* GBR. The Observer newspaper has a piece on pirate radio, naming Radio Shoestring on 103.2 FM in London, broadcasting from Walthamstow. It also mentions Radio Freedom, Radio Free London, Radio Infinity, Alice’s Restaurant and JFM in London, plus EST in Birmingham, KFM in Stockport and Radio JB in Newcastle. Also featured is Radio Sunshine broadcasting from a caravan near Ludlow, which has been fined £500 in the past month with equipment seized, after complaints from licensed Beacon Radio and Wyvern Radio, but was back on air within two hours of the raid. Again, this says a lot about a station using a caravan for a studio and not a lot about the standards of the higher-powered licensed stations with their comfortable studios.

+ GBR Saltash. 1494 kHz MW. Radio Argus Plymouth is on air today with taped shows 06:00-10:00 and 15:00-19:00
+ GBR Cornwall. 1503 kHz MW. [St Ives], 1602 kHz MW [Camborne] 6210 kHz SW [Camborne] and 102.8 FM [St Agnes] via a link system from Camborne, Radio Argus Cornwall is on air today. the 6210 kHz Short-Wave service goes 24 hours as an experiment for the rest of the month. Not a lot of response is noted, compared to MW and FM, and there is irritation among the staff that any listeners who do respond have little or no programme feedback or requests, have usually only listened long enough to get the mailing address before clearly tuning somewhere else, and want QSLs, which are seen as a signed admission of unlicensed broadcasting giving date, time and frequency, something it is felt the authorities could use in a prosecution. The SW is thus being considered a waste of time and the 24 hour service is to see if different reception areas respond differently
