Capital Radio (not to be confused with the later British radio station of the same name) was a pirate radio station which operated from international waters off the coast of the Netherlands in 1970. The station was set up by Canadian idealist Tim Thomason. In 1965 Thomason had established the International Broadcasting Society with the intention of bringing together professional broadcasting organisations from around the world. Eventually Thomason decided that the Society should have its own radio station which could be used to broadcast messages from the participating organisations.

  • Capital Radio (not to be confused with the later British radio station of the same name) was a pirate radio station which operated from international waters off the coast of the Netherlands in 1970. The station was set up by Canadian idealist Tim Thomason. In 1965 Thomason had established the International Broadcasting Society with the intention of bringing together professional broadcasting organisations from around the world. Eventually Thomason decided that the Society should have its own radio station which could be used to broadcast messages from the participating organisations. Thomason and his associates acquired a former German coaster and renamed it the MV King David, because they saw the station as being a David to the major broadcasters' Goliath. The ship was registered in Liechtenstein, becoming unofficially the only member of the tiny, doubly landlocked country's Navy. (en)
  • Capital Radio was een zeezender in handen van de vrije radio-organisatie (IBS), die uitzond op golflengte 270 meter vanaf het zendschip MV King David, dat verankerd lag in destijds internationale wateren, nl. zes mijl uit de kust bij Noordwijk. Testuitzendingen begonnen op 1 juni 1970 en reguliere programma's startten op 1 september van dat jaar. De ongewone zilveren zendantenne, bestaande uit een inklapbare ring en daarna twee ringen hangende aan de mast in het midden van het schip, veroorzaakte veel problemen met de wind, en smolt zelfs bij te hoog zendvermogen. Normaal was een zendvermogen van 10 kW voorzien maar er werd slechts 1 kW bereikt; toch was de ontvangst in Nederland en BelgiĆ« behoorlijk te noemen. De zender had regelmatig te kampen met problemen en was af en toe uit de lucht. Het programma was anders dan dat van de andere zeezenders, namelijk rustige luistermuziek (easy listening) en zelfs religieuze muziek, maar geen pop. Het schip was geregistreerd in Liechtenstein en was hiermee het enige in de vloot van het land, dat niet aan de zee ligt. De bemanning droeg een marinekostuum (zogenaamd van de marine van Liechtenstein), wat ook een eigenaardigheid was. Op 11 november 1970 stelde de kapitein vast dat het anker verdwenen was, en men probeerde het reserve-anker uit te werpen, maar met windkracht 9 kon het op drift geslagen schip niet worden gered en strandde op de kust van Noordwijk. Op 13 november 1970 trok de firma Wijsmuller het schip terug vlot maar eiste een reddingsclaim die IBS niet kon betalen, wat het einde van de zender betekende. (nl)
