NOT CAUSING INTERFERENCE
The coast guard contacted Laser via Radio Caroline on the 20th February. The coast guard were experiencing some interference, Laser left the air, but the interference remained, Caroline left the air and still the interference remained. It was eventually tracked down to the transmitters of BBC Radio 1 and the BBC World service.
Laser returned to full power, at 15.35 on the 26th. Charlie Wolf appeared for two minutes and ten seconds on Channel 4 TV on 1st March, interviewed by Jools Holland for the programme "The Tube".
Repair work to the mast was completed on 13th March, and the transmitter was run at its full power of 25,000 Watts. On 27th March, the station went off the air from 13.30 to 14.00, no reason was given. During a force nine storm on 12th April, Laser went off the air suddenly at 07.36, as they were adrift. They returned at 10.35 after spare anchors were put down. On 23rd April at 16.55, the front mast collapsed again, forcing Laser off the air. During the next two weeks a completely new front mast was erected.
