ENJOYS MOST ABOUT HRB:
Providing a worthwhile and memorable service for the
patients and staff, meeting a variety of different characters during my
ward rounds and making close friends with many members over the years.
BEST HRB MOMENT
1984 - The first year of HRB - the station worked so well
together as a team.
1988 - Induction loop was introduced;
The HRB Music Awards programmes;
Nov 2000 - when I was elected Chairman;
Jan 2001 - When I was the first person to broadcast after the station was
off air for 18 months
OTHER RADIO EXPERIENCE
Reporting and producing sport on both BBC and independent
local radio, and being part of Basingstoke Carnival Radio and Kestrel FM
when they were run as short term stations in the early nineties.
