	Radio 270 is a pre-war Dutch lugger, Oceaan VII, which is registered in the port of Puerto Cortes and flies the Honduras flag. Easily visible from the busy seaside centre of Scarborough (Home of Britain's Number One d.j., Jimmy Savile), the ship weighs 160 tons, is 139 ft. long and has a 154-ft. mast for broadcasting. There are two studios below deck and the d.j.'s have their own recreational room equipped with TV. One of the newest stations to hit the air waves, Radio 270 has already established a sizeable listening audience in the North and plans further expansion to benefit its listeners. Several of its d.j.'s have also become widely known and attracted their own strong following of fans. Address of Radio 270 is Westminster Bank Chambers, St. Nicholas Street, Scarborough, Yorkshire. Ready soon will be the first issue of the station's new publication for listeners, "270 Magazine".

	NOEL MILLER (Senior d.j.) A twentythree-year-old Australian, Noel spent five years working on numerous top radio stations at home before coming to Britain and his present job as Programme Director on 270. Known to fans as "Neddy Noel" his evening show has a top rating. A handsome six-footer with blond hair and brown eyes. Noel spends much of his spare time making home movies. He is very keen on the Beatles, Frank Sinatra, Dusty Springfield and Elvis Presley, but says he hates rain and French trains. What does he do off-duty on 270? "Sleep!"
	PETER BOWMAN With television, ballroom and radio experience behind him, Peter is as professional as any d.j. on the air. Born twenty-two years ago in Carlisle, he has worked on Border TV and endured the vremendous strain of deejaying at ballroom dances. His last stop before 270 was Radio Scotland off Troon. His twice-daily shows are particularly popular with listeners and always give plenty of air space to Peter's favourite artists, the Beatles, Hollies and Peggy Lee. He enjoys driving fast cars when not working and lists his dislikes as cold custard and "hob-nail socks''. He is 5 ft. 6 in. tall and has black hair and brown eyes.
	PAUL BURNETT Paul is the man who starts the day for listeners to 270--although he admits to a personal dislike at having to get up in the morning and a love of brass bedsteads. Twenty-three years old, he comes from County Durham and learned the business of being a d.j. with the Forces Network in Aden. Fair-haired with blue eyes, good-looking Paul is 5 ft. 7 in. tall. He likes "gear'' clothing and collects hats. His favourite artists are father and daughter, Frank and Nancy Sinatra and the American group the Lovin' Spoonful.
	ALEX DEE Imp-ish Alex, well-known to Radio 270 listeners for his late night show, spent the first two years after he left school as a drama student. He gave up acting to enter commercial radio and started building up a personal following in the south over the air waves of Radio City. Twenty-two years old, Alex, who is 6 ft. tall, has flame red hair and blue eyes. Although happy on ship, he does not like sea travel and is happiest at home in Birmingham. Alex likes girls ("good or bad") and hates dirty feet. He considers the Beatles and Elvis Presley the best artists in the world.
	DENNIS STRANEY The man who runs the Dennis "The Menace" Show is much as you'd expect him to be: lively and full of fun. Dennis Straney is a twenty-five-year-old Australian who came to this country after working on several of the top radio stations "Down Under". Before switching to 270, he spent several months with Radio City learning the business of being a sea-bound d.j. Nearly 6 ft. tall with black hair and brown eyes, Dennis cannot stand bad food and has the typical Australian hatred of traffic jams. His favourite artists are the Rolling Stones, Ray Charles and CilIa Black.
	ANDY KIRK Andy is the youngest of 270's d.j.'s and has been making news most of his life. He was born in Yorkshire nineteen years ago and was jumping around to pop music almost before he could walk. At sixteen he had formed his own beat group and earned quite a following in the country. After that he broadcast regularly on private radio in Leeds and from there naturally graduated into commercial radio and 270. Being already known in the area has helped establish his evening show as one of the most popular from the station. He likes girls--Brigitte Bardot in particular--but cannot stand snakes. Andy is 5 ft. 10 in. tall, has brown hair and brown eyes. His favourite artists are the Beatles and Sandie Shaw.
	HAL YORKE After leaving school Hal chose a career in the theatre for himself, but found it unrewarding and turned to an earlier love: radio. He spent a short while freelancing for the BBC and then when the plans for launching 270 neared completion joined the organisation as studio manager. Being based at Scarborough suits Hal down to the ground because he is a Yorkshireman by birth. Twenty-five years old, he is 6 if. 1 in. tall and has blond hair and blue eyes. When he can relax Hal likes photography and studying astronomy. Likes most modern music, but singles out the Beatles, The Kinks and Frank Sinatra as his particular favourites.
	LEON TIPPLER Leon is another of Radio 270's d.j.'s who began his career in commercial radio with Radio City. He was born in Kidderminster twenty-three years ago and has been interested in modern music far as long as he can remember. An admirer of Francoise Hardy, Leon is 5 ft. 10 in tall and has hazel eyes and brown hair. One of his favourite pastimes on shore is riding on trams--but he admits they are few and far between nowadays. He dislikes television and believes radio has more to offer twentieth-century teenagers.
