+ GBR Cornwall. 1503 kHz [St Ives] and 102.8 FM [St Agnes] Radio Argus Cornwall changes a few other sites round today, as Pete threatened Simon, it is decided to move the 1602 kHz MW rig to St Dennis, thus only the link would come from Simon’s place. 103.1 FM from Newquay is off air as the person there is not sure who is running the station. He is reassured but decides to site the rig off his property. The link from Camborne is not strong enough to give a good enough signal to be relayed, and in any event the receiver intended for Newquay is now needed for the St Dennis rig. Programmes are rearranged, and the overnight service is largely taped music with jingles, Pete and his four associates have caused chaos to the DJ roster.
+ GBR. Bromley. Radio Argus London is on air this evening, unaware of the problems in Cornwall.
