Chelmsford Calling

Between 2000 & 2007 my radio hobby was mostly concentrated on 'Chelmsford Calling' - initially an RSL (restricted service licence) local radio station & then - for a short period - a full time community radio station. This was very much a homebrew affair, & whilst some similarly licenced stations may have committee structures & swanky offices & studios, we were basically Ann & myself & a little studio in the garage in our back garden (& a transmitter in the roof!).

We were fortunate enough to have a small number of dedicated volunteers, & above all we had wonderful listeners who - for the time during our RSL broadcasts - supported us far beyond our expectations. We received hundreds of amazing & poignant letters & many telephone calls from people hearing songs no longer played on the radio, & many shared their thoughts & recollections with us. All these years later, the main memory Ann & I have of Chelmsford Calling is the marvellous people we met & the fantastic responses we received.

All good things come to an end & we had to accept that it was not possible to sustain this little radio station in the way that I had set it up, so broadcasts from this small community service ended. With the benefit of hindsight it was definitely the correct decision - I didn't have the dedication or obsession needed to keep this project going - however we remember Chelmsford Calling with affection & had a lot of fun!

It is difficult to write a complete chronological history of Chelmsford Calling & I'm not sure this very little community station warrants such detail, so I've simply put together here a collection of items & audio to try & give a flavour of -

'Chelmsford Calling... LOCAL WIRELESS FOR THE MATURE LISTENER'

Our few minutes of fame! Anglia News visited us on our 4th short RSL broadcast in 2004.

(mind you - it had all begun 3 years earlier with our first 10 day broadcast in July 2001...)

BROADCAST NO. 1 - JULY 2001

Here's a selection of items from what was probably our most successful & enjoyable transmission, including our 1st (& only!) newsletter which summarised things quite nicely... (apologies for the first newspaper picture below - the obligatory shot of radio man with headphones on - I was carried away in the moment...)

I managed to get some helpful local publicity prior to our first broadcast & we did our own leaflet drop. I always asked the papers & TV not to say we were transmitting from our garage but some seemed to find this relevant & amusing!

Three audio items below -

extracts from our opening on 16th July 2001 / a small selection of ID's / 'Thought for the Evening' with Raymond Brown

Looking back it's interesting to note how ambitious we were on this first broadcast. Here's our Programme Schedule showing we packed a lot in to the live programming between 8.00am & midnight - quite adventurous for a small team with most of us being enthusiasts rather than experienced broadcasters!

One of our aims was to encourage non-radio people into radio, so we were happy to have people on air who had not previously considered presenting a radio programme. This, together with our encouragement of listener participation, made for a family atmosphere & certainly in this first broadcast we achieved many of the aims of a community radio project. We were also in the early days of email & before social media, so many listeners wrote traditional letters to us or telephoned in with requests & stories.

We 'discovered' a number of excellent presenters, from Arthur with his passion for music hall songs, to David & his love of 50's music, Jamie still at college, Rev. Raymond Brown with Thought for the Evening, - & lots more people who I'm sure enjoyed their time on this little radio station & went on to similar things elsewhere.

One of the requirements from Ofcom was to record all our output & keep for a set time. In 2001 many stations used the old long play video tape method, thus logs were kept on 8 hour video tape recordings. Over time only a few of the Chelmsford Calling log tapes remain - maybe one day these will find their way online.

For the technically minded, our equipment was extremely basic but more than adequate. For this first broadcast I borrowed an FM transmitter with a limiter/compressor from our good friend Tony at Angel Radio. This was placed in the roof of our house with a 5/8 vertical antenna fixed to the gable end & fed from the studio - in the garage in the rear garden - by an overhead wire feed which also carried the phone line out.

I recall our allocated power level was 15 watts, & this provided excellent coverage over a 5+mile radius with some people tuning in from 15 miles away. The transmitter was from the manufacturers 'Veronica' or 'NRG', so in common use by many small FM operators at the time & affordable to small organisations like me (I later purchased my own). I think we were well behaved enough to stick to the 15 watt allocation even though the transmitter was capable of 20 - 25 watts, but we may have made some allowances for those pesky losses in the co-axial cable...

The aerial was at a reasonable height & we managed to raise this further for later broadcasts to approximately 60ft by adding in lower support scaffold poles & having three sets of guy wires (handy being a builder!) however this was dropped down after each broadcast to avoid any adverse reactions.

I had partitioned off the end of the garage to make a small but cosy 12ft x 7ft studio, & the equipment was very old school. Whilst at the time (2001) we had a normal PC in the house, there was no computer system in the studio. Equipment included a Maplin SA-2020 mixer, x2 CD players, x2 mini-disc players, a cassette tape machine, x2 Garrard SP25 record decks, x2 condenser microphones, & various other similarly aged items.

All in all it was a basic, homegrown, sometimes very 'Heath Robinson' & often a 'Fred Karno' affair! That said, I'd like to think that the output heard was 90% equivalent to stations who have £1,000's budgets in technical terms & certainly equal to (& on occasions better than) the content from many similar stations today. Programme content was always far more important than having the newest or best equipment...

After the end of these first hectic 10 days I produced a newsletter summarising what we had done & I was obviously full of enough enthusiasm to apply for a second licence later in the year for 4 weeks! Here's a copy of our newsletter.

BROADCAST NO. 2 - DECEMBER 2001 - JANUARY 2002

So, with one successful 10 day broadcast under our belt it was time for the big one - 4 weeks! Ofcom regulations at the time allowed for x2 broadcasts per year up to a 4 week period for each. It seemed perfectly logical to go for a full 4 weeks & at this time my enthusiasm knew no bounds! Of course the expense was far greater - around £4,500 simply for Ofcom licence fees & music copyright (PRS & PPL) costs, but surprisingly I was able to raise this all from local businesses & organisations. My enthusiasm & perhaps my level of naivety - 'why wouldn't companies support a local radio station?' seemed to appeal to local groups who thankfully wanted to help us. Maybe I'm being a bit self-deprecating - just maybe we were providing a useful worthwhile service & others shared our ideals.

Publicity was again obtained & another leaflet drop & mail out was carried out before our next switch on. Friday 28th December 2001 - all systems go...

Again looking back & with the benefit of hindsight, perhaps I was taking on a bit too much, especially only 2 days after the Christmas break! Luckily we now had a bigger group of volunteers which made it easier but also brought it's own challenges. The studio was still in our back garden & this meant a constant flow of people through our home & this time for 28 days instead of 10. By new year - only 4 days in - I was tired & beginning to realise the enormity of the task ahead!

I recall having to live for the radio station constantly, being on the air until midnight every night & then up again early the next morning to get things ready for the morning presenter & put on any pre-recorded shows. Every radio in the house was tuned in to Chelmsford Calling so when I came in from the studio there was no escape! Also now with more presenters I had to make sure they were aware of the strict regulations which applied regarding content & what could or could not be said, so I found myself constantly listening. Added to this were the letters & emails which needed replies & phone calls to answer - thankfully Ann was a star with phone duties & I'm sure many rang up to talk to her rather than leaving a message for the station! Also young Michael took over on email monitoring, so I had good family assistance!

Despite all the trials of broadcasting for 28 days I still believed we were providing a much needed service, & letters & phone calls confirmed this sentiment. I also enjoyed broadcasting much of the time so it was a worthwhile project. We arranged two coffee mornings at our local All Saints Church where approximately 60+ people attended on each occasion, & these events also boosted our belief that we were providing a useful & fun service.

Recordings from this broadcast are scarce, although some log tapes still exist. Here is a montage of ID's & adverts...

Our music format remained the same as our first broadcast, basically music from or with roots in the 1920's to the 1950's, & this again proved popular. I believe our audience size was similar to broadcast no. 1 although with hindsight I believe it's harder to get listeners to stay tuned for an extended period of 28 days rather than the original 10 days.

Our 2nd broadcast ended on 24th January 2002 & I recall mixed feelings - relief that I could now have a rest (although not for long - I needed to get back to work & earn some money!), but also some sense of loss in that my station was off the air. To be honest I think I was caught up in an inflated feeling of self-importance & I got my perspectives wrong - maybe I needed to get my feet back on the ground.

Below is a write up of a talk I gave in May to our local church Kinsmen group, & it's interesting that at the time I said I had no plans for any more!

BROADCAST NO. 3 - NOVEMBER 2002

Well - I obviously had a change of heart! It wasn't long before I started planning another broadcast but with a different aim - to be a full community radio service for Chelmsford. 10 days again, so I presumably had learnt that 28 days was just too much, but now with a wider appeal to encompass all age groups & involving more community projects.

I was however aware that the previous Chelmsford Calling broadcasts had a dedicated following, so we kept daytime programming up to 4pm in the Chelmsford Calling style & then experimented with a kids / school programme & specialist shows.

Support was again forthcoming from local groups so funding was achievable to cover licence costs, & the wider outreach brought in new people to the station.

I was also conscious of the potential upcoming changes in radio licencing regulations with some stations taking part in the 'Access Radio' experiment which was to eventually lead to the introduction of full time community radio licences in the UK, so a wider appeal seemed worth considering.

Oh yes - we also changed our name! Now - Chelmsford Community Radio!

I guess this was a laudable intention, & we had the chance to target a different audience, although overall I'm not sure if the mix of programmes & in particular the sudden change at 4pm from old style to new actually worked. That said, at times this was an enjoyable experiment & taught me lessons for the future.

(NB. It's interesting to note that there now is a full time 'Chelmsford Community Radio' station which has a wide variety of programmes & presenters. This is not connected to our little experiment many years before & has survived far longer than any of my projects! I'm pleased that they have not made some of the classic mistakes that I did & I wish them many more years of success!).

So - here's some of our publicity & a few audio links...

Whilst most of the log tapes of our live programmes have not survived after 20+ years, I kept a large stack of mini-discs which is where the above audio was recorded. I also pre-recorded some of my Chelmsford Calling 7-8am morning shows for this broadcast to make things easier! Five of these programmes are available to listen to below & give a taste of our normal Chelmsford Calling programming style.

Our ten day broadcast was a useful experiment & showed that running a radio station for different age groups & interests was harder than our earlier more specific target audience. On the whole it was a fun experience but also a reminder of the large amount of organisation involved for a short 10 day broadcast.

Throughout this time the UK radio licencing regulations were under revue with regard to small scale community radio, although this process took longer than expected. I think at the time I decided to await the outcome of licence changes before proceeding with any more broadcasts, & it was not until July 2004 that we returned to the air. By this time regulations had changed to now allow low power community radio licences for stations who wished to broadcast to a specific area or to a particular interest group. Licences were to be issued in batches according to location, & the time for applications to be submitted for this area was coming up later in the year, so I thought it would be useful to see if there was still interest in the station & raise awareness of our intention to apply for a full time licence.

BROADCAST NO. 4 - JULY 2004

Our 4th transmission was under the Chelmsford Calling format so a return to our initial ideals of a broadcast aimed at a particular group - a community of interest station. It was a much scaled down affair for only three days thus a far lower cost, & just a handful of volunteer presenters helping out. That said, I remember this being good fun without some of the pressures of previous broadcasts, & we even had Anglia Television visit & put us on their local news programme!

One of the enjoyable parts of going on air for every broadcast was our test transmissions when we actually turned on our transmitter. Our licences ran from 00.00hrs so we never wasted any time in getting started & we made sure we got our money's worth! We generally started normal programmes in the morning of our first day but at midnight of the day before Ann & I were in the studio as we 'fired up' our transmitter, & we had quite a few of our dedicated listeners tuning in for this actual start. For me this was always somewhat euphoric as it was the culmination of months of work, & one of those little enjoyable parts of running the station. Here's our first 40 minutes from 00.00hrs on Friday 16th July 2004.

Chelmsford Calling July 2004 ID's & Announcements

This enjoyable three day broadcast indicated that there was still an audience for our type of programming & the enthusiasm of our listeners spurred me on to continue to the next stage, however things did not turn out quite as planned...!

FULL TIME COMMUNITY RADIO LICENCE

In November 2004 applications for the new full time community radio stations could now be submitted to the regulatory body OFCOM for the region covering Chelmsford. This was a fairly complicated & long winded process involving copious amounts of programming & technical detail, & the setting up of a limited company. Basically I had to justify why I felt there was a need for such a station in my locality or for the audience I wished to serve, & pay a non-refundable fee of £600 in the hope that I would be successful!

November 2004 until May 2006 was a long waiting game with various delays in the decision making process, however I finally received confirmation from Ofcom that my licence was to be granted! Whilst I felt a sense of success & relief, I recall there were few people left to share the good news with as most had drifted away from this project. In hindsight I can now see that this was probably due to my own inadequate team spirit, & my normal manner of working on my own (as a sole trader building contractor) was not really conducive to running a radio group! So - blinkers on & shutters down - I carried on regardless, similar to quite a few other radio station operators I know! In fairness to them & me, it is not uncommon for many community projects to only survive due to the determination & stubbornness of their founding person, but this can be fraught with pitfalls & does not lead to long term stability.

BROADCAST NO. 5 - 23rd DECEMBER 2006 -11th FEBRUARY 2007

I was able to return Chelmsford Calling to the air on 23rd December 2006, however this was a far cry from our previous four broadcasts. The full time nature of the station meant that I could not devote the necessary time needed so basically I set up an automated system which transmitted for 12 hours per day & could be left unattended whilst I returned to work. I kept to the original Chelmsford Calling format & had regular segments throughout the day of comedy & themed music, & the intention was to later insert recorded programmes & live shows. However it very soon became obvious that I had vastly underestimated the amount of work involved with programming, administration, technical issues & all else. Added to this was the realisation that unlike a short term broadcast which would come to an end, this would be 365 days a year!

I had to make a choice - persevere for a much longer period in the hope that adequate finances would become available & a good team could be put together from previous volunteers & new ones, or face reality & finish. I'm happy to say that I made the right decision & chose sanity, normal work & family over my unrealistic idea of running a community radio station almost single handed!

Chelmsford Calling - as a community radio service - closed on 11th February 2007, only seven weeks after returning to the air. The closedown was a very low key affair with a few words from me & quite fittingly the actual last words spoken by Ann - 'please don't forget to switch your radio off - you're wasting your batteries...' (for any of you recognising that phrase from another station you'll understand where my passion & love of radio started!).

A few recordings below - (1) a full collection of our ID's, information adverts, daily opening & close announcements, & general in between music drop ins; (2) our final one hour opening & closing announcements; (3) a request dedication programme which aired in the final week.

Sometime after ending Chelmsford Calling I wrote a summary of the four RSL's & community licence for one of my websites in 2008, & I include this below. Re-reading this now I can sense a slightly jaded feeling but am happy to report that this certainly does not persist now! My enthusiasm for radio waned for a short time only & different radio projects over recent years have been great fun... Where to next?!

Chelmsford Calling was a short lived radio station serving the 'mature' listeners of Chelmsford Essex. It's philosophy was to provide a combination of music, information & comedy specifically aimed at the older generations, who are neglected by the current mainstream media.

Chelmsford Calling was set up by me at the end of 2000 & was greatly inspired by 'Angel Radio' in Havant, run by two old friends Tony Smith & Martin Kirby. Angel Radio is still thriving today & is fiercely loyal to its original ethos of serving the older population, & is extremely popular with its target audience.

The first broadcast from Chelmsford Calling was for 10 days under an Ofcom RSL (restricted service licence) in July 2001, & was probably our most successful & enjoyable transmission. Our enthusiasm & the response from our audience was tremendous, & this was enough to spur me on to apply for a second licence to broadcast in December 2001 / January 2002 for 28 days. The regulations at this time only permitted 2 broadcasts per year for a 28 day period each.

Our second broadcast & third in November 2002, whilst still enjoyable, proved to be considerably harder in various ways - financially the cost of a 28 day broadcast is in excess of £4,500, & logistically the organisation & running of the station for a longer period raises different problems. That said, I believe we still provided a reasonable service which on the whole was worthwhile. Some of our programmes were very good, some very average, & a few were absolutely atrocious ! More importantly, & something we didn't admit to ourselves at the time, was the significant drop in audience response from our first broadcast - the novelty had possibly worn off.

Chelmsford Calling remained quiet until July 2004 when, with the advent of the new community radio licensing system imminent, a 3 day RSL broadcast was organised to see if there was still a desire for this service. The response was reasonable enough for me to apply in November 2004 to Ofcom for one of the new community radio licences which were to become available. This involved setting up a Limited Company & submitting a 35+ page application form setting out my aims & commitments for our new community radio service.

The whole licensing process took considerably longer than originally expected, & it was not until May 2006 that I was told the application was successful. This should have been an exhuberant moment, but the reality was that by now most local support which had been present in previous broadcasts had dwindled to virtually nothing. Little happened unless instigated by me. If I am to be generous to others then I will put this down to poor leadership & inadequate explanation on my part. If I was to be critical... but then that's futile.

With the benefit of hindsight perhaps I should have seen the writing on the wall & ended the whole project. However I had (& still have) one major problem - that is my passionate belief that there should be a radio service specifically for older people, which provides information, comfort & friendship in a gentle & respectful manner. I decided therefore to carry on regardless...

With the support & patience of Ann I set about preparing for full time community radio broadcasts to start in December 2006 - an extremely over optimistic target ! Surprisingly we were ready in time, & by the beginning of December had studios revamped, computer playout systems ready, announcements & information adverts recorded, transmission equipment prepared, website up & running (thanks to Michael), 4,000+ songs recorded to computer, & everything in place to operate 12 hours per day, every day. Nothing could go wrong...!

Chelmsford Calling commenced full time programming on 23rd December 2006 - & closed down on 11th February 2007.

It would be wrong to say that the closure of Chelmsford Calling was due to one specific reason, & looking back objectively it is obvious that a combination of problems occurred which took their toll. A few of these problems follow...

From 2 hours into our test transmission we were made aware that our transmissions were causing 'blocking' of many radios over quite a considerable area. This is the affect of our radio signal on poorly constructed radio receivers resulting in our transmission wiping out most of their normal reception.

Our transmission equipment had passed Ofcom's strict requirements, & whilst all radio engineers & radio amateurs will correctly tell you that the 'blocking' problem is purely due to the inadequacies of the radio receiver, I found it difficult to accept that I was potentially affecting the radio reception of 100+ surrounding properties - mostly elderly people who I was hoping to help. After various tests we significantly reduced our transmitter power which limited the 'blocking' problem but obviously greatly reduced our coverage. We were however still audible over 2-3 miles, which is not far less than the actual 5km radius which community radio stations are expected to have.

The audience response to our return & throughout our subsequent short life was low. I had thought that our return would have resulted in a moderate level of contact, & specific questions repeatedly asked in our broadcast warranted some response. Most people involved with radio will confirm that getting a response is difficult, but I would now question the belief that there are still many people listening. Community radio by its very nature should command a greater relative response from its audience because audience interaction is part of its ethos. I therefore had to seriously question how many people were actually listening.

Financially the basic cost of running a community radio station is less on a daily basis than the high costs of an RSL, although it is interesting to note that many community radio stations have exhorbitant budgets. I managed to return Chelmsford Calling to the air for less than £1,000, & our transmission & studio equipment was basic but perfectly adequate. However the cost that I never honestly calculated was the loss in earnings on time spent setting up & running the station. Being mainly self-employed I was able to find time if necessary, but always conveniently overlooked the drop in earnings.

We were fortunate enough to be awarded a grant by Ofcom of £6,500 from the DCMS fund, but since this coincided with our decision to close, the grant was declined by me & the allocation went to another station. I had put aside personal funds to cover the initial licensing & PRS / PPL costs, but it was difficult to justify using our own money unless there was sufficient evidence that our service was worthwhile. Unfortunately the allocated grant money could not be used for licence fees.

Further lesser problems occurred in the 9 week period from test transmissions to close on 11th February 2007. So - I had to decide whether to struggle on & provide a service which would not live up to original expectations & which was obviously not as important as I had imagined, or to close before becoming financially over committed & before losing my sanity... I thankfully chose the latter !

It is interesting to note that I waited 2 days after closedown before returning the official revocation paperwork to Ofcom, perhaps in the hope that people may come knocking at my door to persuade me otherwise - it didn't happen.

I therefore have the dubious honour of being the first person to hand back a community radio licence. Some length of time on now I'm more than happy with my decision & am not surprised that others have followed. Was the project a success or failure ? On the one hand it was a success in that I was granted a licence & this proves that a very small organisation can achieve the goal of obtaining a community radio licence. Obviously though the station was not sustainable in the way I set it up & so I can accept that overall it was a failure.

From a personal point of view it was a very interesting project & Ann & I met a wide variety of people, many of whom we will remember affectionately for a long time. Unfortunately a few people who became our friends are now no longer with us, & I believe that had they been alive still then Chelmsford Calling may have taken a different direction. We feel better for having known them & are pleased that they were involved with Chelmsford Calling.

As for the future - my passion for radio & music remains, & I watch with interest the dramatic way that radio continues to change. I believe many community radio stations will not survive, or will become primarily playout stations struggling to raise finance. There will always be exceptions - Angel Radio is the best example I know of what community radio is all about, & I am sure there are others.

Despite my experiences - or because of them - I am always willing to talk to anyone about radio, & am happy to give advice or help on how to - or how not to - set up & run a community radio station ! Personally I have no plans at present to become involved with community radio again, but I have stopped saying 'never again...'!

Footnote 1: Well - if you've reached the end of this long chapter, & have listened to even 25% of the audio, then I must applaud you! This was definitely the most obsessive radio project I took on & I'm happy to say I have no regrets & am also grateful that I finished when I did! I must apologise for my apparent feeling of self-importance in some of the recordings - I guess I did reach a level of dedication & obsession which is often associated with the ephemeral nature of such short term radio broadcasts!

Footnote 2: Writing this chapter has brought back a few other random memories, in particular regarding the final seven week broadcast.

I mentioned above the 'blocking' problem we had with our transmissions. We had not experienced this on 87.7MHz but we were now on a different frequency - 104.4MHz. Tests with other transmitters also showed a similar problem & whilst I am no technical expert I concluded that this new frequency in our location was a problem, possibly due to the affect on the intermediate frequency of most normal radio receivers? I decided to lower the power level down to reduce the blocking effect. Our transmitter had a power range of 1 - 25 watts, so I reduced from 15 watts down to the lowest 1 watt. We still had the problem. How could I reduce the power any more? A good colleague suggested an obvious solution - run the output through a coil of coax cable before going up to the aerial! It worked, & must be the only time a small scale station has been pleased to have coax losses! I recall we were running about 0.75 watts output, but surprisingly this still covered a reasonable area. Our aerial was also at a good height - atop an 18ft scaffold pole sitting in a redundant chimney stack!

Chelmsford Calling 'last resort' coax & our aerial pole - approximately 9ft in the stack & 9ft above.

Below - more studio pictures - 2007 - with Station Playlist running on the PC.

Jumping back to broadcast No. 2 in December 2001 & my quest to make my 15 watts go as far as possible! A combination of scaffold poles & lightweight aluminium aerial poles supported by three levels of blue rope guy wires on the back of our house!

All easily (?) accessible from the top of a triple ladder...

(I must admit that age has now taught me a far healthier level of respect for hard hats & safety...)

More random memories... My decision to close down was likely helped by my own financial situation in February 2007. I was due to receive the first round of charges from Ofcom & music copyright organisations & whilst I had personal money to cover these costs, the financial burden was now more apparent. I rang Ofcom to ask what would happen if I handed the licence back & they said they would have to decide as I was the first to do this! Bless them - they were surprisingly helpful & considerate & as I had not reached the time when the normal stage invoicing would have been issued they advised that no invoice would be raised. A similar response was received from one of the two copyright organisations. So - my choice of whether to continue or stop was made easier!

Of course, this makes me probably the first person to hand back a community radio licence after actually going on air... a somewhat dubious claim to fame!

Some years after my short involvement with community radio, I understand Ofcom held information sessions for people thinking of applying. One of my colleagues attended & apparently (this is only 2nd hand knowledge) mention was made of not wanting one-man band applications! Whether this was a wind-up or truth, I'd now have to agree with this viewpoint!

Thanks for reading... THE END?!
