My station's name was Laser105,9 and it just got raided a few hours ago... Saddest day for me so far

[entheogenic135]

The day Laser 558 stopped, was the saddest day in radio for me. It was a real pleasure to meet Charly Wolfe and Jessie Brandon in Amsterdam in 2009. Is there anyone who nows what happened with Chris Carson after she left the ship ?

Those Transmitters ended up in Ireland for a GOD Station, in Monaghan

[MarkAJAgi]

£500 fine each! That's a lot!

[Markgcr]

I lived in Luton and they were loud during the day and had a very clear frequency at night.

[Pulsar205]

Maybe they'll shut down the internet one day

[AnthonyUK]

I could only pick up Laser 558 after midnight in NW England when it came booming in, other times it was poor.

PS Anyone interested there is a Laser 558 group on Facebook.

Yeh. The other stations were jealous of the satelitte LASER technology that meant it had the best quality signal that has ever been heard on a radio set. Anyway, the IBA stations couldn't stand LASER because it was beyond CD quality using cartridge technology to blast out power across the North Sea which amplified the signal ten fold every 5 km that it travelled so by the time it reached shore it was like a tsunami of signal excellence!!

Twoddle

[Markgcr]

What a bunch of bollocks but they did have a good signal and reasonable fidelity for AM. Caroline had better fidelity with their Optimod audio processor.

Hi Mark

Funny how the guy above hasn't shared his I.D. LOL.

And I endorse your sentiments.

You obviously know nothing about radio or AM LASER technology.. Why do you think they had so many tanks of helium on board? It was to power the top secret LASER crystal technology. The reason it was out at sea was as a test run to see if the technology actually worked but in a safe environment in case the cold fusion technology actually caused a melt down!As everyone knows it DID work, but the IBA and DTI brought LASEr to its knees before its technology could be shared.

[tesug]

Ha ha, good wind up. Well you know the lyrics to the song then.

As to the rest, helium etc. ask the people that worked on the station, they know.

And you're quite correct I know nothing about radio, if that keeps you happy.
