rmi off air due to cable being cut for the fourth time .The last three times the cable has been cut was from the same person, legal action has been taken against this person for crimanl damage.
Due to tx site problems rmi is off air again ,also the last time the cable was cut it took out the 150 watt tx which we are still looking for new parts .
We are in the process of relocating the main ariel and hope to be back on the air by the end of June on full power once again.
The first time the ariel was cut down was a local fm pirate, which has now moved away from our site ,the rest was done by someone else who was caught the last time he cut it down.
He has cost us over £300 pound in damages which we dont have right now,But we have got a new baker that has just put some money into rmi to put us back on the air .
So many thanks to richard for the money for the tx and the new site RMI will return nobody is going to stop it

Stuff like that makes one wish for US-like laws, where you can put a piece of lead in their leg :twisted:
