Paul and his friends thought that it would be great if somebody set up an alternative station that played a lot of the music they liked and heard that wasn’t currently being played by stations that perhaps should have been playing it. This thought quickly turned into action. This was the birth of Emergency Radio 99.9FM. The transmitter was commissioned from a builder in London and was specifically designed to interfere as little as possible, with filters and so on, as a lot of the pirates in Bristol weren’t so good with this kind of thing and Emergency didn’t want to antagonise the authorities in this way. It was only 10 watts, but this was enough from a good high studio location to cover the city. In the early hours of Boxing Day 1988, they disappeared. They then teamed up with Venue Magazine to try and get the license for Bristol, but in the end FTP got the license and that was it. https://www.thepiratearchive.net/emer...
