RIP Tom Taylor/ Barry Stephens a Short Wave Pirate Radio Legend.
Just got some very bad news, Barry Stephens (Tom Taylor) of European Music
Radio fame has died.
To many of us learning the art of Pirate Radio Broadcasting in the South East
of England in the 1970's, Tom was "The Governor".EMR was a class station,
probably the best Short Wave Pirate in the late 70's. Barry and his colleague
Roger Tate were legends.
Tom/Barry was also a really nice guy who helped us so much. He fixed our
transmitters so many times for us and taught us how important good modulation
was. Tom used to tell us "you have got to have hissing sidebands, mate"! By
that he meant, lots of top end so that it cut through the noise and splashed
audio on the next door channel!
Tom had a famous three wheeler Reliant Robin that the he took the EMR gear out
into the woods with! We will all remember that.
