25 Jul. 1987. GBR. Redruth. The last day of the 1503 kHz MW balloon aerial, which has to be removed by 17:00. Radio Argus Cornwall taped shows are announcing the close of the service, and telling people that the station will be back in a day or so. Meanwhile the aerial wire has been attached at the warehouse end, the earth wires run, and the pole erected, with the aerial wire; a mammoth job, in which Pete Davis, Bill Lyons and Sid Jackall managed to fit in a few hours. 17:00, Ginny takes the rig from the superstore, and takes it to the garage studio, before returning to ensure the aerial wire is cut as far back as possible. In the meantime, by 18:00, the rig is being tuned up, and by 18:30 a joint live show with all four DJs is going out!
