Eventually a sound proofed studio was constructed. It featured a custom-built mixer, cartridge jingle players and open-reel recorders. The studio remains to this day.

MEMORIES ARE MADE OF...

I've always held a fascination for electronics, tape recorders, recording and audio. Back in my school days I won a tape recording competition organised by The City Of London.

With my new-found friends at Invicta I had found an outlet for my recording and technological interests. Each week I would help the Invicta guys with small electronics projects. A new mixer, an extra record deck. I was fascinated by my new - albeit illegal - hobby.

Within a year, Radio Invicta had established a studio in my home. With help from other pirate friends learned the craft of building a VHF transmitter. The seeds were being sown for me to become the sad techno-nerd that I am today!

Invicta's studio became famous world-wide as this front cover from a Danish hobbyist magazine shows
Milestones included the first 'open plan' studio in my bedroom, then my mother's willingness to allow a soundproof cubicle to be built in the largest room of the flat. To this day, that room remains - it serves the purpose of a video editing suite.
