Radio London RSL 1997

• To Commemorate the 30Th Anniversary of the closure of Big L, EAP owner Ray Anderson run a 28 day RSL. The ship was anchored 1 mile off the coast at Frinton, Essex, using the same frequency of 1503Khz. Using 1 watt of power ( well maybe 110watts ), coverage was most of Essex during the daytime.

• This is Ray in the studio, just about to start his morning show, sitting in for TW.

This is a picture from the Tender, looking up onto the Big L Boat. Boat trips were running hourly, during the 28days, weather allowing. You will notice Tony Haggis ( in shorts ), one of the Captains from radio caroline in the 80's

This was going to be the Big L boat, but Ray was unable to get the boat out of the docks. The light ship belongs to the Scouts & is located behind Essex University in Colchester.
