Facts

One of the volunteers at Wessex Film and Sound Archive, John Moxley, suggested this item because:
'Radio Victory was an independent radio station broadcasting to Portsmouth and the surrounding region from October 1975 until June 1986. Wessex Film and Sound Archive holds many of their original tapes, which I have listened to and digitised as part of a project with Bournemouth University.'
John Moxley has been a volunteer with Wessex Film and Sound Archive since the early 1990s and has worked almost exclusively on local radio tapes. He has also worked on a project for Bournemouth University, digitising independent local radio tapes held by WFSA, including many from the Radio Victory collection (AV1).
