It was utter genius! Mark & Lard have tried to nick that style - unsuccessfully. As I recall, the first Tip Top rig (near London Bridge) was one of mine!

Albert is the expert for sure on radio. Did you know anyone one involved with horizon or solar fm 1980s pirate station's?

Yes to both. I once had a bit of a "disagreement" with Horizon's Chris B******** in LWR's Lawrie Park Avenue studio! Dawson intervened and prevented me giving him an "attitude adjustment" with a microphone stand.

I provided some of the gear to many of those stations - all the UHF link stuff that everyone used came from me and some of the audio processors, stereo coders, exciters and PAs were mine too. I also built a lot of aerials.

I got out of selling gear to London wannabe pirate numpties in the late 80s, when the drug dealers took over running the stations and the fun went out of it. The "Hackney 'Mitter Men" (as Roger used to call them) used to spend a lot of money on equipment, but weren't the kind of people you'd want coming 'round to your place.

When I got out of the game here, I continued in Eastern Europe. There was much more money in it over there, and you wouldn't get visited by some jacked-up moron at three in the morning because he couldn't get his link working.

I designed some gear with Stephen up at NRG in the late 90s and early 00s, but still didn't ever supply gear directly to UK stations.

As far as I see it, the morons are still trying to run the London stations. There's nothing left of any quality - with the occasional programme from B2B, Kool or one or two others being the exceptions that prove the rule. Most of it is idiots playing bad records for their mates. It's narrowcasting, not broadcasting!

I don't know what it's like in the rest of the country, but if it's as bad as London, it's Game Over and they may as well give up and move online.

Wow so you are saying Chris Stewart was a less than nice person ? He came across the air waves as very friendly and professional ? There must be a reason why he hasn't been heard from since 1988? As for the presant I like B2B fm but for the last year and a half i haven't been able to pick it up on the west side? Whernt they started by some house fm people as a sister station? And I agree with you opinion of people now but don't you think house fm is okay as well ? I think they have a good variety of output?

Let's go with Live FM 91.8, but as said in the other thread I'm not even sure if we can call it a station???

How much involvement outside of London did you have Albert? Any out West for example?

Some out west, but not too much. Some Midlands, some North, lots in Ireland and even some in Scotland.
