- #move 0,0
- via a Belgian station Radio Delmare
- with the power of 2000 watts. Also an
- Irish Riverside Radio relayed RWR
- several times. RWR got very much publi-
- city in Europe for its different prog-
- rams, because RWR used very much echo
- and several types of jingles and sound
- effects.Reception reports were received
- from 12 countries.
- During winter RWR tried to find more
- members to operate the station. It was
- done and in spring 1987 RWR had six
- boys in a row and a new 35 watt trans-
- mitter for FM use. RWR had a widely ad-
- vertised transmission in May Day 1987
- (May 1st 1987),but it was rudely inter-
- rupted by police and PTL officials.
- Anyway, all RWR-boys managed to leave
- the place without getting caught.
- In summer 1987 RWR was on air quite
- regularly at weekends.It was great time
- hiding in dark forests transmitting
- programs and listening whether the PTL
- was coming to raid the station. That
- summer police and PTL had no luck and
- in autumn 1987 RWR decided to start
- larger operations. A more powerful FM
- #move 325,0
- transmitter was ordered and RWR bought
- for the studio a new digital echo and a
- mixer with six channels. Also a 15 watt
- shortwave transmitter was bought and SW
- transmissions were started immediately.
- Some new members to the RWR crew were
- also found.
- During summer and autumn 1987 RWR got
- very much publicity in local and
- national newspapers and radiostations.
- In the early September DJ Tex Willer
- even appeared in the second national
- TV-news as one of the main topics
- telling about Free radio (Commercial
- TV's 10 o'clock news). That was a real
- smash! Free radio was in TV for the
- first time in Finland.
- In winter 1987-88 RWR broadcast regu-
- larly on SW and had some brief tests on
- FM. SW frequency was 6225 KHz every
- Sunday morning, and especially the RWR
- Christmas show 1987 has become a real
- legend. The FM frequency was changed a
- little to 95.5 Mhz, which is officially
- reserved for the community of Muurame,
- which is situated close to Jyvaskyla.
