The
RNI memories of Michael Downing for the week leading up to one
of the most notorious days in RNI's history Saturday 8 May 1971 After yesterday evening's transmitter
maintenance, RNI is back on the air at 6.10 on 220 metres,
but went off at 6.20, came back on at 6.35, but went off again at 6.45, came
back for one minute at 7.00, but then went off again and finally returned at
7.15, although the shortwave transmitter remained off the air. The medium
wave signal was very poor throughout the day, so medium wave and shortwave
transmissions (shortwave having returned to the air during the day) close
down at 16.21, with Stevi Merike
saying that he hopes that they will return "soon" and "much
stronger" later in the evening. But they didn't. Instead the first of
the oldies shows is only on FM. Sunday 9 May 1971 The station is back on the air as usual
this morning, much stronger than yesterday, but only marginally stronger than
before that. International service programmes
are: 15.00 Mike Ross (Super Hit 50) 18.00 Alan West 20.00 Crispian St
John 22.00 Tony Allan 24.00 - 3.00 Mike Ross News is read by Crispian
St John, Stevi Merike and
Mike Ross. Alan West has an hour of LP tracks between 19.00 and 20.00, to
become a regular feature on Sunday evenings. Also Tony Allan intends to give
a run down of the new Super Hit 50 at 22.30 on
Sunday evenings. Ex-RNI news....Andy Archer is now with
Radio Jackie and presented an oldies show between 13.05 and 14.05 this
afternoon. Monday 10 May 1971 The medium wave signal is considerably
better today than it has been recently, but they are still trying to improve
it by going off the air at midnight for transmitter adjustments. Programmes
this evening are: 16.00 Stevi Merike 18.00 Alan West 20.00 Crispian St
John 22.00 - 24.00 Stevi
Merike Alan West interviews Tony Ashton at
18.30. Stevi Merike sits
in on the Tony Allan show for some reason, although why Tony is unable to
present the show himself is not revealed. Tuesday 11 May 1971 Reception is better again today, but they
are hoping to get it better still as the days
progress. Stevi Merike
said that he will play more by the Radha Krishna
Temple when he moves to a different time slot, but didn't say either when or
which time slot he would be moving to. Programmes
today are: 16.00 Stevi Merike 18.00 Alan West 20.00 Crispian St

Merike and Tony Allan all go off on shore leave and
