I want to send my thanks to you both for a really wonderful website. It's been over 10 years of wonderful news of offshore gems. You have both kept the interest of Offshore Radio alive, and it's magical – there is nothing in the whole of this world to beat it. I also believe that Offshore would have died if the website wasn't around with the amount of news items, the hard work behind the scenes and the time that you both put into it. No other site has the same dedication on the same scale as yours.

I hope you will keep the site going for many more years to come and I feel you both should be awarded the MBE for keeping Offshore Radio alive on the site and in our hearts.

Stephen Burnham

"I could not possibly thank you enough for keeping the blood, sweat and tears fresh and alive. Without you, Radio London would merely be an ever-fading, occasional memory."

Radio London founder, Tom Danaher (died 2015)

"You have done an outstanding job in keeping the spirit of Radio London alive; I know my father would have been amazed and impressed that something he started over 40 years ago is still being talked about. Thank you, Mary, for all that you do."

Grey Pierson, son of the late Radio London founder, Don Pierson
