Alice's Restaurant Rock Radio 〔http://www.rockradio.eu.com〕 is an English pirate radio station, based in London and whose history goes back to the 1960s. The station broadcast with a conventional AM transmitter on short wave, producing a 3.2 million watt signal. Their aim is to broadcast a rock-radio service which can be received on a non-digital radio (that covers 9290 kHz) and is directed at a European audience as well as a UK one. ==History== Alice's Restaurant Rock Radio was inspired by Europe's first big album station Radio 428/Geronimo (1969/70),〔http://www.radiogeronimo.com〕 originally run by The Move's manager, Tony Secunda, and Rolling Stones producer Jimmy Miller.〔http://www.radiogeronimo.com〕〔http://www.radiogeronimo.co.uk/mrupert.htm〕 In the 1980s, Alice's Restaurant was an FM pirate station and, with a team which includes members who have provided album rock programming on various land-based pirate rock stations since the 1960s, it had a reputation for playing 100% album rock, including folk rock, blues rock, jazz rock, progressive rock, space rock, hard rock, and heavy metal. Together with Tommy Vance〔http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/2005/mar/07/guardianobituaries.radio〕 and Neal Kay,〔http://www.hmsoundhouse.com〕 Alice's Restaurant Rock Radio was one of the few broadcasters in the United Kingdom to champion hard rock and heavy metal in the early 1980s. The station originally broadcast via a 100,000 watt transmitter, plus a Gainey curtain array antenna which amplifies the signal. This enabled a signal in excess of 3 million watts, on 9290 kHz from Latvia eastern Europe. In the mid-1990s, Alan Freeman, who was a fan of the station (which he had plugged on his rock shows more than once), and an acquaintance of Bear Freeman,〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mb6music/NF1950400?thread=3722730〕 Alice's station organiser, had expressed willingness to do programs for Alice's Restaurant,〔http://www.rockradio.eu.com〕 before ill-health put paid to the project.〔http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/2006/nov/29/guardianobituaries.media〕〔http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6187762.stm〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alice's Restaurant Rock Radio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
