Doug Wood RIP"
Doug Wood was a true radio man.I met him a number of times over the years.One particular encounter was in the late nineties. There was a relay of Caroline on FM and myself and friend set out to track it down.We got it down to a row of houses when we were about to give up.Then my friend spotted a house with the name plate "Caroline" I knocked on the door and a mystified lady appeared,I gave her my telephone number and asked if she would pass it on.Later that day I received a call from none other than Doug.He was totally convinced that he had found away around the law and had a letter to prove it.Doug continued to broadcast on two FM frequencies for years until Caroline's fiftieth birthday when he did an interview on the local BBC radio station and he must have mentioned his station "The Radioship".Shortly after his house was raided when he was not at home.Doug was still working for Signal Radio at the time and it was a particularly worrying time for for him.God bless Doug a great broadcaster and good to have known you.I only hope that my support may have helped you a little when you were up against it.
