A Look At Radio Heatherwood's Past:-

Staff Records

The early days from 1976 until 1984 presenters would sign in at the studio each broadcast night.

Personnel records were not kept as to who when or what was working for the hospital radio service.

The only record we have are some faded magazines and photo's of those early heroes.
