OFFSHORE RADIO MUSEUM - Key Persons
Al Weiner's interest and involvement in offshore radio did not end with the apparently fatal 1989 Court ruling against RNYI. While continuing to operate his station over hired shortwave outlets he became involved in planning another offshore operation, this time determined to ensure that legally and financially he would not be vulnerable to action from the various regulatory authorities.
During the early months of 1993 Al Weiner was invited to join this new offshore project as Technical Adviser. The project in question was an ambitious one - although offshore based it was designed to be licensed and perfectly legal and the radio ship was to house four stations broadcasting to a world-wide audience on shortwave.
Voyager Broadcast Services, set up jointly by Al Weiner and his partner in the project, Scott Becker, issued a press release on 20th September 1993 announcing that the new offshore station would be based on the MV Fury, which the two men had jointly purchased. Voyager planned to rent airtime on two of the four transmitters to any individuals or organisations who wished to broadcast, at a charge of $75 an hour. Al Weiner made it known that such airtime would be available to Radio Caroline if it wished to take advantage of the facility as a means of putting that station back on the air.
