My radio “career” started in my shed in 1988 running a pirate station called Radio Rupert with my late wing man Richard Letts aka Supercrook. We got removed from the airwaves by the DTI and my next go at radio was at Vision FM an RSL (Restricted Service Licence) station in Braunstone in Leicester. The station was set up as part of the New Deal project that saw a lot of money invested in the estate. I eventually presented the breakfast show for a couple of the 28 day broadcasts and will be forever grateful to the late Steve Hanley aka Steve Antonio for giving me the chance to get on air.

In 2007 I was asked to join Harborough FM a community radio station that had just started to broadcast to Market Harborough. I ended up presenting the mid morning show full time until October 2014 when I left the station.

I just got a say a big thank you to Dave. My NATO 2000 was back from him within a couple of days working better than they used to new. The new radio is back in its box as the NATO is brilliant. Brings back memories of the good old CB days in the 70s & 80s.
Just applied your squelch pop mod to my Colt Excalubur with great success and looking forward to trying the FM mods, thanks for providing the info Dave!
