Dave Rabbit - Pirate station Vietnam

This page is about a pirate radio station that operated in South Vietnam-1971.

The host of Radio First Termer was Dave Rabbit (I do not know his real name),

He was probably one of the raunchiest DJs ever to be on the air.

Radio First Termer offered English speaking personnel in South Vietnam an alternative to AFVN and to speak out against the war. Listed are several sound clips from a broadcast of Radio First Termer which I made from a loaned tape recording of a broadcast of Radio First Termer. The tapes I made these files from are not originals.

Who Was Dave Rabbit?
According to legend, Dave Rabbit was an Air Force sergeant {this is mentioned on one clip} who remained in South Vietnam for about a year after his one year hitch to blast "Hard Acid Rock Music To Blow People's Mind's With" and fuel the Anti-Vietnam feelings that coarsed through the ranks of disenchanted , U.S. service men and women towards the end of the Vietnam War.

Beyond that, not much is known about Dave Rabbit and his pirate station. No one has been able to identify Dave's true identity. Pete Sadler was one of his assistants/engineers & a lady called "New Gin"-It operated on 69mhz on the Fm dial.

AF/SSgt Dave Rabbit,
your evening host
South vietnam's 'unauthorized'
Armed Forces Radio Broadcast as it was heard by the 'troops' in the
rear.

SSgt Dave Rabbit and his pirate radio crew keeps the GIs in Vietnam well
informed and unusually entertained. Uncle Sam has denied the existance
of Radio First Termer. 
A cassette and was sold in the mid 70s via the Rolling Stones Magazine
on 8 track tape. It was duplicated as a copy extracted from a stereo
headphone outlet to a tape recorder. The quality wasn't the greatest
from the onset as the transmitter equipment wasn't intended for
commercial use. During that period, several of the local hot spots would
set up underground radio stations of very low power where GIs were often
approached to broadcast on them to draw business their way. Usually the
low power stuff was home-brew technology. Occasionally a higher powered
transmitter would sign on and as in the case of this broadcast, it could
be received for over 50 miles or better. When busted by the local
police, (invoking marshal law as it was deemed to be adversely effecting
the moral of the troops) the more powerful xmitters were usually French
made equipment circa late 40s to mid 50s.
