Colin was a major part of Laser Hot Hits and kept the station going through thick and thin. He was always a friendly and helpful person who was greatly respected by all those involved with Laser. We all admired his &#8220;can do&#8221; attitude, never letting any excuse get in the way from carrying out the more difficult or unpleasant jobs to keep the station on the air. He also had an impressive engineering knowledge that he put to good use building high power valve transmitters for Laser.<\/p>\n<p>Many listeners probably know that Colin had a long history in free radio, being involved from the start with the long running SW station Radio Gemini which began back in 1972. Laser Hot Hits then evolved from the last broadcasts of Radio Gemini in the early 1990&#8217;s. Colin&#8217;s sudden death has come as a big shock to all of us and he will be irreplaceable. However we shall try to continue for the time being as a tribute to the memory of a great man. <\/p>\n<p>On the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freeweb.telco4u.net\/nogs\/laser\/sounds.html\">Sounds<\/a> page we have added the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freeweb.telco4u.net\/nogs\/laser\/sounds\/ColinDixon0108.ram\">last show<\/a> recorded by Colin less than a week ago.
