NEW 'pirate' Radio Hauraki Competition
Visit www.radioheritage.net to enter
--------------------------------------


Wow, wasn't that a lot of fun!!! A BIG THANKS to everyone who sent in
their entry for the first 'pirate' Radio Hauraki competition or who
signed up to the 'new' 1480 Club........


Amazing how far the Radio Hauraki story has gone around the
world...you've written in from the UK, Sweden, Germany, Netherlands,
South Africa, India, Taiwan, Australia, Canada, USA and....New
Zealand!


And, some of you also wrote about your own personal Radio Hauraki
memories..these are fantastic, and we'll put them up on the website a
bit later down the track. Got some memories of your own to share?
Just add them to your entry for the NEW competition...see below for
details.


One ex-Hauraki 'Good Guy' has whispered in our ears that, although
'Born Free' by Matt Munro is widely regarded as the first song played
on the ship, there were some test broadcasts a few days earlier and a
certain song by 'The Sandpipers' was actually the very first song
ever played!!!!


Separating facts from fiction and urban legend isn't easy. 


But, who's the winner I hear you shouting!!! Who picked 'Born Free'
as the answer, and is our first winner.....and the answer is [drum
roll]....


Chris Faulkner of Holyhead, Wales, UK. Well done Chris.
Congratulations, and your prize will be on its way to you in the next
week or so.


Next competition I hear you shouting!!! We want another competition!!!


OK, just visit www.radioheritage.net and you'll see the great prize
we've got lined up for you this time. It's a rare CD 'A Fresh Pacific
Wind', the story of Radio Hauraki 1966-1970. Compiled by David Miller
this has got the greatest interviews and stories about 'pirate' Radio
Hauraki you'll ever find in one place..........


And, you'll find the easy to answer question there as well. It's so
simple that our prize co-ordinator says we're giving it away....of
course we are, she finds them, we give 'em away to good
homes....because we're the official 'pirate' Home of the Good Guys!!!!
