They wouldn't have been particularly well matched or radiating properly as the stacks would react to each other being opposite on the same mast.. and some luck involved as to whether the PA in each rig would interact, given the filtering on most pirate gear.. but fair play they were both on air.. and thats a nice block

Stuff of legend that Kool/Rinse block share/H stack setup & that block they were using is an absolute whopper.
Remember both stations putting out huge signals around that time too.

I'm sure someone said on here a while back, there was a station that came from Chertsey in Surrey ages back? Anyone remember this, or whereabouts they would of come from? There's are no high spots....

Red Eye came from Egham hill.
....A few stations have used the southern water covered reservior site up the top of St. Anns hill, Chertsey over the years.

.....That was probably the remains of Point Blank's old 103.6 relay site from about 10 years or so back, unless this was back in the 90s?

Flava was In canning town above the market.
Rince was Dagenham broad Street.
Temptation 102.4 was mainly barking, but we did have a studio in Rainham where we spent alot of time.
Temptation was practically everywhere in barking and Dagenham. I remember the studio being near Lintons estate (if your old enough to remember that estate) in the industrial site just next to Ilford mosque. Gascoigne estate in the tower blocks, containers near the river Roding too.
