Britain's first ever Special Event Radio licence was granted to Greenbelt Festival Radio in 1983, a short-term radio station at the Greenbelt arts festival. The station was pioneered and led by Peter Laverock. This was the precursor of the Restricted Service Licence stations we now have, and the first ever legal radio station run by enthusiasts rather than professionals. From noon on Friday 26th August to noon on Tuesday 30th August a dedicated team presented programmes on 963 AM including Christian music, speakers and poets. There was news from the festival and requests from listeners across the site. The studio was a small caravan in the backstage area, with a minimum amount of technical equipment. Guests included a brief interview with Cliff Richard after his mainstage concert. (info from www.wayneclarke.org/radio/radio-revolutionaries) In 1991 the SER licence was replaced by the Restricted Service Licence (RSL), which was issued by the Radio Authority instead of the Home Office (now issued by Ofcom). RSL licenses are granted for such things as coverage of special events and other special projects (e.g. training). Licensees are limited to a small coverage area and a usual maximum of 28 consecutive days. There are some exceptions to the consecutive days rule when covering a series of events such as those for sport (Radio Rovers on 1404 kHz and Radio Thruxton on 1602 kHz are current examples where they operate only when an event is being held). Low Power AM (LPAM) licences are issued throughout the UK, except within an area enclosed by the M25 London orbital motorway, and allow for freely-radiating transmission on the AM waveband at a usual maximum radiated power of up to 1 watt. The first experimental licence was issued in 1997 and since 1999 have been used for many establishments including military bases, universities and hospitals with fixed boundaries. Community Radio (CR) stations typically cover a small geographical area with a coverage radius of up to 5 km and run on a not-for-profit basis. The idea for this new level of radio broadcasting was piloted by the regulator at the time, the Radio Authority in 2002 with the licensing of 15 so-called Access Radio stations for a trial period of one year to test the feasibility of such stations. The licences were extended in 2003 for a further year, and in 2004 a consultation was issued by the Authority's successor, Ofcom, on the creation of Community Radio. They can cater for whole communities or for different areas of interest – such as a particular ethnic group, age group or interest group. Community Radio stations reflect a diverse mix of cultures and interests. For example, you can listen to stations which cater for urban or experimental music, while others are aimed at younger people, religious communities or the Armed Forces and their families. The Broadcasting Commission of Ireland (BCI) is the body that authorises stations to operate in the Republic for short periods, with temporary licenses allowing them to be on air for up to thirty days in a given twelve month period. These licenses may be used by stations providing a service to coincide with local, cultural and sporting events or festivals. One such recent example of this kind of temporary licenced station (BCI TEMP) is Zenith Classic Rock on 1584 kHz. One other kind of station that appears in this survey is the Test and Development licence that was issued to Bessemer Broadcasting in Sheffield on 1413 kHz and South Shropshire Communications on 1512 kHz in 1990/91. 2 LPAM & Community Radio stations currently on air on mediumwave All stations are LPAM unless otherwise stated and all are 0.001 kW unless otherwise stated Student stations may only operate during term time in some cases 648 Radio Caroline , Orfordness, Suffolk (1 kW) - 24h (CR) 936 Dales Radio , Hawes, North Yorkshire (0.15 kW) - 24h with prgrs for local community (CR) 1134 L&D Radio , Luton & Dunstable Hospital, Luton, Bedfordshire - 24h for hospital patients BFBS Gurkha Radio , Gamecock Barracks, Bramcote, Nuneaton, Warwickshire - 24h in Nepali/English BFBS Gurkha Radio , Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, Berkshire - 24h in Nepali/English BFBS Gurkha Radio , Catterick Garrison, North Yorkshire - 24h in Nepali/English BFBS Gurkha Radio , Dalton Barracks, Shippon, Abingdon, Oxon - 24h in Nepali/English 1251 BFBS Gurkha Radio , Imphal Barracks, York, North Yorkshire - 24h in Nepali/English RaW, Radio Warwick , University of Warwick, Coventry, West Midlands - 24h for students The Cat Radio , UCC, Padgate Campus, Warrington, Cheshire - 24h for students 1278 BFBS Gurkha Radio , Shorncliffe Barracks, Folkestone, Kent - 24h in Nepali/English BFBS Gurkha Radio , Beacon Barracks, Stafford, Staffordshire - 24h in Nepali/English 1287 Acacia Radio , Acacia Community Centre, Sutton-in-Ashfield, Notts - 24h with prgrs for local community BFBS Radio , Bovington Camp, Dorset - 24h, relay BFBS Blandford 89.3 FM BFBS Gurkha Radio , Blandford Camp, Dorset - 24h in Nepali/English BFBS Gurkha Radio , Infantry Training Centre, Brecon, Powys - 24h in Nepali/English BFBS Gurkha Radio , Invicta Park Barracks, Maidstone, Kent - 24h in Nepali/English BFBS Gurkha Radio , St Omer Barracks, Aldershot, Hampshire - 24h in Nepali/English BFBS Gurkha Radio , Imjin Barracks, Innsworth, Gloucester - 24h in Nepali/English BFBS Gurkha Radio , Warminster Barracks, Wiltshire - 24h in Nepali/English 1323 Akash Radio , Leeds, West Yorkshire - 24h for Punjabi community (CR) 1332 Radio Warrington , Warrington, Cheshire - 24h with prgrs for local community (CR) 1350 Hospital Radio Yare , James Paget Hospital, Gorleston, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk - 24h for patients Kingstown Radio , Hull Royal Infirmary, Hull, East Yorkshire - 24h for hospital patients Mid-Downs Radio , Princess Royal Hospital, Haywards Heath, West Sussex - 24h for hospital patients Radio Cavell , Royal Oldham Hospital, Oldham, Lancashire - 24h for hospital patients URY , University of York, York - 24h for students 1386 Anker Radio , George Eliot Hospital, Nuneaton, Warwickshire - 24h for hospital patients Carillon Radio , Loughborough Hospital, Loughborough, Leicestershire - 24h for hospital patients Radio City , Singleton Hospital, Swansea - 24h for hospital patients Radio Clatterbridge , Clatterbridge Hospital, Clatterbridge, Wirral - 24h for hospital patients 1413 Bradford Asian Radio , Bradford, West Yorkshire - 24h for Asian community (CR) 1431 Carillon Radio , Coalville Hospital, Coalville, Leicestershire - 24h hospital patients CHR 1431 , St Richard's Hospital, Chichester, West Sussex - 24h for hospital patients Radio Redhill , East Surrey Hospital, Redhill, Surrey - 24h for hospital patients Sheffield Hospital Radio , Northern General, Sheffield, South Yorks - 24h for hospital patients 1449 Leicester Community Radio , Leicester (0.05 kW) - 24h for the local community (CR) 1476 Carillon Wellbeing Radio , Coalville, Leicestershire (0.25 kW) - 24h broadcasting entertainment and health information to the area served by the West Leicestershire CCG;

  • History of the Aldershot Branch, Rsa
    HISTORY OF THE ALDERSHOT BRANCH, RSA Edition 2, June 2020 The author acknowledges with grateful thanks the considerable help received in compiling the military history content of this update. Paul Vickers, Chairman, Friends of the Aldershot Military Museum, generously provided much detailed information on Aldershot Garrison aspects. The story of the formation of C Troop was drawn from the research work of branch member, David Mullineaux, written up in the Royal Signals Institution Journal of Spring 2010. Branch Committee Member, Neville Lyons not only provided the lists of events and talks but also proof read the whole document and made valued suggestions on presentation. Historical Background There has been a strong link between Aldershot and the evolution of modern Army signalling ever since the establishment of the first Royal Engineers Telegraph Troop there in 1871. As the technology developed, so did the number of units both in Aldershot and worldwide with the result that at the end of the Great War there were 70,000 men serving in the Royal Engineers Signal Service. This led in 1920 to the formation of the Royal Corps of Signals which has maintained a continuous link with the Town and Garrison of Aldershot to this day. The full story of this evolutionary process is set out in a further new paper entitled “Aldershot: the Cradle of Army Signalling.” The technical and organisational details given there are separate from the history of the Association branch but there is a connection between the two stories which was particularly close in the early years of Royal Signals because of the units and individuals involved.

  • Blandford's Contribution to World War
    BLANDFORD'S CONTRIBUTION TO WORLD WAR TWO compiled by M.J. Le Bas 2020 7.12 BLANDFORD PREPARES FOR WAR With war looming in 1939, Blandford Camp was reactivated a s a t r a i n i n g c e n t r e f o r reservists called up, and for new r e c r u i t s s e e n here. Many new huts were built for accommodation, as most of the huts from WW1 had long since been demolished or sold on. Some became the huts for the Blandford Scouts in Eagle House Gardens. INVASION? In 1940, Blandford received prominence when Prime Minister Churchill declared Blandford must become 'a strategic tank island to be defended at all costs'. This was in response to the threat of German invasion after the Fall of France in May. The German plan, one of many, was to land in August 1940 on the Dorset Coast “Operation Sealion”, and strike northward rapidly to the Bristol Channel, thereby capturing Blandford featured strongly in the German at a stroke the ports of Devon and plans. It lay on one of three routes the German Cornwall and enabling the landing Army would have taken, the others being of German forces unopposed. Maiden Newton and Fordingbridge, with Blandford and the crossing of the River Stour at it's bridge, being the most advantageous route. LOCATION ? . In order to confuse the invaders, town signs were ordered to be removed, here in particular the word BLANDFORD that was prominently displayed on street and sewer drain covers, and on the charity boards in the Parish Church.

  • Air Marshal Cliff Spink Profile
    Air Marshal Clifford Spink CB CBE FCMI FRAeS Cliff started his flying career on the Jet Provost at Cranwell followed by advanced flying training on the Gnat. A period of tactics/weapons training on the Hunter preceded his Operational Conversion Training on the Lightning at RAF Coltishall. He then served with 111(F) Sqn at RAF Wattisham flying the Mk3/5 Lightning (weekends were spent as CFI of the local Gliding Club). Following a weapons instructor course he was reposted to ‘Treble One’ before moving to 56(F) Sqn in Cyprus on the Mk 6 Lighting. It was during this period that the Turks invaded the island and 56 Sqn were heavily involved in the subsequent air operations. The squadron returned to Wattisham in 1975 and Cliff finally left the Lightning Force the following year, having amassed 1,300hours on the ‘most exhilarating rocket ship any young man could wish to fly’. A ground tour followed and during this period (playing truant from his desk) he reacquainted himself with the Chipmunk to stay sane. In 1979 a refresher on JP5 followed by some Hunter FGA 9 weapons training preceded his introduction to the Phantom FGR2 at Coningsby. After a short course it was back to 111(F) Sqn now flying a mix of FGR2/FG1 Phantom at RAF Leuchars. Cliff was to be associated on and off with the F4 for the next 10 years and this included 2 ½ years as the Squadron Commander of 74(F) Sqn, ‘The Tigers’, flying the F4J (UK), and a year in the Falklands as Station Commander of Mount Pleasant Airfield.

  • Hans Knot International Radio Report November 2014
    Hans Knot International Radio Report November 2014 Welcome everybody to the November edition of the radio report. Many interesting e-mails as well questions, photos and sad news. First we go to someone who was not known to me till 4 weeks ago: ‘Hi Hans I was working for a period on the MV Mi Amigo during 1979. I went out with some friends while the station was off the air between the Mi Amigo and Dutch Caroline. We cleaned up the records and painted the ship and it looked quite well when it returned to the air during Easter 1979. I left the ship on the day it returned to air and came back on the Mi Amigo in September 1979. ‘Captain’ Harris was on board then, he was the only person with past ‘sea’ experience but for some reason he didn’t want to leave the vessel and return to land! Gary Tanner and Robb Eden. Photo collection G.Tanner While on board, there was a suitable supply of beer and soft drinks for the crew members but due to excessive consumption by the captain, this had to be rationed! I’ll sort out some photos I took while I was on the Mi Amigo. Interestingly I have photos of the barge, which delivered the fuel and crew on the night before it returned to the air in April 1979, and would be willing to write up the experience of the night. Briefly, the events unfolded as follows: A few weeks before I joined the Mi Amigo in 1979 to carry out maintenance and painting works in preparation to the stations return to air, a storm hit the south east coast of the UK and washed a barge containing a crane onto the beach at Margate, Kent.

II ABSTRACT Title: The Evolution of British Asian Radio in England: 1960 – 2004 Author: Gloria Khamkar This doctoral research examines the evolution of British Asian radio in England from 1960 to 2004. During the post-war period an Asian community started migrating to Britain to seek employment as a result of the industrial labour shortage. The BBC and the independent local radio sector tried to cater to this newly arrived migrant community through its radio output either in their mother tongue or in the English language. Later, this Asian community started its own separate radio services. This research project explores this transformation of Asian radio, from broadcasting radio programmes for the Asian community on existing radio stations, to the creation of independent local and community radio stations, catering to the Asian community exclusively in England. Existing research concentrates on the stereotype images and lack of representation of Asian community on the British radio; it lacks a comprehensive overview of the role of radio during the settlement period of the newly migrant Asian community.
