May 1989
* GBR. Colchester. The studios of the off-air station Overflow Radio, are closed for good, the landlord objects to the house being turned into a hippy squat and painted bright colours…
* GBR. Colchester. A new studio is found, but the only place for the aerial is to poke a dipole through a ground floor window, a brief test of Overflow Radio is made, but it is abandoned, as the signal is lousy.
