A
Radio
Club was formed to investigate the possibility of providing
a Hospital Radio service to the as yet unfinished Withybush
Hospital. Initial funds of £500 and 500 records
were donated by North Pembrokeshire Grand Lodge RAOB.
1500 records were donated by Milford Haven Lions Club.
The
hospital building was finished and patients were transferred
from the old County Hospital. The radio club embarked
on some test broadcasts using commercial disco equipment,
from a trolley bay in the so far unused outpatients
department. The experimental broadcasts were a huge
public relations success and the hospital authorities
decided to allow the radio station to go on air permanently
from a temporary studio affectionately known as the
broom cupboard.
