    Process the video through windows movie maker orsomething similar, turn the volume up on the video before uploading! sound level's close to inaudiable,

      Inaudiable really?. Did all of the above - sounds ok on my PC. Try checking your sound settings.

    I listened to this as a fourteen year old kid on a small black radio I hid under my bed cover. I had no idea it broadcast for such a short period of time.

    J.ECOUTAIS CETTE RADIO DANS LE NORD DE LA FRANCE VRAIMENT GENIAL PAR RAPPORT AUX RADIOS FRANCAISES A L.EPOQUE

    By all accounts Laser had a badly designed studio, a cheap mic, an equally cheap mixer that didn't work probably and had to be replaced by a Gates mixer (probably borrowed from their neighbour Caroline), and aerial masts that kept falling down. Meanwhile behind the scenes there were rumours of horrendous boardroom fights. And yet, none of that mattered in the end because thanks to the sheer professionalism and skill of the DJs it was a great station and deserved all the popularity it had at the time.

      Not true Lee. But then again, the story that Little MNicky Horne told was so nonsensical (e.g. American owners, $2m funding. all bullshit)

    Yes this station would be heard everywhere in East Kent where I grew up . Although I enjoyed Lazer 558 my favourite was RNI with Caroline and Veronica close behind .
    Happy memories of the lost days of the watery wireless as Kenny used to say

    Laser 588 is back as an online radio station. However, the DJs sound voice tracked rather than live.

    Three Days and Three Months [1984-01 - 1987-04] .
    The sea transmitter Laser 558 broadcast from the transmitter ship MV Communicator, anchored in the vicinity of Radio Caroline's transmitter ship Ross Revenge off the English coast.
    Test broadcasts started on January 19, 1984. Broadcasts were stopped on April 20, 1987.
    Frequencies (wavelengths) used were 558 kHz (538 m) and 576 kHz (521 m) medium wave.
    A patrol boat lay between the Communicator and Ross Revenge to spy on and photograph any movement of supplies or supporters visits.
    This boat "Dioptric Surveyor" served as a spy ship on behalf of the DTI (Department Of Trade and Industry).
    This action, called Eurosiege 85, was intended to deter all employees, such as suppliers, sponsors, disc jockeys, and thus to silence the sea transmitters for good.
