\n02 Jul. 2000 GBR. Ramsgate harbour. On 1575 kHz MW. A test broadcast is made of Laser from Dave the Fish\u2019s boat, using the Argus (ex-Jackie) rig, while Dave\u2019s is being repaired. Further broadcasts follow, with reception noted in Suffolk and Belgium. This is possibly the only time a Radio Jackie built rig has seen offshore use. The aerial is a \u2018birds\u2019 nest\u2019 between two masts, and the earth is a wire attached to two dan buoys over the side in the water.

\nI have no problem with posting this as Dave the Fish is now safe from the dti\/ofcom, having sadly passed away, he was behind a lot of the tenders for the free Radio Caroline, ran his own station [yet another Laser] \ud83d\ude42 and did shows for Argus as well as others. RIP Dave, you did a great job.
