For 32 years, the annual Dutch "Radio Day" has been a "must" for all (offshore) radio experts and enthusiasts. About 350 people are normally attending the event each year. This website has galleries of photos from previous events and will keep visitors up to date with news of this year's event as arrangements fall into place.

The Radio Day 2010 will take place on Saturday 13th November 2010, in the
new Hotel Casa 400 in Amsterdam, Eerste Ringdijkstraat 4 (in the vicinity of the old Casa 400 hotel).

Beste Radiofan
Het organisatieteam is alweer bezig met de voorbereiding van de Radio Dag 2010 die zal worden gehouden op 13 november 2010 in het nieuwe Hotel Casa 400 in Amsterdam, op een paar honderd meter afstand van het oude gebouw.
Er gaat wat veranderen in 2010. Tot voor kort hadden wij altijd onze kassa boven bij de ingang van de zaal. Vanaf 2010 gaat dat veranderen.
Wij gaan dan bij de ingang beneden zitten en hebben dan ook een betere controle op de bezoekers en vooral de bezoekers aantallen.
Met uw donatie voor 2010 kunt u echter gratis onze Radio Dag bezoeken. Die begint weer als altijd om 11.00 uur; de zaal gaat open om 10.00 uur. U hebt dan alle gelegenheid om de aangeboden merchandise te bekijken.
De donatie voor 2010 is € 7,-- en u gelieve dat over te maken voor 1 juni 2010.

Ontvangen donaties na die datum geven geen gratis toegang tot de Radio Dag.
Wij verzoeken u het bovenstaande goed te lezen daar wij onze donateurs slechts 1 x schriftelijk op de hoogte stellen van dit feit mede de enorme portokosten van afgelopen jaren te vermijden.
In de maand februari worden er knopen doorgehakt betreffende het programma voor de Radio Dag op 13 november 2010 en zal er daarna met regelmaat informatie worden toegevoegd op www.radioday.nl
Vriendelijke groet
Rob Olthof

 The Radio Day Time-Table

The 2004 Radio Day saw the Radio Caroline 1973/74 reunion with many former deejays, technicians and crew members, and in 2005, "RNI in 1970" attracted several former Radio NorthSea employees who had a magnificent discussion on the podium. In November 2006, the Voice of Peace reunion formed a major highlight, as 20 former VoP jocks and technicians got together from all over the world.

But the biggest event ever was the 2007 one with 450 visitors. We listened to Tom Mulder (Klaas Vaak) and saw the Swinging Radio England reunion. And we were fascinated to hear Johnnie Walker, Robbie Dale, Roger Day and other well known jocks telling their stories on Radio Caroline after Monday August 14th 1967... In 2007 we also introduced the "Radio Day Awards" as a bi-annual event to acclaim the efforts of several special people who stood up for free radio without governmental control.

The 2008 Radio Day included an in-depth interview with Radio Atlantis' Adriaan van Landschoot and saw "Radio Caroline in the late seventies (1977-80)" as a main topic. Four panels discussed that exciting era just before the MV Mi Amigo sank in March 1980. This included nearly all the English and Dutch colleagues who worked for the legendary offshore radio station around thirty years ago. Again it became a big class reunion.

In 2009, we celebrated the 25th anniversary of Laser 558 with a Laser Reunion including Jessie Brandon, Charlie Wolf, Mike Barrington, Johnny Lewis, Ray Anderson, Dennis Jason, Leendert Vingerling, Paul Jackson and Jim Perry. Keith Skues had been celebrating his 70th birthday plus "50 years on the radio" a few months earlier. He was interviewed by the Dutch radio legend Tom Mulder. A most intensive dialogue between Steve Conway and Nigel Harris (Stuart Russel) fascinated the audience. Ingo Paternoster pleased everyone with an interesting "AFN in Germany" presentation. Last but not least, 2009 saw the second Radio Day Awards celebration.
