Scheveningen RadioNetherlands1972 Recording
A very well-known coastal radio station in Europe was Scheveningen Radio in the Netherlands. This station had a long and distinguished history until its closure at the beginning of 1999.
Its presence was heard in many parts of the world across mediumwave, shortwave and VHF using CW, radiotelephony, and SITOR (telex), using its callsign PCH.
Here is my recording of Scheveningen Radio from 1972:

A short YouTube video, mostly in Dutch, is worth checking out because you get a chance to see the station in action, the equipment that was used, the various roles that the station played and watch people doing their stuff! View it at https://youtu.be/KaEiwKeQexw

Nice Rob, although only a few snippets it brings back memories. A few of the employees at Scheveningen radio are hamradio operators still active. As a matter of fact I believe the photograph in your post shows PA0Q in his younger days. 73, Bas PE4BAS
