Eddy Startz (Source: Radio Netherlands Archives)<\/p><\/div>\n

I was recently contacted by Shortwave Radio Audio Archive<\/a> subscriber, Geoff Gilham, who asked: “Do you know if any recordings of Edward Startz exist?<\/em>”<\/p>\n

That’s a very good question, because unfortunately, we have no off-air recordings of Eddy\u00a0 Startz in the archive at present. Startz had a very long tenure at RNW retiring from the Happy Station at the end of 1969, so there must be recordings out there.<\/p>\n

Post readers<\/em>: If you have off-air recordings of Eddy Startz on The Happy Station Show, please comment or contact me. We’d love to add them to the archive! Many thanks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
