Hi Rod. All sounds a lot of fun. Not like all the rules in radio today. I remember going on about Howard to Tony Allen and he said 'your problem is you look at the world through rose coloured spectacles'

I heard that Howard suffered a heart attack when h e was on Sovereign? Was that story true? It was a hot summers day in the attic studio there. They found Howard passed out over the desk and put him in the corner. Later it appeared he'd suffered a heart attack as he was a big lad

Tony James - the one who started on Radio 210 in Reading and Fox FM and later PD at Pirate FM in Cornwall - called it Radio Silvikrin with Christmas Card St.John

Tony James and Radio Duck Tim Allen were a crazy pairing. I'll always remember them at the Radio Floss transmitter site, prob Eastcote, playing on the swings in the kids playground nearby.
