Sorry to hear that. You must be getting used to it by now!!!

This from "Beans" on FRN

"one can only wonder if Alfa Lima didn't roll over on Merlin and cause them to be busted. Nasty, nasty bunch of people on AL. They appear to be intent on getting pirates busted!"


Don't think his drugs are working properly :P

well mr merlin, if you did not use fm, offcom would have not raided you. you only attract them by use fm. they pay more attentoin to fm pirates and are allways listening .belive you me.

hi ross revenge only music was aired on FM no station ids only on SW. The FM site was not raided only the SW site .The fm rig was not in the same place as the SW tx ,and was used just as a music link .

Back on live on the 30th from our end of summer party alll trance house and breakbeat .Dont know if we will be back after that .
Before mystery FM it it was called lush before it was called lush it was called renegade .We broadcast the last 7 days of radio caroline on the astra sat 19 deg on fm.
It went of the air when I got back I found all my cables were cut .I went down to the record shop who were being advertised on rengade fm the owner said it was them ,so I went up to their tx site and found them .I told them we would sort them out if they done it again then it all stopped .

The Other day one of our djs with a big mouth was talking to one of the owners of mystery fm, about me not knowing I had trouble with them in the past ,then a week later our tx site was smashed up again .So I dont know if it was offcom or them bastards again if it was them,we will take them of the air no problems. They sent me death threats before.
cheers

Hi
Just to let you know our party was a great success.The FM tx was on from 15.00hrs ,and the SW came on at 17.30 had reports back from france europe ect but just on 15 watts.
It looks like the raid on merlin was done by a local FM pirate who we had trouble before with under a diffrent name.
On saturday we had 7 DJs 2 rappers MCs 1.000 watt pa system plus lasers fire eaters over 150 people turned up.The party didnt end until 4.30 there was no trouble and everyone had a good time.
The SW tx was shut off about 11.00pm .Hope you like the pictures .RMI is off the air until a new tx site can be found also new link ariel ect.
