bigsteve Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Found this site giving a good history of R1. Loads of old jingles on there (1 million watts of music power...) and some really interesting information on transmitters :wink: Jules does get a mention, but still no date of exactly when he started on R1 http://www.radiorewind.co.uk/jingles_menu_page.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neuro Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 I've browsed on this site a long time ago, lots of info here, though anything previous to the 1980s I wouldn't remember :wink: and some really interesting information on transmitters Have you still got that scrapbook with all those photos you've taken of transmitters? I found out the grid reference for the Hemel Hempstead radio transmitter is TL088045 by the way, I know you've been looking for that for some time :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigsteve Posted March 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Erections of that height in the Kent area require Planning Permission from the local council. Its not often that anything that height is seen in the area :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not often that anything that height is seen in the area :? i think he said that he was trying to build two erections actually - one at kent and at newcastle so he can always work on one erection at a time..

bigsteve Posted March 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Maybe he won't need to work on getting the height so much if he has 2 that he can send his pulses from :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

attilasumer Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 thanks for that site - i've just spent my lunch hour getting all emotional at memories of Bruno Brookes presenting the chart show and Mark Goodier making LSI by The Shamen Essential New Tune - aaah, the memories, I guess I'm now making myself look rather old, hehe!! Nice one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not often that anything that height is seen in the area :? haha this is a great thread! I think Traill is erected a few antennae in his time, though as you say it seems his 'network' is down at the moment. Always a bugger, that. Steve and atilasumer - if you two are old enough to actually remember the old Radio 1, then I would also like to join the club (albeit the younger side of 30) 8-) .
