So you mistook your aerial tower in your back garden for your bench dummy load? Easy mistake to make I suppose.

Hilarious..I can't imagine he did it on purpose tbf..Wrong connection cable easy done spose.. He's a character alright.... I like Albert and his recollections of the times gone by and what he got up to, technical advancements, set ups and confusing the DTI or post office I think it may have been int 70's..

What's this bit?

Must admit, I do enjoy his stories. He should write a book

Albert is a radio legend.

Roobru.. I read a while back about Albert H using j poles.. They don't give much signal strength or something below the rig site so he would put dummy aerials up to confuse DTI as they couldn't get a proper fix on the signal.. So as you can imagine watching the dti go up blocks with broken lifts only to find out that the dipole on top was wood painted to look like a shiny aerial was funny as fuck..It's all very interesting stuff..Brilliant..

Ha ha, genius!

He should start a blog about his antics, I'm sure it would be very entertaining

The last person you'd want wiping out and causing havock to your station would be Albert hahahaha.

I got really pissed off with a Ramadan "wailer" that was wildly overmod over this way last year, so I found their link frequency (Band 1 as usual) and fed BBC Radio 3 up their link from a little battery-powered transmitter with a wire aerial up a tree next to their site, with a cheap transistor radio providing the MPX. Apparently they complained to the BBC about the "interference", but at least they were shut up for a few days! I want and collected the gear when its battery died!

Superb mate. You really need to write a book

No interface at the moment I'm picking up vision 884 west of reading tonight

teckniqs · Post by **teckniqs** » Sun Jul 10, 2016 9:40 am

Interface was the first London pirate to use Internet radio, ran by a cool dude called MadAsh.
Originally Hart FM 90.4 (heart without an E) up until Heart FM 106.2 launched in 1995 and then changed name to Face FM 90.4. From the Battersea/Wandsworth area I believe.
They left the FM dial in 1997 to become London's 1st ever internet station 'Interface Radio'.

....But it's good you're not getting any interference on 88.4 past Reading with 88.5 BBCR2 blasting out the dial.

Very good tuner separation it's only a problem if it's the same frequency like classic wiping out house on 1003 but that's when im in Windsor no chance of picking up house fm in reading?

I forgot to say I do rember Hart 904 and I didn't know that they became face fm

I could only listen at night because I lived out by Woking at the time and had to wait until the Radio 3 transmitter from Guildford switched off at night, but it used to come over solid once that monstrosity had tucked up to sleep around 12/1am.
I think Hart would then switch off around 3 or 4am, you would hear the old electronic door bell sound come over the radio which Scott used to put in his rigs as a 'trip switch' alarm for the hatch or door, and moments later.....Hsssssssssssssssssssss. Off for the night.

....Anyway, back to Vision.

A few months back I could hear them faintly here at home but no trace of them any more which I do find strange because they've moved to a better place. Must just be the way the land lies.

That's going back a bit R3 and R4 have been 24 hours for over 20 years now?

teckniqs · Post by **teckniqs** » Mon Jul 11, 2016 3:29 pm

At least.

Up till the early 90s the dial was totally empty between 90.2 to 94.9 were totally vacant when radio 3 and 4 switched off around 0045 am till about 5.30 am so any pirate broadcasting at that time would get out for miles?
