Hospital Radio Stortford

I’ve
heard from Brian Smith who used to be with the station between 1974 and 1984.
As I started in 1984 there is a small overlap but we did meet at the presentation
of a cheque from Bishop’s Stortford R.E.A.C.T. But he has sent some pictures
and cuttings from his collection. Thanks Brian.
Christmas Day
1978 is
Brian on air in the old hospital social club. We were still at Windhill and the British Legion Club was closed on
Christmas Day. We wanted to do a broadcast so we jury-rigged a disco
console into the system.
This is Brian opening
the evening and introducing Keith Woods, a Friday night regular for many
years. We’d just moved into the portacabin and
you can see that everything was distinctly shaky, including the announcer’s
table!

request-collecting in Chelmsford Ward. The lady’s name is not known.
This is the full feature article from the Bishop’s Stortford Gazette. The reporter Alison Burnett was a presenter on RS for a while.

Studio Manager) and Peter Sinden (Treasurer).
Minutes later, Lynda smashed the bottle with such force
that we were all showered with glass!
