I think I phoned them once and they said they were using about 5W and a ground plane antenna around New Cross area and the details check out. They seemed like a friendly bunch of people running that. Always nice to recall the past and be reminded. They got out really well for the power.

Imagine kicking back and chillin with a cuppa on a Sunday afternoon this tune could be on the radio......
There was a type of housey cross over rave type tune with a soulful thing going on as well.. this is a goody.. late 80's and early 90's was a hotbed of great burgeoning electronic music in many styles... your soul boy could be a raver and your rare groover a house person and your happy hardcore raver could like something else.... so much good music to discover and a dial rammed from 87.5 to 108 full of interesting music. Tune ID request >> ? wahimbaaaaa wabimbaaaa un wa yoooooyyyyy wahimbaaaaaaaah wahimbaaaaah like an african chant with a melody... bassline was...... de dade deda de deda de

Call me old fashion, but this must be the most iconic free radio sound.
