	Wonderful Radio London - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wonderful Radio London or “Big L” was a United Kingdom unlicenced off-shore commercial station, with studios and transmitter aboard a former US Minesweeper anchored three and a half miles off Southeast England from late December 1964, until 3 p.m.
		Wonderful Radio London was created by Don Pierson who took his inspiration for the station and for the name from two sources.
		The KBOX jingles re-sung for Wonderful Radio London by PAMS, then determined the name of the station as far as listeners in the United Kingdom were concerned because what they heard was "Wonderful Radio London" and "Wonderful Big L".

	Radio London - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During 1984 an attempt was made to restart Wonderful Radio London using the same PAMS jingles, following the recreation of the original station sound as a radio program on a local Texas station owned by Don Pierson.
		During August 1997 and subsequently, a RSL was issued by UK authorities to British citizen Ray Anderson of Frinton-on-sea]], Essex, for a 1 watt station to initially commemorate the 30th anniversary of the original Wonderful Radio London.
		Easy Radio London was the name used by former RTL owned station Country 1035 after it was bought by Avtar Lit's Sunrise Radio group.

	Pirate radio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The English language evening broadcasts from Radio Luxembourg were intentionally beamed toward the British Isles by Luxembourg licensed transmitters, while the intended audience in the United Kingdom originally listened to their radio sets by permission of a Wireless License issued by the British General Post Office (GPO).
		While Mexico issued radio station XERF with a license to broadcast, the power of its 250,000 watts transmitter was far greater than the maximum of 50,000 watts authorized for commercial use by the government of the United States of America.
		Consequently, XERF and many other radio stations in Mexico which sold their broadcasting time to sponsors of English-language commercial and religious programs, were labeled as "border blasters", but not "pirate radio stations", even though the content of many of their programs were in violation of US law.

	Don Pierson - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		He became famous both as the founder of the British offshore radio stations Wonderful Radio London; Swinging Radio England and Britain Radio during the 1960s and for his two attempts to create freeports on the islands of Tortuga, Haiti and Dominica during the 1970s.
		Although the first era of offshore or so-called pirate radio broadcasting came to an end on August 14, 1967, when the British Parliament passed an anti-advertising bill at the behest of a panicked BBC, the huge popularity of the stations subsequently compelled the British government to permanently open England's airwaves to independent broadcasters.
		One of the local programs added to the station was the Wonderful Radio London Top 40 Show which by 1983 had evolved into a new company called Wonderful Radio London International with the intention of restarting the offshore station of the 1960s from a new ship off anchored once again off the coast of England.

		Radio London (Big L) was perhaps the largest and was established by MD Philip Birch on 12th December 1964 and broadcast from the MV Galaxy on 266m (1137kHz) with a powerful and clear 50kW Ampliphase transmitter and wonderful Amercian jingles produced by the PAMS jingle production house.
		The Radio London organisation returned to make several licenced RSL broadcasts in the 1990's, and have recently obatained a licence to broadcast from The Netherlands on 1008 kHz from either Flevoland or possibly the disused offshore survey platform, REM Island, which would be a fitting location for their transmitter.
		Radio Caroline continued broadcasting on medium wave, but the station suffred at the hands of the weather and the authorities; a severe storm felled the massive 300ft mast in 1987, but brave the station was finally taken off the air in 1991 during a armed raid by the UK government.

	Wonderful Radio London Copyrights
		The current format of this theft of copyright concerns a book known as "The Wonderful Radio London Story" for which Chris Elliot claims credit as author, and a companion three volume CD set of the same name which is narrated by Keith Skues, and for which in both instances Ray Anderson claims ownership.
		His first action was in contacting Howard Rose who had a photocopy-stapled digest called "Radio Now", and Chris Elliot then began publishing a series of articles called the "Wonderful Radio London Files" in each issue which were taken from the pen, research and files of John England to which he expressly claimed his own copyright.
		The radio ship was alleged to have been registered in the bogus state of "Sealand", which in reality was nothing but a sunken barge sitting on a sandbank.

	THE WORLD TOMORROW RADIO BROADCAST TO THE UK 1964-1967
		Between 1964 and 1967 a radio broadcast called "The World Tomorrow" introduced by Art Gilmore and featuring daily, half-hour polemical commentaries by Herbert W. Armstrong and his son Garner Ted Armstrong, were beamed into the UK from a variety of ships and disused WW2 forts from "pirate" radio stations broadcasting from offshore.
		The substance of many of these radio broadcasts concerned a religious perception based upon a prophetic interpretation of the Bible, that the new Europe would emerge into a United States of Europe that would eventually rival the United States of America, unless it was stopped.
		This "pirate" radio station carried the half-hour broadcasts of "The World Tomorrow" featuring either Herbert W. Armstrong or his son Garner Ted Armstrong at 7 PM each night: to most of the Southeast and Midlands of England as well as the seaboard of continental Western Europe.
