00 on Sunday morning for aerial adjustments.

 

Sunday 1 October 1972

RNI returns on 220m, 49m and FM at 5.20, along with test transmissions on 192m. All wavelengths feature a programme presented by Tony Allan. The programmes divide at 7.00, with the Dutch service on 220m and FM (Peter Holland) and Tony Allan continuing on 192m. However, at 7.10 RNI develops some problems and the RNI 2 tests have to close and are replaced by the Dutch service on 192m. Tony Allan says that the RNI 2 tests will return, but he doesn't know when. This means that today's edition of Nordsee goes DX is broadcast only on 6205KHz (at 10.00). There is a break in transmissions on 192m from 9.30 to about 10.00 and then, at 11.05, the station disappears from 192m and does not return before the scheduled 19.00 closure. No reason is given for this, only "We went off the air".

 

On the Dutch service, Leo van der Goot presents Tony Berk's programme. There is a mobile discotheque today featuring Leo van der Goot and Alfred Lagarde and a second one is advertised with Peter Holland and Tony Berk, although Tony is on holiday.

 

International service programmes are:

 19.00 Brian McKenzie (Hitback Show)

 21.00 Terry Davis (Cloud Nine)

 23.00 Arnold Layne (Kent Request Hour)

 24.00 - 3.00 Tony Allan

Arnold Layne, Brian McKenzie and Terry Davis read the news. Although Terry Davis refers to the RNI 2 transmissions many times during Cloud Nine, he does not say when the broadcasts are likely to resume. He does however comment that it was not their fault that transmissions had to go off the air at 11.05. Mike Ross picks the competition winner in the Hitback Show.

 

Monday 2 October 1972

There are more tests on 192m this afternoon, but only until 18.00, and the Dutch service is relayed throughout this time. Tonight's programme schedule is:

 19.00 Tony Allan

 21.00 Terry Davis

 23.00 Arnold Layne (Kent Request Hour)

 24.00 - 3.00 Brian McKenzie

 News is read by Arnold Layne, Tony Allan and Terry Davis.

 

Tuesday 3 October 1972

The Dutch service is again relayed on 192m, but only during the morning. Tony Allan says this evening that the tests will restart, but it's up to the management and engineers as to when this happens. He also says that the Tony Allan breakfast show will be returning.

Brian McKenzie goes off on shore leave, so programmes become:

 19.00 Tony Allan

 21.00 Terry Davis

 23.00 Arnold Layne (Kent Request Hour)

 24.00 - 3.00 Mike Ross

Also on the Mebo 2 today is a new Dutch newsreader, Dick de Graaf. Arnold Layne, Tony Allan and Terry Davis read the International service news.

 

Wednesday 4 October 1972

Again there is a change in the programme schedule, which is:

 19.00 Tony Allan

 21.00 Terry Davis

 23.00 Mike Ross (Kent Request Hour)

 24.00 - 3.00 Arnold Layne

Terry Davis describes the Mebo 2 as "The biggest broadcasting boat in the North Sea" and says that he is saying this "because I have a feeling that the medium wave is about to be thrown into chaos again". Arnold Layne, Tony Allan and Terry Davis read tonight's news.

 

Thursday 5 October 1972

Marc van Amstel, Terry Davis and Mike Ross go off on shore leave and Dave Rogers and Gerard Smit return to the Mebo 2. Gerard Smit reads the afternoon Dutch news bulletins and this evening's programmes are:

 19.00 Tony Allan

 21.00 Dave Rogers

 23.00 Dave Rogers (Kent Request Hour)

 24.00 - 3.00 Arnold Layne

 Arnold Layne, Tony Allan and Dave Rogers read the news.

 

Friday 6 October 1972

Gerard Smit reads morning news and Hans Molenaar reads afternoon news. After only one day Terry Davis returns from shore leave and programmes are:

 19.00 Tony Allan

 21.00 Terry Davis

 23.00 Dave Rogers (Kent Request Hour)

 24.00 Arnold Layne

 3.00 - 6.00 Dave Rogers

 Arnold Layne, Tony Allan and Terry Davis read news.
